CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE
Personal reply from Rahul
How these are counted: Specifications are per-ship. Capacity is stated as guests (lower berths) — the fact sheet's own words. Lower berths is the double-occupancy-equivalent measure.
The ship
Carnival Encounter sails year-round from Brisbane. She is one of the two former P&O Australia ships in the Carnival fleet, and a sister to Carnival Adventure.
On board: Speedway Splash waterslides, the Edge Adventure Park, four pools including a dedicated family pool, Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse and the Carnival Topside Grill, the adult-only Oasis Retreat, and late-night child minding.
