Cabin U142 · Carnival Elation

Cabin U142 is an Interior (category 4D1) on Carnival Elation, 149 to 185 square feet.

Cabin U142 is an Interior on Deck 6, the Upper deck, of Carnival Elation, aft of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

The lift bank sits two decks up, roughly 3 cabins 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 9 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 154 cabin positions on Deck 6, this is the 99th from forward.

The Interior grade runs 149-185 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,120 cabins 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.
