Cabin 8217 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 8217 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) (category 5A1) on Carnival Encounter, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 8217 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) on Deck 8 of Carnival Encounter, far forward. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan a stairwell is on the deck below, about 2 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 it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 22nd cabin position of 135 along Deck 8.

An Ocean View (Obstructed 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.

It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
