Cabin 8231 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 8231 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) (category 5A1) on Carnival Encounter, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 8231 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) on Deck 8 of Carnival Encounter, forward of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

Marquee Theatre sits two decks down, roughly 1 cabin 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. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 135 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 33rd from forward.

The Ocean View (Obstructed View) grade runs 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,295 cabins on board. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
