Cabin G2 · Carnival Elation

Cabin G2 is a Scenic Ocean View (category 6J1) on Carnival Elation, 220 to 230 square feet.

Cabin G2 is a Scenic Ocean View on Deck 14, the Grand deck, of Carnival Elation, and it sits forward of midship. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 7 out of 10 for steadiness.

The lift bank sits on the deck above, roughly 1 cabin 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 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 27 cabin positions on Deck 14, this is the 1st from forward. That puts you right at the forward end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

The Scenic Ocean View grade runs 220-230 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.
