Cabin 8423 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 8423 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) (category 5A1) on Carnival Encounter, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 8423 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) on Deck 8 of Carnival Encounter. You are midship. You are near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is on the deck below, about 1 cabin 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 10 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 70th cabin position of 135 along Deck 8. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

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.

Against the rest of the ship it is as quiet as anything on board and as steady in a swell as any cabin on the ship. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
