Cabin 5234 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 5234 is an Ocean View (category 6A1) on Carnival Encounter, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 5234 is an Ocean View on Deck 5 of Carnival Encounter, and it sits far forward. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan a stairwell is two decks up, about 1 cabin along from you. You will still walk to the stairs or the lift to reach it, so treat it as a landmark rather than a neighbour. We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 22nd cabin position of 58 along Deck 5.

An Ocean View gives you 158-243 square feet. You get daylight and a sense of where you are without paying balcony money. The window does not open, so it is the view but not the air.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers.
