Cabin R35 · Carnival Elation

Cabin R35 is an Ocean View (category 6A1) on Carnival Elation, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin R35 is an Ocean View on Deck 4, the Riviera deck, of Carnival Elation. You are far forward. 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. Out at this end you feel the sea. In rough water the movement here is noticeably stronger. Right up in the bow, a head sea can send a shudder through the hull that midship guests never feel at all. We score it 6 out of 10 for steadiness.

We give it 10 out of 10 for quiet, which is about as peaceful as this ship gets. For getting about it is 4 out of 10, so add a few minutes to everywhere you go.

Of the 141 cabin positions on Deck 4, this is the 25th 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 as quiet as anything on board and better placed for getting around than 82 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
