Cabin 5332 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 5332 is an Ocean View (category 6B) on Carnival Encounter.

Cabin 5332 is an Ocean View on Deck 5 of Carnival Encounter, and it sits forward of midship. 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 far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan a stairwell is on the deck above, about 3 cabins 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 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Counting from the bow, it is the 54th 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 steadier in a swell than 93 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 85 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
