Creator's Key Takeaways

We choose this because it's a bit of a compromise between kind of paying for an interior cabin, um, which is obviously the the the cheapest of the cabins and getting an an ocean view.

It does have this double curtains here. Um, and we have found that in the daytime if you close those and you want to get changed or whatever, you do have a bit of privacy.

The room is really nicely appointed. Beautiful carpet. It was well maintained throughout the whole of our cruise.

The bed was really comfortable and the linen was really nice on it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Bring magnets to hang items on the metal walls.
Keep the fridge door open to make it more efficient.
Use the phone for room service, housekeeping, or guest services to avoid queues.

YouTube Video Description

Our cabin tours are not just a look around the cabin, they go much further that that. To bring you the best idea of what to expect if you are in this, or a similar cabin on Carnival Encounter cruise ship, we also do a review of the features of the cabin and tell you what we liked and what didn't work too well for us. In this video, we give you a full tour and honest review of this unique stateroom located on Deck 8. Carnival classifies this as a 5A cabin — offering a window with a partially blocked view, but still letting in natural light and ocean glimpses. We’ll show you the layout, storage options, bathroom setup, and what kind of obstruction you can expect. Whether you're deciding if this cabin is worth the savings or just curious about what it’s really like, this walkthrough has you covered. You can also find lots more information on our website at www.robandali.net Thanks for supporting us and take care.
