Cabin U129 · Carnival Elation

Cabin U129 is an Ocean View (category 6D1) on Carnival Elation, 158 to 243 square feet.

Cabin U129 is an Ocean View on Deck 6, the Upper deck, of Carnival Elation, and it sits aft of midship. You will feel a bit more motion than a midship cabin. Nothing dramatic. We score it 8 out of 10 for steadiness.

On the ship's plan the lift bank is two decks up, about 7 cabins along from you. You will still walk to the stairs or the lift to reach it, so treat it as a landmark rather than a neighbour. We give it 10 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.

Counting from the bow, it is the 91st cabin position of 154 along Deck 6. You are about as central as the corridor gets, so it is a similar walk whichever way you turn out of your door.

An Ocean View gives you 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 steadier in a swell than 77 per cent of them. It suits light sleepers and travellers prone to seasickness. It is a poor fit for anyone who finds long corridors and stairs hard work.
