Cabin E4 · Carnival Paradise

Cabin E4 is a Porthole (category PT1) on Carnival Paradise, 170 square feet.

Cabin E4 is a Porthole on Deck 7, the Empress deck, of Carnival Paradise. You are far forward. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. 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 4 out of 10 for steadiness.

Normandie Main Lounge sits two decks up, roughly 4 cabins along the ship from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. We give it 9 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 163 cabin positions on Deck 7, this is the 3rd from forward. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

The Porthole grade runs 170 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 livelier in a swell than most of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly and anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
