How To Choose a Cruise Ship Cabin: What You Need to Know

We all know how much fun a Carnival cruise is. With more than 45 activities onboard , getting to the destination is a pretty great holiday in itself. But a big part of cruising is the cruise cabins. You probably won’t spend too much time in them, and why would you when there’s so much to do outside, but choosing the right cruise ship cabins before a holiday can help make that special getaway even more enjoyable. Here’s a quick guide to Carnival cruise cabins, how they work, what to choose, and what to look out for.

What are the different types of cabins on a cruise ship?

Comfy, roomy, well-appointed cruise cabins can make a big difference to your trip. Starting the day fresh, or winding down from a day full of adventure, is important. And at Carnival, we get that. We also get that everyone is different, so we have a few different types of cabins to cater for all needs and tastes. Cruise cabins are called staterooms, and our ships in Australia include:

• Interior cruise cabins. Also called inside cruise cabins, these are the most affordable way to cruise, without having to compromise anything.
• Oceanview cabins. Talk about room with a view. These cruise cabins give you the view of the ocean, and everything you see sailing to and from some amazing places.
• Balcony cabins. As they sound, balcony cabins come with your own personal balcony, giving you stunning views and allowing you to make the most of the sea breeze and natural light.
• Suites . The roomiest of all our cruise cabins, with extra space for everyone, and a balcony, too.
• Cloud 9 Spa. Our Cloud 9 Spa cruise cabins are in close proximity to the Cloud 9 Spa with bonus access to the spa’s facilities, and they continue that relaxed feel and mojo inside.

Are there single cabins on cruise ships?

What are the best Carnival cruise cabins?

As well as the amenities, size, and whether or not you want a balcony, there’s a few other things to consider when selecting the best cruise ship cabins for you and your family. One of the great things about cruise cabins, is they’re in different parts of the ship. So, choosing the best cruise ship cabins sometimes means working out where you think you’ll spend the most time, or what bits you value most about a cruise. Check out the deck plan of the ship to find all the cruise ship cabin options. They will fit into the following categories:

• Upper Decks. The Upper Decks are where a lot of the entertainment happens, and it’s where all the outer deck fun takes place.  
• Forward. The cruise ship cabins in the front part of the ship are perfect for those who love arts and entertainment. They’re close to the stage shows, the fitness centre, and the spa.
• Midship. As it sounds, the cruise ship cabins here are in the middle of the ship, which means you’re in the centre of everything.
• Aft. The Carnival cruise cabins in the aft, or the back, of the ship are close to the dining options, as well as some of the comedy and karaoke shows.

How many cabins are there on a cruise ship?

When it comes to the number of cruise cabins, each ship is different. The Carnival ships sailing from Australia are different sizes, meaning they have a different number of rooms. Based on double occupancy, Carnival Splendor can accommodate 3,012 guests and Carnival Luminosa can accommodate 2,260.

How big are cabins on a cruise ship?

• Flexible layout. A lot of Carnival’s cruise cabins can be configured a few ways to sleep up to four people, and in some cases five.
• Interconnecting rooms. Why not have the flexibility of two rooms connected by a door, for some extra space?
• Extra bathroom. Some of Carnival’s Suites come with an extra half bathroom.
• Accessibility. Carnival has modified cruise cabins for those with special needs.

What amenities are included on a cruise cabin?

We all know all the quality of the activities , entertainment , facilities, and fun onboard a Carnival cruise, but what can you expect in the way of amenities in the cruise cabins?  Whatever destination you’re cruising to , doing it in comfort is important. In every cruise cabin on a Carnival cruise, you’ll be treated to a range of perks that make every trip that little bit better, if that’s possible, including:

• Room steward
• Soft linen from our own collection
• Heaps of cupboard and drawer space
• Climate control
• Bathrobes if you want them
• In-room safe

A Guide to Interior Rooms on Carnival Cruises (With Photos)

• September 26, 2024
• No Comments

One of the best ways that you can save money on a cruise is by choosing an Inside or Interior room. They’re not the biggest, but if you don’t plan on spending much time in your room, then does that matter?

Carnival’s cruise ships have many things to see and do on board, so there’s a good chance you won’t use your room for much more than sleeping and getting ready. The cruise line also offers choices for Interior staterooms, and an interesting definition of what an ‘interior’ really means…

Read on to learn everything you need to know about Carnival’s Interior cabins.

What is an Interior Room on a Cruise?

Normally, an Interior stateroom is located on the inside of a cruise ship away from the sides, and has no windows. They’re typically the cheapest and smallest rooms, sleeping anywhere from two to five guests, depending on the cruise line.

The reason I say that they ‘normally’ are on the inside of the ship and don’t have windows is that Carnival does things a little differently. Most of their Interior rooms follow that rule, but they class some rooms that have an ocean view as being Interior, due to the limited view you actually get. More on that later!

How Big is an Interior Room on a Carnival Cruise?

The size of an Interior stateroom on a Carnival cruise ship depends on which ship you’re sailing on, and which category of Interior cabin you choose. You can expect a room that’s between 155 and 185 square feet (14.4 and 17.2 square metres).

The smaller Interior rooms don’t leave you a lot of floor space with a twin or double bed in there, but are some of the cheapest you can book on a modern cruise line.

How Many Beds Are In an Interior Room on Carnival?

Most Interior staterooms on Carnival cruise ships have two twin beds, which can be converted into a king-size bed on request. Some have one or two Pullman beds as well, to accommodate families – you can get a Carnival cruise interior room for four. Upper/Lower rooms have a single twin bed and either a Pullman or a sofa bed.

Suggested read: What is a Pullman bed on a cruise ship?

Carnival is very much a family cruise line, so there are a lot of choices for Interior rooms if you want to have the kids in the same room as you. Pullman beds aren’t the biggest and won’t be ideal for adults, though you may cope if you want to share a room with friends or teenage kids.

The Nine Different Types of Interior Rooms

When it comes to inside staterooms on Carnival cruise ships, each type has a category code. Although not every ship will have every category, there will still be lots of different accommodation types to consider.

Now, let’s take a look at some of these Interior rooms in more detai

An Interior Upper/Lower stateroom (category 1A) is one of the smallest rooms you can book at sea that isn’t a single cabin. It has a single twin bed, and either a Pullman bed or a sofa bed for the second guest. They sleep a maximum of two guests only.

Upper/Lower rooms are interesting. You can’t fit two people in the same bed, so they’re not ideal for couples unless you don’t mind sleeping separately. They’re good for travelling with a friend, as long as one of you doesn’t mind the smaller bed. If you’re a single parent with one child, this room type could be absolutely perfect.

Carnival Cruise Line doesn’t offer single rooms for solo travellers, but the Upper/Lower room is the nearest you’ll get. When the extra bed isn’t made up, it is essentially a single room.

Upper/Lower rooms are small, but again this is a Carnival ship, so you might not care if you’re spending all your time having fun. And the best thing about them is their low cost. You can get a really cheap cruise in one of these rooms – less than $350 per person for a week in the Caribbean.

Some Interior Upper/Lower rooms actually have small porthole windows. On most other cruise ships these would be classed as Ocean View, but Carnival classes any room with small portholes as Interior. So that’s a nice little bonus.

The room shown below is an Interior Upper/Lower, but it has windows and a sofa bed rather than a Pullman bed. The name is quite misleading, both in terms of the ‘Interior’ and the ‘Upper’!

What’s unusual about Interior Upper/Lower rooms is that while some have portholes and some don’t, they all have the same category code of 1A. If you want a room with portholes you can request one, but it’ll depend on availability and your ship.

Interior Upper/Lower rooms are available on all Carnival cruise ships except for the Excel Class ships (Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration, and Carnival Jubilee) and the Spirit Class ships (Carnival Spirit, Carnival Miracle, Carnival Legend and Carnival Pride).

Porthole Rooms

What is a Porthole Stateroom?

A Porthole stateroom (category code PT) on a Carnival cruise is still classed as an Interior room, despite having a (limited) view of the ocean. These rooms have twin round windows that are small, but do allow some natural light into the room.

The view you get is pretty limited, especially as the portholes are quite thick and you don’t get a good angle. But it’s something at least. You can at least peek out to see the ocean while you’re sailing and see if it’s sunny or raining.

Otherwise, the room is a fairly standard Interior layout. It has two twin beds that can be converted into a king, and some rooms have extra Pullmans or sofa beds for kids.

Porthole cabins are available on almost all Carnival ships. The exceptions are Spirit Class ships (Carnival Spirit, Carnival Miracle, Carnival Legend and Carnival Pride), and the newer Excel Class.

Obstructed View Rooms

What is an Obstructed View on a Carnival Cruise?

An obstructed view room on a Carnival cruise is one that has something blocking the view from the window or balcony of the room. It may be the lifeboats or, in the case of Interior cabins with a window, the walkway around the edge of the ship.

It feels strange talking about an Interior cabin with an obstructed view, but they do exist on Carnival ships. Most ships in the fleet have an option for an Interior with a Picture Window (Obstructed View – category 4J), which is a half-size window that looks out onto the observation deck. 

So you’ll see the ship’s railing, and maybe some passers-by. Make sure those curtains are closed when you’re getting ready! These rooms are available on all ships except for Spirit Class ships and the Mardi Gras.

In fact, the Mardi Gras doesn’t have any Interior rooms with an obstructed view at all. The Spirit Class ships (Carnival Spirit, Carnival Miracle, Carnival Legend and Carnival Pride) do, but these are called Interior with Window (obstructed view – category 4K). They have floor-to-ceiling windows, so you get a lot more natural light even with the obstruction.

People love Carnival’s 4K staterooms because the odd classification of Interior means that they’re pretty cheap, but with huge windows that let in lots of natural light, even though there is no view due to the lifeboat outside.

Premium Interior Rooms

What’s the difference between a premium interior and an interior room.

On Carnival cruises, a Premium Interior (code 4N or 4O) is essentially just a larger version of an Interior room. They’re about the same size as a Balcony cabin, but without the Balcony attached so give you extra floor space compared to a regular Interior. They’re only available on Mardi Gras.

If you aren’t too bothered about having a view, but would like a little more room to move, then a Premium Interior is a good middle ground. You’ll still save money compared to a Balcony, but you’ll feel less cramped.

Cloud 9 Spa Interior Rooms

What does Cloud 9 Spa Interior Room include?

Guests who book a stay in a Cloud 9 Spa Interior room (category 4S or 4T) enjoy a number of spa-related perks , including priority bookings for the Cloud 9 Spa and access to the Thermal Suites throughout the cruise.

These perks only apply to the first two guests in a Cloud 9 Spa room though. If you’ve booked a room with three adults, someone has to miss out. The Thermal Suites include dry heat chambers, steam chambers and a hydrotherapy pool, which you can use at any time during the cruise.

The priority bookings for the other Cloud 9 Spa services only apply on day one. You can book for any point during the cruise, but from 6pm on embarkation day those slots open up to all guests.

You do get discounts, complimentary yoga or Pilates classes, and some extra spa-branded bathrobes and slippers in your cabin, which are a nice touch. You can’t keep them, though!

Some Cloud 9 Spa Interior rooms do actually have a fairly large window. This overlooks a walkway rather than looking out over the ocean, but if you want some natural light, be sure to look out for these on the deckplans.

Here’s a full list of the perks you get with a Cloud 9 Spa room:

• Easy access to the spa
• Unlimited use of Thermal Suites – Sauna, steam room and hydrotherapy pool
• Complimentary scrub kit to use in Thermal Suites
• Priority spa appointments for reservations made by 6pm on embarkation day
• Discounted spa treatments
• Complimentary Pathway to Yoga or Pathway to Pilates fitness classes
• Complimentary Body Composition Analysis
• Elemis shampoo, shower gel and soap in room
• Spa-branded bathrobes and slippers for use during the cruise
• Relaxing decor in room

Cloud 9 Spa Interior rooms are available on Carnival’s Excel Class, Vista Class, Dream Class and Sunshine Class ships.

Family Harbor Interior Rooms

What is a Family Harbor Interior?

A Family Harbor Interior room (category code FA) is a fun stateroom for families that is decorated in classic American nautical style. It provides access to the Family Harbor lounge throughout your cruise, which includes a number of perks.

As well as breakfast and daily snacks in the lounge, you’ll also have access to board games, video games and family movies there too. As well as that, kids will eat free at most speciality restaurants on board.

You also get one free evening of Night Owls babysitting at the kids’ club, which is great for when parents want a little bit of quiet time.

Here’s the full list of Family Harbor perks:

• Family Harbor Lounge breakfast in the morning and snacks throughout the day
• A range of board games, video games and movies to enjoy
• Family activities hosted by the youth staff
• Kids eat free in most speciality restaurants
• One free evening of Night Owls babysitting service

Family Harbor Interior cabins can be booked on Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration, Carnival Jubilee, Carnival Venezia, Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon and Carnival Panorama.

Havana Interior Rooms

What is a Havana Interior?

A Havana Interior stateroom (category code HA) is decorated in a more luxurious Old Havana style. These allow guests to access the exclusive Havana Pool area, where you can relax in peace. For that reason, only guests aged 12 and over can stay in a Havana cabin.

They’re not really any more spacious than a standard Interior. You’re just getting a more premium version of the same room, with access to that tranquil pool away from the noisier family pools.

The Havana Pool area has an exclusive swimming pool, two large hot tubs, and a relaxation area with umbrellas, palm trees and comfy seating. There’s also the Havana Bar – this is open to all guests, not just those in Havana rooms. It has lively Latin music and Cuban-inspired coffees and cocktails, making it a really fun place to hang out.

Havana Interior cabins are available on Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration, Carnival Jubilee, Carnival Venezia, Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon and Carnival Panorama.

Pros and Cons of Interior Rooms

Now you know what to expect from all of the different inside rooms on Carnival cruise ships – including those that are labelled as Interior but actually have windows!

I love inside rooms and usually choose one myself . But, before you go ahead and pick one, let’s just make sure that an Interior room is the best room for you.

Here are the pros of booking an Interior cabin on a Carnival ship:

• You’ll save money, which you can use on on-board activities (or another cruise!).
• They’re great if you’re sensitive to light and want a lie-in.
• They can feel quite cosy.

The cons of an Interior cabin:

• You won’t get much floor space.
• If you do choose a Porthole or Window cabin, the view isn’t great anyway.
• You might miss natural light if you choose a true Interior cabin.

Should You Book An Interior Room on a Carnival Cruise?

There’s no right or wrong answer on which is the best room on a Carnival cruise, because it depends on the individual. You might feel claustrophobic in an Interior room, and if that’s the case then you definitely shouldn’t book one! It’s not worth making yourself uncomfortable just to save some money.

If you aren’t going to feel cramped, or plan on barely spending any awake time in your cabin at all, then an Interior Room could be a really good option. They can be pretty cheap, depending on the itinerary and ship, and because they’re a little cosier you might even sleep better.

However, don’t forget about the lack of natural light, which could be a dealbreaker. If you think that natural light is important in your bedroom, look out for Interior rooms with portholes or obstructed views, or consider paying a little more for an Ocean View stateroom.

If space is important to you, and you’ve got the budget to spare, then a Balcony could be a better option than a Carnival cruise interior room. They’re the best choice if you are prone to feeling cramped, because even a small balcony in the fresh air can feel very open and relaxing.

My Recommendation

The number one reason that people choose to book an Interior cabin on a cruise is to save money. For that reason, I don’t think there’s such a thing as a ‘bad’ Interior cabin on a Carnival cruise. 

Some of them are definitely more cramped than others, especially the Upper/Lower ones. But the cost savings could make the difference to your overall cruise holiday.

I would say that a Porthole cabin isn’t worth paying any extra for, compared to a standard Interior. Yes, you get a tiny bit of natural light, but the thickness of the walls means that the amount is limited, as is the view.

If you’ve got the money, I suggest looking at the Family Harbor, Cloud 9 or Havana Interiors. The Family Harbor is one of the best Carnival cruise rooms. It’s a great budget choice when cruising with kids, and the extra activities help to keep them entertained during quieter moments.
