Cabin 10246 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 10246 is a Balcony (category 8A1) on Carnival Encounter, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 10246 is a Balcony on Deck 10 of Carnival Encounter. You are far forward. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. 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 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

We give it 9 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about, 6 out of 10.

Of the 152 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 31st from forward.

The Balcony grade runs 168-205 square feet. The balcony adds another 35-46 on top of that. A balcony buys you outside space of your own and, on sea days, somewhere to sit that is not the pool deck. It is the step up most people make, and the one they find hardest to give up again.

Against the rest of the ship it is better placed for getting around than 94 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers.
