Carnival Elation Rooms

[NYthenNC]

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?

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.

Do you prefer the front of the ship or the middle on the Empress deck?

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!!

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.

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.

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.

We have stayed on Empress, Upper and below on the Elation. We think upper was our favorite deck.
