Cabin V28 · Carnival Elation

Cabin V28 is an Interior (category 4I1) on Carnival Elation, 149 to 185 square feet.

Cabin V28 is an Interior on Deck 11, the Verandah deck, of Carnival Elation, and it sits far forward. You are well out towards the end of the hull, which is where pitching is felt hardest. 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 5 out of 10 for steadiness.

Studio Fitness sits on the deck above, roughly 4 cabins 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 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 20 cabin positions on Deck 11, this is the 13th 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 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.
