Cabin U144 · Carnival Elation

Cabin U144 is an Ocean View (category 6D1) on Carnival Elation, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin U144 is an Ocean View on Deck 6, the Upper deck, of Carnival Elation, aft 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.

The lift bank sits two decks up, 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 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 101st from forward.

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 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.
