NYthenNC Posted October 8, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2016 First time booking a Carnival cruise (haven't been on a cruise in over 10 years). Anyone know what the condition of room U161 or U163 looks like on the Elation? Was wondering if they upgraded the TV to flat screen and if the moldy smell applies to this room. My other options are on the Empress level but not sure if I want that level as it's right below the dining rooms and the lounge. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwo4life Posted October 8, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2016 On Fantasy class, I always pick Empress deck. The atrium bar is on that level and all other public areas are 1,2 or 3 decks up. I never use the elevator while on a Fantasy class. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYthenNC Posted October 8, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Do you prefer the front of the ship or the middle on the Empress deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkneern Posted October 8, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 8, 2016 We like empress deck too, usually mid ship. As for the smell??? havent been on elation in a few years. Fantasy class is my favorite of all after 30+ cruises!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarabonnie Posted October 9, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2016 We have stayed on the Empress deck on the Fantasy a couple of times. It is a great location and nwo4life is right, we never use the elevators either. Hoping to be on the Elation tomorrow, staying on the Empress deck again.

Rare Saint Greg Posted October 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) I've stayed on riviera, upper and empress on Elation. Empress is my favorite. I was close to the lobby bar and everything was within a couple decks so I never used the elevator. The one thing I would say about the area I was in was that I could hear things in the main lounge. It wasn't a big deal to me because I go to bed late but I once took a nap during a show and I could hear it. If you were mid you wouldn't have to worry about that. I was fwd...a few doors past the atrium elevators. Edited October 10, 2016 by Saint Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted October 10, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Were booked for u162! Following for info. Thinking about upgrading to empress level We had an issue in U154 on the Paradise and Elation. The laundry across the hall was fine, but around 4am we got the aroma of simmering garlic in our cabin. (Good thing we like garlic) Woke up hungry every morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted October 10, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 10, 2016 We have stayed on Empress, Upper and below on the Elation. We think upper was our favorite deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
