Cabin R29 · Carnival Elation

Cabin R29 is a Porthole (category PT1) on Carnival Elation, 170 square feet.

Cabin R29 is a Porthole on Deck 4, the Riviera deck, of Carnival Elation, and it sits far forward. 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. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. 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 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

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 20th cabin position of 141 along Deck 4.

A Porthole gives you 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 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.
