Cabin E68 · Carnival Elation

Cabin E68 is an Ocean View (category 6E1) on Carnival Elation, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin E68 is an Ocean View on Deck 7, the Empress deck, of Carnival Elation. You are forward 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 Fun Shops is on the deck above, about 6 cabins along 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 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 40th 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, 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.
