Best and worst cabins on Caribbean Princess

Most cabin advice is somebody's opinion. This is measurement. We read the published deck plans for Caribbean Princess, worked out where each of the 1,545 cabins physically sits, and ranked them.

Caribbean Princess is about 112,894 gross tons, carrying around 3,140 guests at double occupancy, in service since 2004. The cabins we can place on the plans run from deck 5 to deck 15. The deck plan legend colours them as 711 balcony, 456 interior, 214 suite, 188 ocean view.

On this measure the steadiest cabin aboard is P217 on deck 5 (Ocean view), and the one that should move most is L312 on deck 15 (Balcony). Every other cabin on Caribbean Princess falls between the two.

How this is worked out, and what it does not cover

A ship pivots about a point amidships and low down. The further a cabin sits from that point, the more it moves in a swell. So the ranking below is distance from amidships, weighted with height above the waterline. It is a position measurement, not a review.

What we are not claiming. We have not mapped the bars, clubs and galleys on this ship, so nothing here is a noise rating. A steady cabin under a nightclub is still a cabin under a nightclub. We also could not establish which end of this ship's plans is the bow, so we describe cabins as amidships or near an end rather than forward or aft.

The cabins that move most

High up and close to an end. Fine for most people, worth avoiding if you are not.

The largest cabins

By floor area on the plan, against the median cabin on this ship. Suites will dominate, which is the point: this is where the space is.
