Cabin 12749 · Carnival Encounter

Cabin 12749 is a Porthole (category PT1) on Carnival Encounter, 170 square feet.

Cabin 12749 is a Porthole on Deck 12 of Carnival Encounter, well aft. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. This far aft you may also pick up a hum from the propellers, usually at night when the ship is making speed between ports. Some people never notice it, others find it soothing, a few cannot ignore it. We score it 1 out of 10 for steadiness. If you are at all prone to seasickness, look elsewhere.

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 147 cabin positions on Deck 12, this is the 146th from forward. That puts you right at the aft end of the run, where the corridor stops and the footfall dies away.

The Porthole grade runs 170 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 livelier in a swell than most of them and better placed for getting around than 85 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who feels motion badly.
