Creator's Key Takeaways

This obstructed view for a weekend, this was fine. It let in enough light for us to let us know that we had a window

We've been very happy in here for a Um, and uh, there's not really a lot more to say about it

It was really well located for us. This cabin is actually we did a thermal suite package on this and we just go straight up to deck 15 from those forward lifts and we are there at the Cloud9 spa

The beds and the pillows have been comfortable. We've found no real difference between the cabins. They've all been equally as comfortable

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring your own hair dryer and straightening tongs, as irons and kettles are confiscated
Keep the cool box door open to circulate air and keep drinks colder

#carnivalcruiseline #carnivalcruiselineau #carnivalencounter #cabinreview #cabintour Join us onboard the Carnival Encounter cruise ship as we take you inside our Forward Obstructed Oceanview Cabin 8221. Most obstructed oceanview cabins on Carnival Encounter and Carnival Adventure are located midship, but this one sits right up at the front, and that makes the experience quite different. In this tour and review, we show you exactly what the view is like, how much the obstruction matters, what the cabin window looks like from the outside deck, how accessible it is to passers‑by, and what it’s really like staying in this forward location. We walk through the layout, storage, bathroom, window, and overall comfort of Cabin 8221, and share our honest thoughts after spending time in this forward obstructed oceanview cabin. If you’re booked in an obstructed oceanview or thinking about choosing one, this video will help you know exactly what to expect.
