Carnival Cruise Balcony Rooms Guide: Choosing the Perfect Ocean View

Embarking on a Carnival Cruise is an experience like no other, and one of the most sought-after accommodations on these majestic ships is the balcony room.

But with so many options available, how do you choose the perfect one for your voyage?

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve deep into the world of Carnival Cruise Balcony Rooms, exploring the various types, their unique features, and offering insights to help you make an informed decision.

Whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or planning your first voyage, this article will illuminate the nuances of balcony rooms, ensuring you get the most out of your oceanic adventure.

Table of Contents

What is a Carnival Cruise Balcony Rooms?

A balcony on Carnival is more than just an outdoor space; it’s a gateway to the vast ocean and the world beyond.

Imagine waking up to the gentle sound of waves and the first rays of the sun, all from the comfort of your private haven.

These rooms are slightly larger than ocean view cabins, offering both a roomy interior and the added luxury of the balcony floorspace.

Most balcony rooms can accommodate up to four guests, but with the option to add a cot or trundle bed, you can even fit a fifth guest, though it might be a snug fit.

Carnival Cruise Balcony Rooms

How much more is a Balcony Room on a Carnival cruise?

The allure of a balcony room does come with a price. Typically, a balcony stateroom on Carnival might cost between $50 to $300 more per night than an Ocean View room.

For instance, on a seven-night Caribbean cruise, you might find balcony rooms priced at $909 per person, while an Ocean View room could be around $799.

The exact price can vary based on several factors, including the cruise’s itinerary and the time of year.

Obstructed View Balcony Rooms

What is an obstructed view on a carnival balcony.

An obstructed view balcony room might have a lifeboat or some other ship equipment blocking a portion of the view.

While Carnival has limited obstructed view balcony staterooms, the ones that do exist come at a discounted price.

So, if you’re someone who values the outdoor space more than a perfect view, this could be a budget-friendly option for you.

Junior Balcony Rooms

What is a junior balcony.

Think of a Junior Balcony as a cozy version of the standard balcony room. While the balcony size remains the same, the interior is slightly smaller. These rooms are ideal for couples or solo travelers and are exclusively available on Carnival’s Excel Class ships.

Cove Balcony Rooms

What’s the difference between a balcony and cove balcony.

A Cove Balcony offers a more intimate and enclosed experience. Unlike the open design of standard balconies, cove balconies feel like a large open window to the sea.

They’re available on Excel Class, Vista Class, and Dream Class ships.

Extended Balcony Rooms

What is an extended balcony.

An Extended Balcony room offers the same indoor space as a standard balcony room but boasts a more spacious balcony. The extra space can range from a mere 2 square feet to a generous 40 square feet.

Which is better – Forward-View or Aft-View?

While forward-view balconies offer panoramic vistas, most travelers prefer aft-view rooms for the mesmerizing views of the ship’s wake. Plus, forward-view balconies can be quite windy when the ship is in motion.

Premium Balcony Rooms

What’s the difference between a balcony and a premium balcony.

A Premium Balcony room is all about luxury and space. Both the room and the balcony are more spacious than standard balcony rooms.

What is a Premium Vista Balcony?

Located at the ship’s aft, a Premium Vista Balcony wraps around the ship’s corner, offering expansive views of both the ship’s side and rear.

Cloud 9 Spa Balcony Rooms

What does a cloud 9 spa balcony include.

A Cloud 9 Spa Balcony room is the epitome of relaxation. Guests enjoy priority spa appointments, unlimited access to the Thermal Suite, spa discounts, and other exclusive perks like a complimentary body composition analysis.

Family Harbor Balcony Rooms

What is a family harbor balcony.

Tailored for families, these rooms come with a nautical decor and offer access to the Family Harbor Lounge, a haven for families to enjoy breakfast, afternoon snacks, and a range of entertainment options.

Havana Balcony Rooms

What is a havana balcony.

A Havana Balcony room is a blend of luxury and Cuban charm. Guests have exclusive access to the Havana pool and bar, ensuring a unique cruising experience.

Carnival’s Best & Worst Balcony Rooms

The themed staterooms, such as Cloud 9, Family Harbor, and Havana, are among the best balcony rooms on Carnival cruises . However, obstructed view rooms on certain ships might not offer the best value for everyone.

Pros and Cons of Balcony Rooms

Pros: Unbeatable sea views, private outdoor space, and a fresh sea breeze anytime you want.

Cons: Higher cost, potential lack of privacy, and safety concerns for young children.

Should You Book A Balcony Room on a Carnival Cruise?

While a balcony room offers a unique experience, it’s essential to consider how much time you’ll spend in your room. If you’re the adventurous type who plans to explore the ship and its amenities, an Ocean View room might be a better value.

However, if you cherish private moments with the ocean, watching sunrises and sunsets, or simply enjoying the sea breeze from the comfort of your room, then a balcony room is undoubtedly worth the investment.

Ultimately, the choice is yours, and whatever you decide, Carnival Cruise promises an unforgettable journey.

Everything you want to know about cabins and suites on Carnival Cruise Line ships

Gene Sloan

Picking a cabin on a Carnival Cruise Line ship isn't nearly as complicated as picking a cabin on, say, a Royal Caribbean or a Celebrity Cruises ship.

Unlike some of its biggest competitors, Carnival isn't known for a huge range of cabin categories on its vessels.

That means that when you're trying to find the best Carnival cruise ship cabin for you, you'll have an easier time than you will when booking with some other lines.

The vast majority of the accommodations on Carnival ships fall into one of three broad buckets: Windowless "inside" cabins, oceanview cabins and balcony cabins.

For more cruise guides, news and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

You'll find relatively few suites on Carnival ships. Each of the vessels in Carnival's recent Vista-class series, for instance, offer fewer than 75 suites. Each of the line's earlier Conquest-class ships have around 50 suites. The oldest Fantasy-class vessels have 28 suites and 26 junior suites.

This is in part due to Carnival's focus on offering an affordable product. The typical Carnival customer isn't in the market for a super fancy, high-priced suite.

Related: The ultimate guide to Carnival Cruise Line

That said, Carnival has seen the success that some of its competitors have had with a bigger range of upscale accommodations, and it's eyeing more suites for future vessels. The line's two newest ships, Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration , each have 180 suites — more than twice the number found on the vessels Carnival was unveiling a few years ago.

Note that Carnival's two oldest ships — those that are part of the 1990s-built Fantasy Class — have relatively few balcony cabins by today's standards. (After retrofitting, they have around 150 balcony cabins, out of a total of more than 1,000 cabins in all.) In part because of this, Carnival has been phasing Fantasy-class ships out of its fleet in recent years.

A Carnival Cruise Line cabin primer

carnival cruise room balcony

As is typical for many cruise ships, Carnival vessels offer cabins in four broad categories: Windowless "inside" cabins, oceanview cabins, balcony cabins and suites.

On newer Carnival ships, a significant portion of cabins are balcony cabins — the rooms everyone wants these days. But the ratio of balcony cabins to non-balcony cabins on Carnival's newer ships isn't nearly as high as on the newer ships of some rival lines such as Royal Caribbean.

About 44% of the 2,004 cabins on Carnival's Carnival Panorama (launched in 2019) are balcony cabins, for instance. Compare that to the 65% of cabins on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas (launched in 2018) that are balcony cabins.

As noted above, Carnival ships also have fewer suites than you'll find on the ships of some of its rival lines. By contrast, the line's newer ships have a higher percentage of inside cabins than you'll find on the newer ships of some rival lines.

Here's a breakdown of the broad cabin categories on Carnival Panorama, which is typical of the line's newer ships:

Inside cabins: 789 (39%) Oceanview cabins: 254 (13%) Balcony cabins: 891 (44%) Suites: 70 (3%)

On older Carnival ships (and, in general, all older cruise ships), there are far fewer balcony cabins. Fewer than 10% of cabins on the line's two oldest vessels, Carnival Paradise and Carnival Elation, are balcony cabins. The two ships date to 1998.

On both Carnival Paradise and Carnival Elation, inside cabins and ocean-view cabins make up the majority (nearly 90%) of accommodations, and suites account for fewer than 10% of rooms. Here is the breakdown for Carnival Paradise:

Inside cabins: 420 (40%) Oceanview cabins: 466 (44%) Balcony cabins: 98 (9%) Suites: 78 (7%)

The takeaway here is that you'll have a tougher time locking down a balcony cabin on an older Carnival ship than on a newer vessel. If you're planning a cruise on one of the line's older vessels and a balcony cabin is a must, you'll want to book early to make sure you get one.

You'll also want to book early if you're aiming for a suite — particularly if you want one of the best suites on a Carnival ship. An old saw in the cruise industry is that "ships sell from the top and the bottom." That is, the first cabins on any vessel to sell out are the most expensive cabins, which are the suites, and the least expensive cabins, which typically are the inside cabins. The "middle" sells last.

Design-wise, Carnival's cabins and suites are fairly basic and comfortable, if not super stylish. Cabins on recently unveiled or overhauled vessels mostly have a soothing palette of creams and blues. Cabinetry in these rooms is a crisp and clean faux wood. Cabin bathrooms are neutral.

One exception is the new Carnival Venezia , which has a darker (faux) wood finish to furniture in cabins that ties into the ship's Italy theme.

Inside cabins on Carnival Cruise Line ships

Inside cabins are the cabins you stay in when you're on a tight budget. On any Carnival ship, they almost always are the least-expensive option when you're booking a cabin, and you often can save considerable money by booking an inside cabin versus an ocean-view or higher-level cabin.

What you'll give up, of course, is that ocean view. Your room will have four walls and no windows offering a glimpse of the outside world.

On many cruise ships, inside cabins are smaller than oceanview and balcony cabins. But on Carnival ships, that's not always the case. On Carnival Panorama, for instance, most inside cabins measure 185 square feet. That's the same size as the interior area of some oceanview and most balcony cabins on the ship (not including the extra square footage from the balcony).

Related: Why inside cabins aren't as bad as you think

Inside cabins on Royal Caribbean's new Wonder of the Seas , by contrast, measure just 149 square feet — quite a bit less than the inside cabins on Carnival Panorama.

Note that, in a quirk of the cabin categorization system at Carnival, there are a few inside cabins on some Carnival ships that do, indeed, have a view to the outside world. These cabins either have an obstructed view (often due to lifeboats) or a porthole, such that the view isn't all that great. For that reason, the line classifies them as inside cabins.

Oceanview cabins on Carnival Cruise Line ships

With an oceanview cabin, you get a window looking out to the sea but not an attached balcony where you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air.

Carnival's newer ships have relatively few such cabins, as generally cabins that face outwards now are built with balconies. But older Carnival ships are loaded with oceanview cabins.

Oceanview cabins on Carnival ships can sometimes be bigger than inside cabins and even bigger than balcony cabins (when comparing their interior space). On Carnival Panorama, some oceanview cabins measure 185 square feet — the same as inside cabins. But there also are bigger "standard" oceanview cabins that measure 220 square feet and "deluxe" oceanview cabins that measure 230 square feet.

Balcony cabins on Carnival Cruise Line ships

Balcony cabins are what everyone wants these days, and Carnival is building its newest ships with far more of them than in the past. As noted above, about 44% of the cabins Carnival Panorama are balcony cabins. But that percentage jumped to 56% on the newer Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration. It will be the same on Carnival Jubilee, a sister vessel to Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration coming out in December 2023.

The typical Carnival balcony cabin has a contemporary look, with clean lines and relatively minimalist furniture. It typically features twin beds that can be converted into a king bed, a built-in desk area and a sofa that often pulls out into an additional bed. Some rooms have pull-down bunks to create more sleeping spaces. Balcony cabins typically measure around 185 square feet, not including the veranda area, which often measures 35 square feet.

Note that on some Carnival ships, specific categories of balcony cabins have larger balconies than most. These are wonderful for sitting out and watching the waves. Often these rooms are at the back of the ships overlooking the wake.

For instance, Carnival Panorama has "Family Harbor" and "Havana" balcony cabins with 60-square-foot balconies overlooking the wake. That's 71% more balcony space than the typical balcony cabin on the ship.

Carnival Panorama also has "Havana Cabana" balcony cabins with even bigger, 100-square-foot balconies.

Suites on Carnival Cruise Line ships

As noted above, Carnival ships generally don't offer a lot of suites. For the most part, the suites they have are relatively modest in size and amenities compared to the suites at some of the line's rivals.

The biggest suites on Carnival Panorama, the ship's eight Grand Suites, have 345 square feet of interior space, plus an 85-square-foot balcony. Contrast that to the biggest suites on Royal Caribbean ships, which can measure more than 1,500 square feet.

Suites on Carnival ships also haven't traditionally come with butlers and access to private concierge lounges like the suites on many other vessels.

Still, some of that has begun to change with the debut of Carnival's new Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration. Carnival went big with the suites on the groundbreaking, 5,282-passenger vessels — the biggest Carnival ships ever.

Unveiled in 2021 and 2022, respectively, Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration each feature two sprawling Presidential Suites that measure 1,120 square feet — bigger than any other accommodations in the line's fleet.

carnival cruise room balcony

Located at the top of each ship on Deck 17, the complexes have separate living and sleeping areas and the most expansive balconies in the Carnival fleet — all unusual-for-Carnival features. Measuring more than 600 square feet, the balconies also offer a lounging area with a large sunbed and a private outdoor hot tub and shower.

The Presidential Suites are among 180 suites you will find on Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration, the most ever for a Carnival ship.

The two ships have 11 different categories of suites in all, four of which are part of a new premium "Excel" category of suites with extra amenities and access to a new-for-the-line, resort-style enclave at the top of the ships called Loft 19.

In addition to the two Presidential Suites, the Excel suites include a dozen 861-square-foot Excel Aft Suites that overlook the back of each ship and boast separate living rooms and bedrooms and large wraparound balconies with hot tubs.

Slightly smaller are a dozen 710-square-foot Excel Corner Suites offering separate sleeping and lounging areas and wraparound balconies. A step down are six smaller Excel Suites that measure 614 square feet.

Every one of the suites in those categories is bigger than any suite found on Carnival Panorama.

Passengers staying in all four categories of Excel suites on Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration have access to a dedicated concierge phone line and guaranteed dining times at the extra-charge specialty restaurants found on the ships (except for Japanese eatery Bonsai Teppanyaki and the Chef's Table). Other upgraded amenities for Excel suite passengers include complimentary Bottomless Bubbles soda packages, room service and laundry service, sparkling wine upon arrival and upgraded bathroom toiletries.

The new Loft 19 enclave found on both Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration offers full bar service, a private pool surrounded by sun loungers and cabanas available for rent.

Bottom Line

Fun-focused Carnival offers a solid mix of cabins on its vessels for a range of price points. If you're looking for an inexpensive vacation option, the inside cabins on Carnival ships are more spacious than the inside cabins you'll find on the ships of some rival lines. Oceanview cabins on Carnival ships also can be larger than normal for the category. Balcony cabins on Carnival ships hold their own in size against most competitors. Just don't expect a huge number of suites when sailing with Carnival.

That’s why I’m excited to share with you all the information I’ve gathered about Carnival’s balcony rooms – from the different types available to the pros and cons of booking one.

Carnival offers an impressive 18 different types of balcony rooms on their ships, each with their own unique features and price points. But with so many options, it can be overwhelming to decide which one is right for you. That’s why in this article, I’ll break down the various types of balcony rooms and help you weigh the pros and cons of booking one.

Plus, I’ll share tips on how to find the best deals and promotions for your Carnival cruise, as well as recommendations for booking your balcony room. So whether you’re a seasoned cruiser or considering a cruise for the first time, keep reading to discover all the options and benefits of Carnival’s balcony rooms.

  • Carnival offers 18 different types of balcony rooms, including obstructed view, junior, cove, extended, premium, premium vista, Cloud 9 spa, family harbor, and Havana balcony rooms.
  • Balcony rooms offer better views and more floor space than inside or ocean view rooms, but they can be more expensive and may not be worth it if you don’t plan on spending much time in your room.
  • Themed balcony rooms like family harbor and Havana are great choices for families with kids, while suites could be a better choice for more space and extra perks.
  • Carnival’s balcony rooms cost $50-$300 more per night than oceanview rooms, with prices varying depending on the category and ship location. The Havana balcony rooms are only available on Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon, and Carnival Panorama.

Types of Balcony Rooms

I learned that Carnival Cruises offers 18 different types of balcony rooms, including obstructed view, junior, cove, extended, premium, premium vista, Cloud 9 Spa, Family Harbor, and Havana balcony staterooms. Each type of balcony room has its own unique amenities, such as priority spa appointments and access to the Thermal Suite for Cloud 9 Spa Balcony staterooms, and exclusive access to the Havana Pool and bar for Havana Balcony rooms. Compared to other cruise lines, Carnival offers a wide range of balcony room options, giving passengers the opportunity to choose a room that fits their specific needs and preferences.

Balcony rooms on Carnival are generally slightly larger than oceanview cabins and can sleep up to four guests, with the option to add a cot or trundle bed for a fifth guest. The balconies themselves offer better views and more floor space than Inside or Ocean View rooms, making them a popular choice for those who want to enjoy the fresh sea air and ocean scenery.

However, balcony rooms can be more expensive and may not be worth it if you don’t plan on spending much time in your room. It’s important to consider your budget and preferences when deciding whether a balcony room is the right choice for you.

Pros and Cons

Balcony staterooms offer stunning ocean views, fresh sea air, and more floor space than Inside or Ocean View rooms, but they can also be more expensive and less private. Despite the higher cost, the benefits of having a balcony room cannot be overstated. Being able to enjoy the ocean breeze from the comfort of your own room is a luxury that can enhance your cruise experience.

Additionally, balcony rooms provide more natural light, which can make the room feel more spacious and inviting. However, before booking a balcony room, it’s important to consider safety factors. Balconies can be dangerous for young children and require extra supervision. It’s also important to note that not all balcony rooms offer complete privacy, so it’s important to research the specific room type before booking.

Overall, the benefits of having a balcony room outweigh the potential drawbacks, but it’s important to make an informed decision based on personal preferences and safety considerations.

Suites vs. Balcony Rooms

Comparing suites to balcony rooms, it’s important to consider the extra space and amenities that come with a suite. Suites on Carnival ships offer more square footage, separate living areas, and larger balconies. They also come with additional perks like priority boarding, access to exclusive lounges, and complimentary drinks.

However, suites can be significantly more expensive than balcony rooms, so it’s important to weigh the cost against the extra space and amenities.

On the other hand, balcony rooms still offer many amenities and benefits, such as a view of the ocean and fresh sea air. They are usually slightly larger than oceanview cabins and can accommodate up to four guests. Balcony rooms also offer better views and more floor space than Inside or Ocean View rooms.

While they may not offer the same level of luxury as suites, balcony rooms can still be a great option for those looking for a comfortable and enjoyable cruise experience without breaking the bank. Ultimately, the choice between a suite and a balcony room comes down to personal preference and budget.

Themed Balcony Rooms

Exploring themed balcony rooms can add an extra layer of excitement to your Carnival cruise vacation. Carnival offers two types of themed balcony rooms: Havana and Family Harbor.

The Havana Balcony rooms offer exclusive access to the Havana Pool and bar, and are only available on Vista-class ships. These rooms come with a tropical decor and vibrant colors, immersing you in the Cuban vibe. They’re a great choice for those looking for a unique and lively experience.

On the other hand, the Family Harbor Balcony rooms are aimed at families with access to the Family Harbor Lounge. These rooms, only available on Vista-class ships, offer a nautical decor with a cozy and family-friendly atmosphere. They’re great for families traveling with kids, offering a range of amenities like board games and movies.

Booking a themed balcony room can add an extra touch of excitement to your cruise, whether you choose the vibrant Havana or the cozy and family-friendly Family Harbor.

Cost and Availability

I’ve found that the price difference between an ocean view room and a balcony room on a Carnival cruise can vary from $50 to $300 per night, depending on the ship location and category. While this may seem like a hefty price increase, it’s important to consider the benefits that come with booking a balcony room.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when weighing the cost and availability of balcony rooms on a Carnival cruise:

Comparison with other cruise lines: While balcony rooms may be more expensive on Carnival, they may be priced similarly or even lower than balcony rooms on other cruise lines. It’s important to research and compare prices across different cruise lines to find the best deal for your budget.

Benefits of booking in advance: Balcony rooms tend to sell out quickly, especially during peak travel seasons. By booking in advance, you not only secure your preferred room type but also have a better chance of getting a good price.

Location on the ship: Balcony rooms located closer to the center of the ship tend to be more expensive than those located near the front or back. Consider whether the location of your room is important to you when weighing the cost.

Category of the room: The price difference between balcony rooms of different categories can vary greatly. Consider which amenities and perks are important to you when selecting a room category.

Overall, while balcony rooms on Carnival may come at a higher cost, the benefits of having a private balcony and access to exclusive room categories may be worth it for some travelers. By comparing prices across different cruise lines and booking in advance, you can make an informed decision about whether a balcony room is the right choice for you.

Carnival Activities and Facilities

As I step aboard a Carnival cruise, I am immediately struck by the plethora of activities and facilities available to me. From thrilling water parks to state-of-the-art fitness centers, there is something for everyone on board. I can indulge in a variety of culinary delights, enjoy live music performances, and even catch a movie under the stars. The onboard entertainment is endless, with Broadway-style shows and comedy nights that will keep me entertained throughout my entire cruise.

To give a better idea of the variety of Carnival activities available, I’ve created a table below:

With so much to do on board, I know I won’t have a dull moment during my Carnival cruise. I can’t wait to experience all the onboard entertainment and activities that Carnival has to offer.

Deals and Promotions

When looking for ways to save money on my Carnival cruise, I always make sure to check out the latest deals and promotions available. Carnival offers a variety of promotions throughout the year, including early booking discounts, onboard credit, free upgrades, and reduced deposits. It’s important to keep an eye out for these promotions and take advantage of them when they’re available.

One way to save money on a Carnival cruise is by upgrading to a balcony room. Carnival often offers balcony room upgrades at a discounted price, which can be a great way to experience the luxury of a balcony room without breaking the bank.

Balcony rooms offer stunning views of the ocean, fresh sea air, and more floor space than interior or ocean view rooms. Plus, they’re a great way to add a little extra luxury to your cruise experience. Keep an eye out for these promotions and upgrades when booking your Carnival cruise.

Recommendation for Booking

For those considering a Carnival cruise, I highly recommend carefully researching the different stateroom options and taking into consideration your budget and personal preferences. While balcony rooms offer many benefits, there are also some drawbacks to consider before booking.

Here are some benefits and drawbacks to keep in mind when booking a balcony room on a Carnival cruise:

Benefits: Balcony rooms offer a view of the ocean and fresh sea air, and they’re usually slightly larger than ocean view cabins.

Drawbacks: Balcony rooms are more expensive and may not be worth it if you don’t plan on spending much time in your room. Also, balconies can be small and not private.

Benefits: Themed balcony rooms like Family Harbor and Havana are great choices, especially for families with kids.

Drawbacks: Suites could be a better choice for more space and extra perks. Additionally, balcony rooms can be dangerous for young children.

Overall, I recommend booking a balcony room if you can afford it and plan on spending some time in your room enjoying the view and fresh air. However, if you’re on a tight budget or don’t prioritize having a balcony, an ocean view or inside room could be a good alternative. It all comes down to personal preferences and priorities.

What is the maximum number of guests allowed in a balcony room on Carnival cruises?

In a Carnival balcony room, the maximum occupancy is typically four guests. Room sizes vary depending on the category and ship location, but they are usually slightly larger than oceanview cabins.

Are there any balcony rooms that are wheelchair accessible on Carnival ships?

"Looking for wheelchair accessible balcony rooms on Carnival ships? I’ve got good news – they exist! These rooms are located in convenient spots and offer the same stunning views as other balcony rooms." ‘Additionally, these rooms are spacious and equipped with various accessibility features to ensure a comfortable stay for guests with mobility disabilities.’

Do all balcony rooms on Carnival ships come with a private balcony?

Yes, all Carnival balcony rooms come with a private balcony. Balcony room amenities include ocean views, fresh sea air, and more floor space than inside or ocean view rooms. Balcony room pricing varies depending on the ship location and category.

Can you upgrade from an ocean view room to a balcony room once onboard the ship?

Upgrading from an ocean view room to a balcony room once onboard the ship is possible, but it comes at a cost. The benefits of upgrading include better views and more space, but it can cost $50-$300 more per night.

Are there any age restrictions for guests staying in Havana Balcony rooms on Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon, and Carnival Panorama?

Age restrictions apply for guests staying in Havana Balcony rooms on Carnival Vista, Carnival Horizon, and Carnival Panorama. The booking process allows for selecting this room type, but guests must be 12 years of age or older to stay in these rooms.

a stateroom with modern designs and a cool color scheme

STYLE, SUBSTANCE AND SURPRISES COME TOGETHER IN YOUR MARDI GRAS ® STATEROOM

STATEROOM DESIGN

Design is more than just the way things look — it’s as much about how they work. And staterooms aboard Mardi Gras are packed with innovative changes to both. It’s the way the ring-lit vanity mirror lights you evenly and shadow-free as you get ready. How the ottoman cushion flips over to serve as an extra table. And even those reading lights, recessed into the wall so you can read in bed without waking anyone! These details are really more than just details. Better comfort, lighting and storage all spring from a deep understanding we’ve developed around how people actually use their staterooms… and how small changes to the room add up to make the experience that much better. (Enough USB charging ports for everybody’s stuff? Oh yes!) Thoughtful, guest-centric design is how we do it… and all this in-room convenience comes paired with a fresh new look.

INTERIOR STATEROOMS

The most affordable way to experience all the Carnival excitement, without cutting corners on comfort.

HAVANA INTERIOR

For a stateroom with extra sabor — for not a lot of dinero — check out a Havana Interior stateroom. You’ll find yours all flavorfully decked out in Old Havana style… taking its cues from a place and time that certainly weren’t lacking in style. And like we said, you’ll find all this for a great price! (All Havana stateroom guests must be 12 or older… and don’t forget that all Havana staterooms feature exclusive perks!)

CLOUD 9 SPA INTERIOR

We’ve taken the warm essence of our Cloud 9 Spas and infused it into spa staterooms on Mardi Gras. Your room is the perfect place to do less, actually: just relax and take some you-time, anytime. (Don’t forget: all Cloud 9 Spa staterooms feature exclusive spa perks.)

FAMILY HARBOR INTERIOR

To truly experience the cozy sanctuary that a harbor provides, check out a Family Harbor Interior stateroom. These rooms are not only an affordable way to keep the family close, but feature a unique nautical décor inspired by the craft of seafaring itself. (Don’t forget: all Family Harbor staterooms feature exclusive perks.)

PREMIUM INTERIOR

When picking a stateroom on a budget, you have to think about what matters to you. Priorities, right? So if you’re more about the comfort than you are the view, we’d recommend you go with a Premium Interior stateroom. This room actually has the same floorplan as some higher-priced rooms (just without the balcony) so you’re definitely getting a nice step up from a standard Interior room. Your room features a sitting area with a sofa, so hang out and lounge in comfort!

An Interior stateroom is the most affordable way to cruise, and Mardi Gras’ interiors don’t leave out the comfort! This room is great for curling up after a long day’s fun.

OCEAN VIEW STATEROOMS

These comfy rooms with a view let you sail along to beautiful destinations while gazing at the sort of vistas you simply won't find anywhere on land.

CLOUD 9 SPA OCEAN VIEW

The best way to enjoy the relaxing, invigorating Cloud 9 Spa while on a cruise is in a spa stateroom… and this one fits the bill, pairing comfy accommodations with a great view. (Don’t forget: all Cloud 9 Spa staterooms feature exclusive spa perks.)

FAMILY HARBOR OCEAN VIEW

Let the whole family — especially the little ones — experience the wide-eyed wonder of sailing in a room with a view: a Family Harbor Ocean View stateroom. Not only could a vacation with a view like this help cultivate a lifelong love of the ocean, but Family Harbor staterooms feature a unique nautical décor inspired by the craft of seafaring itself. (Don’t forget: all Family Harbor staterooms feature exclusive perks.)

Catch a glimpse of what’s going by from your Ocean View stateroom aboard Mardi Gras, where you’ll get views you won’t find anywhere on land. Don’t miss sunrise and sunset at sea —your comfy stateroom is a great way to experience these two special times of day!

BALCONY STATEROOMS

Relax in your own personal outdoor oasis… designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views.

Havana Extended Cabana

Folks love staterooms like this for the Old Havana flavor… but that’s only the beginning. Right outside your Havana Extended Cabana lies a large outdoor patio complete with your own loungy deck chairs. Back inside the room you’ll also enjoy loads of sunlight courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling window. (All Havana stateroom guests must be 12 or older… and don’t forget: all Havana staterooms feature exclusive perks!)

HAVANA CABANA

There are great amenities by the handful in this Havana-flavored stateroom, but the most exciting one is likely to be this: Havana Cabana staterooms come with an outdoor patio, complete with your own loungy deck chairs, all right outside your room. These rooms also feature Cuba-inspired décor, plus loads of sunlight courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling window, but like we said… your very own deck chairs! (All Havana stateroom guests must be 12 or older… and don’t forget that all Havana staterooms feature exclusive perks!)

CLOUD 9 SPA FORWARD-VIEW EXTENDED BALCONY

Folks love staterooms like this because they were designed for relaxing, right down to the custom linens. But this room has something nobody’s ever seen in a Cloud 9 Spa stateroom before — the balcony faces forward, so you’re getting a view of what’s up ahead of the ship, sort of like the captain’s view! Sit out on your balcony, which by the way is larger than the standard one, and watch destinations appear on the horizon as we approach them. And don’t forget to breathe in… hold it, hold it… and now out. (Note that rooms of this type have partially obstructed views… but don’t forget: all Cloud 9 Spa staterooms feature exclusive spa perks.)

CLOUD 9 SPA BALCONY

Whether you’re warming up for your spa appointment or winding down after your treatment, there’s no better place to do it than on your Cloud 9 Spa Balcony. Breathing is important — take in the ocean breeze, then let it out — you’re already getting the hang of spa life! (Don’t forget: all Cloud 9 Spa staterooms feature exclusive spa perks.)

CLOUD 9 SPA COVE BALCONY

Nobody books a Cloud 9 Spa stateroom unless they love relaxation and want more. If this sounds like you, here’s a room with a little extra. It’s not just the custom décor… the secret here’s the balcony. A Cloud 9 Spa Cove Balcony stateroom sits closer to the waterline than most rooms, which means that your balcony puts you in a prime position to chill and check out those waves. There’s no way to get closer! (Don’t forget: all Cloud 9 Spa staterooms feature exclusive spa perks.)

PREMIUM-VIEW EXTENDED BALCONY

Book a stateroom with a balcony — any balcony — and you’re going to enjoy your vacation with an extra dose of sea breeze. But book one of these and there’s even more in store: these balconies face forward or backward (most balconies face left or right), so you’ll get a unique view of your vacation featuring what’s up ahead or behind the ship! (Note that forward-facing rooms have partially obstructed views.)

Extended Balcony

Extended Balcony staterooms feature a larger balcony with more outdoor lounge-around room, more open-air kick-back space… and back inside the room itself, all the comfort you expect with a great view and plenty of sunlight.

Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you’re looking to cruise with a view aboard Mardi Gras. Any time you’re in your room, you’re just steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis, featuring the sort of sea view you can also feel.

JUNIOR BALCONY

Balcony staterooms were designed for maximum sea breeze and the most stunning views, so look to a balcony if you’re looking to cruise with a view aboard Mardi Gras. A Junior Balcony stateroom features the same size balcony as standard Balcony rooms, just with a little less interior space. Any time you’re in your room, you’re just steps away from your own personal outdoor oasis, featuring the sort of sea view you can also feel.

COVE BALCONY

Love the sea? Mardi Gras Cove Balcony staterooms are the best way to see the sea — these rooms get you close to the waterline, and feature balconies that let you make the most of your location. Enjoy things from a whole new perspective: one amazing up-close view of the wake and seafoam as the ship cruises along.

A stateroom featuring the most indoor space, a balcony and some of the best perks on the ship.

CARNIVAL EXCEL PRESIDENTIAL SUITE

If you’re looking for the largest stateroom and best view on the ship — one practically the same as what the captain sees — then your search stops here, Junior Captain. But there’s more to know: for one thing, the Carnival Excel Presidential Suite features a separate living room and bedroom, and these spaces are packing two TVs, a walk-in closet, a lighted vanity and sectional sofa. There’s a dining area, and of course a wet bar. You’ll find truly deluxe extras like the bathroom with large shower and two sinks, plus we put the toilet and an extra sink in a separate room for convenience and privacy. Did we forget the hot tub? Of course not — it’s outside on the wraparound balcony, which is so large that “balcony” might not even be the right word, since it features seating from lounge chairs to loveseats, rocking chair to daybed, for over a dozen of your closest friends, plus an al fresco dining table.

Carnival Excel Aft Suite

A Carnival Excel Aft Suite is one of the most spacious staterooms on the ship… and if we’re talking square-footage, let’s just say the wraparound balcony is made for entertaining. (Okay, let’s also say it has a private hot tub, dining area, daybed, plus plenty of loungy seating. Wow!) But back inside the room, which features a separate living room and bedroom, you’ll find some nice perks that make this room truly deluxe. For instance, how about an ample bathroom with large shower and double sink, plus a separate private room for the toilet and an extra sink? You’ve got it all. Or two TVs, a walk-in closet, a lighted vanity and sectional sofa? All of those — check!

CARNIVAL EXCEL CORNER SUITE

A Carnival Excel Corner Suite aboard Mardi Gras features tons of indoor space, plus a large wraparound balcony with lounge chairs and an al fresco dining table, for when you need a little more space. Back inside this impressive room you’ll find a king-size bed, deluxe bathroom, plus a living room featuring a wet bar.

CARNIVAL EXCEL SUITE

Your room also features extra space for kicking back, ocean-breeze-style, on your balcony featuring lounge chairs and an al fresco dining table.

HAVANA CABANA CORNER SUITE

In a Havana Cabana Corner Suite you’ll find all the comforts of a normal suite… decked out in Cuba-inspired décor! Inside the room are separate living room and bedroom areas, with a TV in each, plus convenient extras like a sectional sofa and walk-in closet. Outside your amazing room lies a private lanai with your own swinging chair. (All Havana stateroom guests must be 12 or older… and don’t forget that all Havana staterooms feature exclusive perks!)

This is more than a large room with a unique, soothing décor… but there’s also plenty of convenience here, like the vanity featuring an illuminated mirror. Oh, and those aren’t the only upgrades from other Cloud 9 Spa staterooms — this room has just the large balcony you’d expect. (Don’t forget: all Cloud 9 Spa staterooms feature exclusive spa perks.)

OCEAN SUITE

A Mardi Gras Ocean Suite offers more space for stretching out indoors, plus a large balcony for kicking back outdoors. Try an Ocean Suite to experience private, spacious relaxation… and a deluxe bathroom!

Loft 19™ was designed to afford you a unique opportunity for relaxation and indulgence. This retreat-style space invites you to soak up the sun all day from the comfort of a lounge chair or infinity whirlpool. This pairs so perfectly with Carnival Excel suites that staying in one actually gets you Loft 19™ access! Drink service is always close at hand, plus you can even opt for a little private time — renting a cabana gets you more than just a place in the shade, but extras like fresh fruit, chilled towels, lunch delivery and concierge service. (Cabana rentals are open to everyone, though guests in Carnival Excel-level suites enjoy priority reservations.)

Inside cabin vs. balcony room: Which cruise cabin category should you choose?

MSN has partnered with The Points Guy for our coverage of credit card products. MSN and The Points Guy may receive a commission from card issuers.

Many cruise planning decisions come down to cost — and which cabin you choose has one of the biggest impacts on your bottom line. If price is an issue, you’ll likely find yourself with the dilemma of whether to book an inside cabin or a balcony cabin. The choice isn’t always easy.

For travelers cruising on a budget, a windowless inside cabin may be an excellent option. These cabins are the most economical accommodations, yet they still provide access to all the complimentary dining venues, entertainment, pools and other public areas on the ship. But will you be happy in a room without a view?

Balcony cabins are the most popular cabin type, offering access to more living space, sunset views and ocean breezes from your private veranda. These accommodations are more affordable than fancy suites, but can cost as much as 50% to 100% more than interior cabins, depending on the length and destination of the voyage. Is the higher fare worth it?

For more cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG’s cruise newsletter .

If you’re trying to decide which accommodations to choose, here’s what you need to know to make the choice between a windowless inside room and a more spacious yet expensive balcony cabin.

Are there differences between inside and balcony cabins regarding size and amenities?

The main difference is that balcony cabins are typically larger — with most, but not all, of the extra square footage going to the veranda. The cabin’s outer wall will be floor-to-ceiling windows with a door that leads to an additional seating area outside; the seating area usually consists of two chairs with a small table between them. An inside cabin has no window or access to natural light or fresh air.

Both standard inside and balcony categories are designed for double occupancy, but some rooms in either category can sleep up to four. The cabins will have two twin beds that can convert into one queen-size bed, a small desk or vanity with a mirror and chair, and a private bathroom. Some rooms will also have a small sofa that may be a pullout bed to accommodate additional guests.

Other amenities such as a closet, a flat-screen television, a minifridge, a personal safe, a hair dryer and bathroom toiletries will be similar.

Is a balcony more important on certain sailings?

If you’re going on a shorter cruise — such as a three-night sailing in the Caribbean — an inside cabin may be a perfect and affordable option. You’ll likely be sipping mai tais poolside or heading ashore to the cruise line’s private island during the days, so you won’t be in the room other than to sleep and freshen up for the evening.

If you aren’t spending much time in the room, it probably won’t matter if you have less space and no balcony. You can still see the sunset or watch the ship pulling into port by heading upstairs and taking in the views from the pool deck. Save the extra money to splurge on dinner and a bottle of wine at the steakhouse or a tour in port.

If you’re on a longer sailing in a destination such as the Mediterranean and have several days at sea — and plan to spend time in your cabin during your cruise — then you probably want the extra space and the view. It’s nice to open the door to have the fresh air if it’s cooler outside. You might also enjoy seeing the coastline or cities as you pull into port — without having to go upstairs to view the scenery with everyone else.

You’ll also be able to sit outdoors, have a glass of wine or read a book in private. You can order room service and enjoy a quiet breakfast or dinner on the veranda. It’s a nice change of pace from going to the bustling lounges for a cocktail or to the restaurants for a meal.

If you don’t feel well and are confined to your room, you’ll appreciate the larger accommodation and the option to sit outside on the balcony.

Balcony cabins offer excellent viewing opportunities if you’re cruising in scenic places like Alaska and sailing through Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve . While you may not be guaranteed all the best views from your veranda — as they may be on the other side of the ship — you can skip the crowds on the top decks and gaze out at the majestic snowcapped mountains and surreal blue glaciers from your private terrace.

Should my travel party determine which cabin I choose?

Suppose you’re sailing with your spouse, significant other or best friend. In that case, you’ll probably have enough space for two people to be comfortable in an interior cabin, especially if you’re busy on and off the ship — and it’s a short cruise. On a longer sailing, you might use a balcony for alone time with your sweetie or for heart-to-hearts with your bestie — away from the crowded public decks.

If it’s an extended cruise and you’re sailing with kids, it might be a challenge to stay in a standard interior cabin as a family and remain sane after a week . You might find larger inside cabins offer more space and better sleeping accommodations with a pullout sofa bed or bunk beds. Again, these will cost more than the basic inside room.

If you can upgrade to a balcony cabin, you’ll have more room to spread out and store your stuff. Parents will also appreciate the chance to relax on the balcony with an adult beverage after the kids go to bed.

Related: Which cruise ship cabins should your family book?

If you’re a solo traveler, you must pay a single supplement for most cabin accommodations. When deciding between an inside or balcony cabin, you’ll need to budget for that. The extra cost can be as much as double the cruise fare, so it may affect which cabin you can afford.

Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America and Royal Caribbean offer solo cabins that don’t have a single supplement; these include inside, ocean-view and balcony rooms, depending on the line. Expect these to cost more than a standard inside or balcony room but less than the cost of that room with a 100% supplement. Other companies might offer promotions on select sailings with no single supplement, leaving you with the budget for a bigger cabin.

What are other advantages of booking an inside vs. a balcony cabin?

If you’re a light sleeper who needs a quiet, dark space to get a good night’s sleep, book an inside cabin. You won’t have to worry about bright light peeking through the curtains in the morning to wake you up. You should also set the alarm if you have an early excursion or appointment in the morning since you won’t be able to tell what time it is. It’s easy to oversleep when it’s cozy, dark and cool in the cabin.

If you need natural light for health reasons and are prone to motion sickness  — especially if the seas are rough or you get claustrophobic — you probably won’t be happy in an interior cabin. Seeing the horizon and having access to fresh air is essential when the ship starts to pitch and roll, so you’d do better splurging on the balcony cabin.

What are the best inside cabins?

Royal Caribbean features game-changing inside cabins with a “virtual balcony” on select ships. The 80-inch, high-definition LED screens stretch nearly from floor to ceiling. They give the illusion of a huge window with real-time views and sounds of the ocean and destination piped into the room.

Carnival Cruise Line ‘s interior cabins are some of the largest in the industry, ranging from 185 to 220 square feet. These cabins include two twin beds or one king-size bed, and the larger rooms can sleep up to five guests. Family Harbor accommodations also offer additional perks with access to the Family Harbor Lounge, which includes complimentary snacks, games, movies and other perks like free specialty dining for the kids.

Disney Cruise Line ‘s interior cabins with Magical Portholes also feature live sea cam views on a circular screen — and an occasional appearance from Disney characters.

Norwegian Cruise Line ‘s studio cabins for solo travelers are inside rooms with a full-size bed, a one-way window onto the corridor, a separate bathroom, sink and shower. It also provides keycard access to the Studio Lounge, where single guests can mix and mingle.

What are the best balcony cabins?

Celebrity Cruises ‘ Infinite Veranda cabins on its Edge-class ships are 23% larger than those on its Solstice-class ships, with 243 total square feet and 42 square feet of balcony space. These versatile cabins allow you to transform your room from a traditional-style balcony cabin — open to fresh air and closed off from the interior portion of a room — to a completely enclosed room with a view and the terrace inside.

How? With the touch of a button, the top half of a floor-to-ceiling window slides down; you can close doors to create a separate veranda or leave them open to bring the fresh air into the entire cabin.

Virgin Voyages ‘ Sea Terraces, at 225 to 265 square feet, feature an additional seating arrangement on the balcony. In addition to the typical two chairs and a small table for drinks, you’ll also find a red hammock where you can sit and swing the afternoon away.

Bottom line

If you’re on vacation and having a great time — and not spending much time in your cabin — it may not matter where you rest your head at night. If you can save the extra money and splurge on five-course dinners and more immersive excursions, booking an inside cabin may be the way to go.

If you’d rather enjoy the views from a private balcony — and have a space to escape other cruisers — and you plan to spend more time in your room, book a balcony cabin where you’ll be more comfortable. A balcony will also be a better bet if you’re trying to fit more than two people in one cruise cabin. If the extra cost is a concern, and you’re flexible on dates and destinations, look for deals where balcony cabins will be less expensive.

Inside cabin vs. balcony room: Which cruise cabin category should you choose?

5 upgrades that are always worth the money, according to someone who's been on 50 cruises

  • After taking 50 cruises , I've learned that some upgrades are worth the hype. 
  • I always upgrade to a balcony cabin for views of the ocean and a quiet spot to chill. 
  • The best coffee onboard is also an added cost, but it's worth it, in my opinion.

Insider Today

Over the past 15 years, I've taken 50 cruises with family and friends, trying out different ships, routes, and cabins .

Here are five cruise upgrades I think are actually worth the money.

The number one upgrade I pay for on any cruise is a balcony cabin.

carnival cruise room balcony

Whether I'm headed to the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, or the Bahamas, I always pay extra for a balcony cabin on a cruise . I love that I can walk outside and see the ocean at any time.

Another perk is that it can be a quiet place to rest or read a book when the pool decks get too busy but I still want to be outside.

It's different on every cruise, but balcony cabins typically cost at least $100 to $200 more than interior staterooms.

I try to book specialty dining as soon as I can.

carnival cruise room balcony

One of my favorite ways to treat myself on a cruise is by booking specialty dining .

Oftentimes, the options can range anywhere from $50 to over $100 a person, depending on the type of restaurant and meal.

A few of my must-do specialty restaurants include Palo for brunch on all five Disney Cruise Line ships, Raw on 5 on the Celebrity Edge ships, and Jamie's Italian by Jamie Oliver on some of the Royal Caribbean ships.

Specialty coffee drinks are a must for me.

carnival cruise room balcony

Just like hotel coffee, standard cruise coffee generally isn't all that great.

After sipping on a cup in the main dining room or buffet to get me going in the morning, I usually head to the onboard coffee shop for something more to my taste.

It's usually always better than the complimentary coffee. Plus, it's whipped up by baristas who can make everything from lattes to coffee-based cocktails .

On a recent Disney Cruise , I went to Cove Café, an adults-only coffee shop, and found my new favorite coffee drink at sea: an iced salted-caramel coconut latte ($5.50).

Some cruise lines, like Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line, have a Starbucks on some ships too, which is great for those who want their normal morning brew.

Thermal-suite passes are a little luxury I try to book as often as I can.

carnival cruise room balcony

Thermal suites on cruise lines just getting better with newer ships. These serene spaces within the spa are filled with plunge pools , hot tubs, heated loungers, experience showers, and more.

On cruises longer than three nights, I try to book a length-of-cruise pass where I can come and go from the thermal suite as often as I want.

Prices vary depending on cruise lines and the length of the trip, but week-long passes typically cost between $120 and $300 a person.

It can be challenging to land the pass since there's only a limited number available, so I always head straight for the spa at embarkation.

Some unique activities are worth the extra cost.

carnival cruise room balcony

As cruise ships get bigger, more "How did they get that on a cruise ship?" activities appear on decks.

For example, the newest Carnival Cruise Line ships have a roller coaster that goes around the top deck. It costs $15 to ride, and you get two laps around the deck.

Additionally, Norwegian Cruise Line's go-karts allow cruisers to race their family and friends around the track. It costs $15 a person for 10 laps, or you can pay $200 a person for an unlimited pass.

I'm more than willing to shell out a little extra cash to try these activities — even if it's just to say I've done it — especially since most of them are one-and-done splurges.

You Can Cruise From New Orleans To Spain Next Spring

Carnival's 16-day journey will stop at the Bahamas, the Azores, and parts of Portugal and Spain.

Bloomberg / Contributor/Getty Images

Want to get a head start on planning your dream vacation for 2025? We've just heard Carnival Cruise Line has started selling tickets for a 16-day Transatlantic journey from the Port of New Orleans to Barcelona, Spain next spring.

The epic-sounding itinerary starts in the Crescent City, departing on April 24, 2025. (If you want to spend a few days in NOLA beforehand, check out our list of the 45 Best Things To Do In New Orlean .)

While you're at sea, you can take advantage of the ship's entertainment, from stage performances and deck parties to clubs, pools, and hot tubs. Grown-ups can visit the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat, while kids can spend some time at Camp Ocean.

After a couple of days on the water, passengers will arrive in Nassau in the Bahamas for a few umbrella drinks and some beach time. Then the ship will steam across the Atlantic to São Miguel Island in the Azores, where an extinct volcano, breaching whales, and hot springs await.

Next stop: Madeira in Portugal, the "Garden Island" where the famous fortified wine is made. The journey ends with three days in Spain, making stops in the ancient city of Málaga, the beach resort Alicante, and finally, highly cultured Barcelona.

Rates for the cruise start at $860 per person and go up from there—of course you'll pay more for an ocean view or balcony. Or, go all out and book the Captain's Suite, which Carnival says is "the best room you can get… without bunking up with the guy himself." It's a dream vacation, right?
