Best and worst cabins on Carnival Spirit
Most cabin advice is somebody's opinion. This is measurement. We read the published deck plans for Carnival Spirit, worked out where each of the 1,067 cabins physically sits, and ranked them.
Carnival Spirit is a Spirit class ship, about 85,920 gross tons, carrying around 2,124 guests at double occupancy, in service since 2001. The cabins we can place on the plans run from deck 1 to deck 8. The deck plan legend colours them as 634 balcony, 283 interior, 102 ocean view, 48 suite.
On this measure the steadiest cabin aboard is 1197 on deck 1 (Interior), and the one that should move most is 8277 on deck 8 (Balcony). Every other cabin on Carnival Spirit 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.
