Cabin 10519 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 10519 is a Balcony (category 8B) on Carnival Encounter.

Cabin 10519 is a Balcony on Deck 10 of Carnival Encounter, and it sits midship. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 2 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 93rd cabin position of 152 along Deck 10. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

A Balcony gives you 168-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-46 on top of that. A balcony buys you outside space of your own and, on sea days, somewhere to sit that is not the pool deck. It is the step up most people make, and the one they find hardest to give up again.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board, steadier in a swell than 93 per cent of them and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
