Cabin U48 · Carnival Elation

Cabin U48 is an Interior (category 4C1) on Carnival Elation, 149 to 185 square feet.

Cabin U48 is an Interior on Deck 6, the Upper deck, of Carnival Elation, far forward. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

A stairwell sits two decks up, roughly 5 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 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 5 out of 10.

Of the 154 cabin positions on Deck 6, this is the 26th 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 as quiet as anything on board and better placed for getting around than 93 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
