Cabin E157 · Carnival Elation

Cabin E157 is an Interior (category 4E1) on Carnival Elation, 149 to 185 square feet.

Cabin E157 is an Interior on Deck 7, the Empress deck, of Carnival Elation, and it sits 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 the lift bank is on the deck above, about 4 cabins 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 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 100th cabin position of 174 along Deck 7. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

An Interior gives you 149-185 square feet. No window, which makes it the darkest and cheapest room on board and, for a lot of people, the best sleep they get all week. If waking to daylight matters to you, an ocean view is the smallest step up.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 1,120 cabins on board, steadier in a swell than 77 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 82 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.
