Cabin G18 · Carnival Elation

Cabin G18 is an Interior (category 4I1) on Carnival Elation, 149 to 185 square feet.

Cabin G18 is an Interior on Deck 14, the Grand deck, of Carnival Elation, and it sits forward of midship. You are at the top of the passenger decks, so the pools and the open air are just up the stairs, and you feel the ship move more than anyone below you. You are far enough from the middle to notice a swell, but nowhere near the worst of it. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

Massage Rooms sits two decks down, roughly 1 cabin along the ship from you. A deck between you takes most of the noise out of it, and it is a short trip when you want it. 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 27 cabin positions on Deck 14, this is the 12th 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 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, steadier in a swell than 77 per cent of them and better placed for getting around than 93 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness.
