Rare Clearwater Posted April 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Apparently I was assigned without knowing to 10216. On carnival site, it looks like a regular balcony. When I google the cabin, it pops up as premium balcony. One site reads: Carnival Vista Cabin # 10216 Category 9B - Premium Balcony Stateroom Stateroom #: 10216 Category: Category 9B - Premium Balcony Stateroom Description: We designed Carnival Vista balcony staterooms for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, and this stateroom features a balcony that's even wider than our standard balcony. Enjoy the extra outdoor space, along with all the standard Carnival stateroom amenities. With that said, I have never stayed on the lido deck. Is this good or awful? Noise from pool, far from things, etc. I am usually on 6 or 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezal Posted April 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 17, 2023 that search result appears to be a mistake. 10216 8E standard balcony https://help.goccl.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/779 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mz-s Posted April 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 17, 2023 You are far forward enough you shouldn't have much noise from Lido. You are also forward of the FWD elevators, so you shouldn't have much foot traffic in your cabin area. There are cabins above and below you. Overall a decent location I'd say. The only downside is probably that you are far forward, so you'll be walking the length of the ship a lot most likely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess will be good walking off the holiday and cruise food a little more with some extra steps LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObstructedView2 Posted April 17, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Hi @Clearwater🙂 Just something to be aware of; Cabin 10216 is also a connecting cabin. It connects to stateroom 10220. 🍹 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our experience, it's not as bad as some hotels (where it can sound like the people next door are practically in your room) but not as private as a regular cabin. We never book these cabins on purpose, but have been assigned twice (when booking a balcony guarantee). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantbob Posted April 18, 2023 #9 Share Posted April 18, 2023 This is our preferred location (forward on the Lido deck). You will not hear the pool, and you are far enough from the elevators that there is not much traffic. It will be pretty quiet. We like going back to the cabin for the night and being able to grab a snack or drink to take back to the cabin. I'm an earlier riser than my wife and I can easily get to the buffet area and coffee to read and watch the sun rise. Its really convenient.

firefly333 Posted April 18, 2023 #10 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I love lido deck. I think it's a awesome location. I never heard pool noise. There is a closed door out to the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted April 19, 2023 #11 Share Posted April 19, 2023 One thing great about this cabin and similar is that when you look over the balcony rail you should be looking at the water and not the Promenade deck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the deck plan map to see what’s above/below you and what is a deck or two below your balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
