Cabin 5240 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 5240 is an Interior (category 4A1) on Carnival Encounter, 149 to 185 square feet.

Cabin 5240 is an Interior on Deck 5 of Carnival Encounter, 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 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

Marquee Theatre sits on the deck above, roughly 8 cabins along the ship from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Of the 58 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 26th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

The Interior grade runs 149-185 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

Against the rest of the ship it is better placed for getting around than 94 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
