Cabin 8505 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 8505 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) (category 5A1) on Carnival Encounter, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 8505 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) on Deck 8 of Carnival Encounter. You are midship. This is the steady part of the ship. When it gets lumpy, midship is where you want to be. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

Uke's Bar Grill sits on the deck below, roughly 5 cabins 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. 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.

Of the 135 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 75th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

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 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.
