Cabin 10420 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 10420 is a Balcony (category EB1) on Carnival Encounter, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 10420 is a Balcony on Deck 10 of Carnival Encounter, midship. You are near the middle of the hull, where the ship does the least moving. In rough water that matters more than most people expect. We score it 8 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, 5 out of 10.

Of the 152 cabin positions on Deck 10, this is the 75th from forward. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

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 steadier in a swell than 93 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 85 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
