Cabin M210 · Carnival Elation

Cabin M210 is an Ocean View (category 6B) on Carnival Elation.

Cabin M210 is an Ocean View on Deck 5, the Main deck, of Carnival Elation, well aft. You are near the bottom of the passenger decks, which is the steadiest place to be, though it is a fair climb to the open air. This is a long way from the pivot, so a swell reaches you before it reaches anyone midship. 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 6 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 it is 3 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 143 cabin positions on Deck 5, this is the 123rd from forward.

The Ocean View grade runs 158-243 square feet. You get daylight and a sense of where you are without paying balcony money. The window does not open, so it is the view but not the air.

Against the rest of the ship it is noisier than three quarters of the 1,120 cabins on board. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
