![]() ![]() They created a new “Family Harbor” to make cruising more comfortable for families with children 11 and younger. We won’t know for sure until cruises start on these two new ships, but renders and deck plans show a much smaller patio area with a small pool on the side of the boat (rather than off the back).Īvailable On: Celebration, Horizon, Mardi Gras, Panorama, and VistaĬarnival Cruise Line has never been shy about being a family cruise line, but they fully embraced this concept on their most recent ships. On the Mardi Gras and Celebration, the Havana area seems to have been downsized considerably. The Havana section also has interior rooms, which are a great way to save some money since you basically have access to your own private outdoor area very close by anyway. The downside is that these patios end in a walkway that goes around the Havana section of the ship, so you lose the privacy you may have in a traditional balcony room. It’s a peaceful place that is just yours. The room has a large glass door that opens onto a private patio, complete with lounger furniture and a swing. The most unique is the “ocean view staterooms with patio cabana.” The description sounds like it would just have a window, but it’s closer to a balcony room in reality. You can choose from a variety of rooms in the Havana section. This bar becomes a favorite for many Havana guests for pre-dinner and late-night drinks. The rooms also conveniently connect to the interior Havana Bar, which is open to all guests. On sea days when the rest of the ship is jam-packed, you’ll be relaxing in style with plenty of room in the pool and loungers, and a nice refreshing drink only steps away. ![]() The pool area has a beautiful infinity pool, two large hot tubs that overlook the ocean, upgraded loungers, and a dedicated outdoor bar. Guests staying in Havana sections have exclusive access to the Havana Pool area with prime placement on the back of the ship. Exclusive Havana Deck Area on the Carnival Panorama The Havana rooms are themed like an exclusive island resort, setting them apart from the rest of the ship. These premium rooms take advantage of the “Ship within a ship” philosophy, where certain guests have exclusive access to sections, basically their own private area. When Carnival introduced the Vista in 2015, they added a brand new section of rooms and a special exterior section called the Havana area. When combined with the lack of windows, they can feel a bit claustrophobic. On average, Carnival interior rooms are about 185 sq ft (roughly the equivalent of a 13′ x 14′ room). They line the interior of the ship and have no windows. On average, about 1/3 of the cabins on a Carnival cruise ship are inside cabins. Inside cabins are the basic and most affordable room you’ll find on a ship. While Carnival has some of the most spacious rooms at sea, they still can feel a little cramped especially when putting 3 or 4 people in a room. Carnival Cruise Line has several basic types depending on the ship. If you’re new to cruising, it’s important to note that cabins on cruise ships are going to feel very “cozy” compared to hotels. The first and more significant decision you’ll have to make is what type of cabin you want. Before picking your room, think about how YOU vacation and what’s important to YOU. Other people are just there to get some shuteye and couldn’t care less about the accommodations. Some people spend most of the day in their rooms relaxing, watching TV, reading, and napping. Instead, it’s more important to understand your options and what you want on your ideal cruise vacation. What makes it tricky is that the term “best” here is entirely subjective there is no one type of room that is “perfect” for everyone. Each cruise line has different accommodations available, so today we’ll look at the various cabins, or what they call staterooms, available on a Carnival cruise and how to find the one that’s best for you. With various layouts, views, sizes, and locations, the options are almost endless. Unlike a hotel that may have hundreds of seemingly identical rooms, cruise ships have many different types of cabins.
