Cabin 8608 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 8608 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) (category 5A1) on Carnival Encounter, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin 8608 is an Ocean View (Obstructed View) on Deck 8 of Carnival Encounter, aft of midship. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan Noosa is on the deck below, about 8 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 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Counting from the bow, it is the 94th 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.

Against the rest of the ship it is steadier in a swell than 93 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
