Cabin E38 · Carnival Elation

Cabin E38 is an Ocean View (category 6D1) on Carnival Elation, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin E38 is an Ocean View on Deck 7, the Empress deck, of Carnival Elation. You are far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan a stairwell is on the deck above, about 7 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 10 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 22nd cabin position of 174 along Deck 7.

An Ocean 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 as quiet as anything on board and better placed for getting around than 82 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
