Cabin E298 · Carnival Elation

Cabin E298 is an Interior (category 4D1) on Carnival Elation, 149 to 185 square feet.

Cabin E298 is an Interior on Deck 7, the Empress deck, of Carnival Elation, far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. 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 23 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 2 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 174 cabin positions on Deck 7, this is the 2nd from forward. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

The Interior grade runs 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 as quiet as anything on board and further from the action than most. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
