Cabin M131 · Carnival Elation

Cabin M131 is an Ocean View (category 6C1) on Carnival Elation, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin M131 is an Ocean View on Deck 5, the Main deck, of Carnival Elation, and it sits midship. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. You are near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 9 out of 10 for steadiness, which puts it among the calmest rooms on the ship.

We give it 10 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 143 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 79th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

The Ocean View grade runs 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 steadier in a swell than 98 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.
