Cabin E129 · Carnival Elation

Cabin E129 is an Ocean View (category 6E1) on Carnival Elation, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin E129 is an Ocean View on Deck 7, the Empress deck, of Carnival Elation. You are midship. That is about as close to the ship's pivot point as you can get, and in a swell you will feel it less here than anywhere else on board. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

The lift bank sits on the deck above, roughly 4 cabins along the ship 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, 5 out of 10.

Of the 174 cabin positions on Deck 7, this is the 77th 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 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 quiet as anything on board, steadier in a swell than 98 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 93 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
