CB cabin guide

The 44 CB balcony cabins are spread over decks 6, 7, 8, 10 and 12; Deck 7 has the most (18). By position along the ship, 16 forward · 8 midship · 20 aft. By side, 18 port · 26 starboard.

Midship cabins (18% of this category) sit closest to the ship's pivot point, where motion is gentlest in a swell; forward cabins feel the most.

On the deck plans, 24 of these 44 cabins have no public space directly above or below. 10 sit below public space and 18 sit above public space — potential noise, so check the deck above and below before you book.

Measured on the deck plans, footprints in this category range from 90% to 158% of the ship's average balcony cabin, so the cabin number matters.

Deck 12 is the highest deck with CB cabins and Deck 6 the lowest.

Best located: midship, no public space above or below

Watch out: public space directly above
