Cabin 12254 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 12254 is a Balcony (category 8C1) on Carnival Encounter, 168 to 205 square feet plus a private balcony of 35 to 46 square feet.

Cabin 12254 is a Balcony on Deck 12 of Carnival Encounter, and it sits far forward. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. We score it 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

Quiet comes out at 8 out of 10, roughly par for this ship. For getting about, 7 out of 10.

Of the 147 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 28th 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 noisier than three quarters of the 1,295 cabins on board and as well placed for getting around as any cabin aboard. It suits light sleepers.
