Cabin E22 · Carnival Elation

Cabin E22 is an Ocean View (category 6D1) on Carnival Elation, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin E22 is an Ocean View on Deck 7, the Empress deck, of Carnival Elation, and it sits far forward. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

A stairwell sits on the deck above, roughly 14 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 it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 174 cabin positions on Deck 7, this is the 13th from forward.

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. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
