Cabin 8306 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 8306 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) (category 5A1) on Carnival Encounter, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 8306 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) on Deck 8 of Carnival Encounter, and it sits forward of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Theatre Marquee is on the deck below, about 9 cabins along 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 it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 39th 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.
