Cabin 8509 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 8509 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) (category 5A1) on Carnival Encounter, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 8509 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 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Uke's Bar Grill sits on the deck below, roughly 3 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. Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 135 cabin positions on Deck 8, this is the 78th 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,295 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 93 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 85 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
