Havana Staterooms & Suites

At Carnival we love to cruise as much as anyone, but when you book a Havana stateroom, it's like you're no longer on a ship... you're at an exclusive island resort. But unlike most spots on land, you're never far from the ocean... or from the Havana Bar & Pool. (You'll enjoy exclusive access to the pool area!) Inside, all Havana staterooms feature a unique décor, but step up to a Havana Cabana for an extra-large outdoor chill space featuring a lounge-ready hammock chair. Step into a Havana Cabana suite for even more space, plus a luxurious rain shower. (All Havana stateroom guests must be 12 or older.)

Terrazza Staterooms

Have you ever thought “maybe I could live like an Italian”? Well there’s a place you can kind of try out the lifestyle, at least for one vacation: Terrazza Staterooms aboard a Carnival cruise! You’ll find these aboard any of our Fun Italian Style ships, and the resort layout gives you everything you need for comfort and style in one place. For starters, all the staterooms feature a fresh style inside… and some add premium open-air benefits like a patio lounging area or balcony. And on a select few, the balcony is — how shall we put it? — grandissimo! But guess what’s included with every Terrazza stateroom? Exclusive access to a private deck featuring amenities like all-day lounging with great drinks, entertainment, whirlpools and more. (All Terrazza stateroom guests must be 12 or older.)

Available On : Carnival Firenze ™ and Carnival Venezia ™

ALL THE PERKS, IN EVERY ROOM

With all this comfort and all these standard features, you've gotta try real hard to get homesick on a Carnival cruise.

• Dedicated stateroom attendant
• Soft, cozy linens
• Stateroom climate control
• Plenty of closet and drawer space
• Bathrobes upon request
• In-room safe for valuables

YEP, WE THOUGHT OF THAT TOO

Beyond the basics, you’ll find rooms that take your vacation to the next level — we’re talking stuff that matters most to groups, families, folks with special needs and more!

Adding friends equals multiplying the fun. That’s why many Carnival staterooms can be configured in different ways — some sleep up to five!

Keep the group together. Some cabins have connecting rooms with a common door between them.

When it comes to bathrooms, an extra might be a good idea. Deluxe Ocean View staterooms sleep up to five and come with an extra half-bath.

Specially modified rooms are available for guests with special needs .

TOP-TO-BOTTOM, FRONT-TO-BACK FUN

Wherever on the ship you make your home base, good times aren't far.

• Lower decks
• Upper decks

For arts and entertainment, health and relaxation, stay up front. The fitness center and spa are nearby, not to mention great performances in the show lounge.

Sneak Peek At Carnival Cruise Line’s New Staterooms [Photos]

Now that Carnival Cruise Line has opened up bookings for the upcoming Mardi Gras , we’ve got your first look at the staterooms on board. Whether you’re interested in an interior, oceanview, balcony or suite, the ship has something for everyone — and with a color scheme and style that’s completely different than anything Carnival has done before.

According to Carnival, bookings for Mardi Gras have been going gangbusters. “We broke sales records across all of our channels,” said president Christine Duffy. She added that they were seeing “tremendous enthusiasm from guests and travel partners alike.” And of course, this is all taking place for a ship which is still under construction for which some venues have not yet been revealed. With that in mind, we thought it might be both fun and helpful to get a look at the renderings of some of the many stateroom categories available to help you decide which might be right for you.

Interior Staterooms

These will be offered in numerous categories, including a Cloud 9 Interior Stateroom as well as ones in the Havana section.

The color scheme of the regular interior staterooms on the ship is largely white with splashes of soothing blue, clearly designed to reflect the oceans on which the ship will travel. It’s worth noting that in every stateroom, there will be USB ports by the side of the bed, perfect for plugging in those phones so you can set an alarm to wake you up in the morning. (That can be especially important when it comes to interior staterooms, given that there’s no natural source of light and you could easily wind up sleeping the day away in the comfy bed.)

The Havana Interior Staterooms are more colorful than the standard interior rooms, keeping with the theme of the area in which they are situated. They also offer access to the exclusive Havana Retreat area, which will feature a relaxation pool, bar and more.

As seen above, the Cloud 9 Spa interior rooms are very similar to the regular interior rooms, although the color scheme is slightly different. The blues, in keeping with the notion of relaxing in a spa, are slightly more muted than the bright blues in the regular interior rooms.

Cloud 9 Spa Oceanview Staterooms

For those who want a view — or, fearing seasickness, need a horizon — might find themselves looking at these cabins.

With a soothing color palette and fantastic views, these staterooms — which, like most of the oceanview cabins on the ship, feature a separate couch perfect for chilling upon — will help you begin to relax the moment you set foot into them.

Balcony Staterooms

Is there anything better than having your own private terrace from which to watch the world literally go by as you sail across the ocean?

Unlike past Carnival ships, the balconies on Mardi Gras will feature sliding glass doors. One thing that hasn’t changed is the amazing feeling that comes with stepping out onto your balcony and breathing in the fresh, ocean air. Both regular balconies and Cloud 9 Spa Balconies measure 249 feet, with 205 feet being the footage of the cabin and 44 feet dedicated to the balconies.

Like on Carnival Vista and Carnival Horizon, Havana Cabanas on the Mardi Gras feature a uniquely styled terrace. These outdoor patios open onto a private walkway accessible only by fellow Havana guests. Passengers booked in Havana staterooms of any level also have exclusive daytime access to the Havana retreat. It’s worth noting that all guests in any Havana stateroom must be 12 years of age or older.

There are a wide variety of suites on board, in sizes ranging from the 341 square foot Ocean Suite to the 1120 square foot Cloud 9 Spa Deluxe Vista Suite. While full details haven’t been revealed as to the amenities included, one thing each definitely provides is extra space in which to spread out.

The extra space afforded the Ocean Suite allows for a separate sitting area with a sleeper sofa. The heavy curtain separating the two spaces makes this a great option for families.

The Premium Balcony Suite features 615 square feet of space, with 410 of those devoted to the interior living areas while the balcony measures a whopping 205 square feet. There’s a television at the foot of the bed and, as seen in the rendering below, both a couch and a table, the perfect place to enjoy a room service-delivered meal.

Next up is the captain’s suite, which comes with just about everything… except the actual captain.

This spacious stateroom measure 710 square feet. The room itself comes in at 398 square feet, with the remaining 312 devoted to the balcony and its beautiful views.

Feeling the need to really spread out? Maybe you feel like you need access to the balcony from both the bedroom and the living room? Then the Deluxe Vista Suite might be calling your name.

Bigger than some apartments, this suite measures 861 square feet. 463 of that is interior space, leaving you 398 luxurious square feet of balcony on which to soak up the sun or take in the sights.

If you’ve ever thought it might be fun to have a sailaway party in your suite, this would definitely be the place to host it. Between the expansive living room and the massive deck, you and your friends could enjoy quite the good time.

And that brings us to the final stop on today’s tour… the 1,120 square foot Cloud 9 Spa Deluxe Vista Suite… complete with a 646 square foot balcony that promises to be the envy of all the other balconies on the ship.

What do you think of these staterooms and suites? Which of them would you love to book yourself in for a sailing on the new Mardi Gras?

Founded in 2001 by Dominique Vaccaro, a passionate cruise ship and old liner enthusiast since his childhood. He was concerned that only a few web sites provided a helpful and practical search for obtaining and visualization of cruise ship deck plans and staterooms available. Those that did, usually offered very little interactivity to find the configuration and location of a stateroom. One would get lost and perhaps bored by the opening of dozens of windows searching for information.

That is why this site came into existence. To help visitors, first time or even experienced cruise customers and travel agents search and find, through an easy to use and complete interface, the stateroom that would be best for their tastes, means or requests.

I'm one of the first passengers on Carnival's newest ship: Check out more than 100 Carnival Jubilee photos

TPG's Ashley Kosciolek accepted a free trip from Carnival Cruise Line to attend a behind-the-scenes voyage of new ship Carnival Jubilee. The opinions expressed below are entirely hers and weren't subject to review by the line.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a cruise ship almost entirely to yourself? I have, and for two days this week, I had the chance to experience it. I was one of just three non-employees on Carnival Cruise Line 's new Carnival Jubilee, the third ship in the line's Excel Class , which gives a nod to some of the brand's original vessels.

I was visiting the vessel before its first official revenue cruise, which began on Saturday.

Not everything was open during my time on board, but that's because there weren't enough people to warrant it. That changed soon after I left the ship, though. More than 6,200 passengers embarked Carnival Jubilee for its first sailing, a completely full 7-night voyage to the Western Caribbean.

It was nothing short of magical to see the final touches for Carnival Jubilee's first sailing come together.

The crew was busy preparing – polishing brass, shampooing carpets, washing linens, stocking the onboard shops, rehearsing shows, doing meal service dry runs and putting up the last of the holiday decorations that have taken up residence in just about every public space. (The first voyage is happening over Christmas, after all.)

During my short visit, which included a quick sailing from Galveston, Texas, where Jubilee is based , I toured several types of cabins, caught two of the theater shows, ate at six of the ship's restaurants and snagged enough coffee from the onboard cafe to stay awake for what feels like a week. I also checked out the Bolt roller coaster – one of just three at sea – and the ship's new Golden Mermaid and Dr. Inks bars in the ship's "Currents" zone, which features an under-the-sea theme that celebrates ocean life.

So, what was it like? Here are more than 100 Carnival Jubilee pictures so you can sneak a peek before you sail on this phenomenal new ship.

Carnival has come a long way since the days when its staterooms were colored like cotton candy. Instead, its newest vessels are done up in neutrals with calming accents of blue and green, depending on the cabin category.

On my sailing, I was in a 341-square-foot Ocean Suite capable of sleeping four people with a queen bed, a twin sofa bed and a single bunk that pulled down from the ceiling. In addition to tons of closet and drawer space, there were two TVs, a sizeable balcony and a ton of USB ports.

I also had an opportunity to check out a couple of other cabin types, including a 158-square-foot inside that sleeps three people, a 243-square-foot Family Harbor ocean-view room, 249-square foot Cove Balcony accommodations, a 341-square-foot Spa Suite and an 861-square-foot Excel Aft Suite.

Restaurants

Carnival Jubilee's restaurants are elegant but fun. Whether you're enjoying the Hogwarts vibes provided by the central lighting in the main dining rooms as the waiters dance or admiring the glass fish on the wall at Rudi's Seagrill, there's always something to talk about over dinner.

Food and drinks

I'm just going to say it: Carnival's food is severely underrated. It's consistently some of the best I've eaten at sea , and the wide variety of cuisines — from Italian and Asian to seafood and steak — means there's something to please even the most picky eaters. Plus, you can't beat the value, with free options like burgers, pizza, burritos and fried chicken.

On my sailing, I tested out fare from The Pacific main dining room; Chibang!, a combination Asian and Mexican restaurant; Rudi's Seagrill, a for-fee seafood eatery dreamed up by food artist and chef Rudi Sodamin; Guy's Burger Joint, which serves up complimentary burgers designed by Guy Fieri; and Coastal Slice and Beach Buns, two counter-service areas that offer free pizza and deli items in the ship's The Shores zone.

And, what would a Carnival sailing be without testing a few tipples? After dinner on the first night, I ventured to the Golden Mermaid Bar, where I ordered the A Pearly Bubble, a mixture of gin, St-Germain liqueur, white cranberry juice, dragon fruit and lime juice. Meanwhile, a friend tried the Sapphire Sparkle: lemon rum, blue curacao, white cranberry juice and aquafaba.

After that, I headed around the corner to Dr. Inks Ph. D., an octopus-themed watering hole in the Currents zone, which carries an underwater theme, and tried a Snapping Pop (Swedish Fish candy-infused vodka, triple sec liqueur, maraschino liqueur, Pop Rocks and green apple candy). I also started each day with a coffee from the JavaBlue cafe in the Grand Central zone.

Bars and lounges

As with all Carnival ships, there are plenty of bars from which to choose on Carnival Jubilee. For me, the three most notable are the Golden Mermaid, Dr. Inks Ph. D. and the Center Stage Bar. The first has a golden vintage theme that evokes buried treasure, and it serves interesting concoctions that include smoke bubbles and glitter.

Dr. Inks, found in the ship's Currents Zone, focuses on life under the sea and features appearances by a new character, Dr. Inks, an octopus who has a doctorate in philosophy, pet butterflies and a sizeable collection of eyeglasses in different colors and styles. On that menu, you'll find more smoke bubbles, as well as whimsical ingredients like Pop Rocks.

Meanwhile, the Center Stage Bar offer standard drinks but in a central location near the atrium. With its iridescent accents and combination of shapes and colors, it gives me subtle Joe Farcus vibes — appropriate for a throwback Carnival ship.

Entertainment

Limited entertainment was offered when I sailed Carnival Jubilee, but I did have a chance to see the ship's brand-new theater show "Dear Future Husband." The premise is that a couple plans a wedding on a cruise ship, and they bring their friends. We follow them through the pre-wedding party shenanigans, the prep and the ceremony, all set to popular songs like Bruno Mars' "Marry You" and, of course, Meghan Trainor's "Dear Future Husband."

When the show ends, passengers are encouraged to head from the Jubilee Theater, where it takes place, to the ship's Limelight Lounge for the "reception," which features a DJ playing music for dancing. (Don't get too excited, though: the happy couple won't grace attendees with an open bar.)

Also on Carnival Jubliee is "Rio Carnival," a show that first debuted on Carnival Celebration . It focuses on the flamboyance of Brazil and its street fair culture, complete with bright colors and sparkling costumes.

The ship's Grand Central zone, which houses Center Stage, also serves as an entertainment venue. Although no full shows were offered there during my sailing, I did catch a peek at the cast during rehearsal for a special holiday performance.

The top decks belong to Carnival Jubilee's Lido and Ultimate Playground zones. The former houses the ship's main pool, along with the RedFrog Tiki Bar, BlueIguana Cantina and Guy's Burger Joint.

Just above that, the Ultimate Playground is where passengers can splash down the tangle of waterslides that is Carnival Waterworks, give the ropes course a go, play a game of miniature golf or basketball, or hop on the Bolt roller coaster for an adrenaline-pumping ride.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, the upper decks are also the place to find a relaxing, adults-only spot to sunbathe or soak in a hot tub, thanks to the adults-only area Serenity and Loft 19, a retreat-style area that offers cabanas. Both come with a fee for entry.

Spa and fitness center

Carnival has brought its Cloud 9 spa, salon and fitness center to Carnival Jubilee. They feature a plethora of pampering treatments that run the gamut from massages and facials to manicures and pedicures, hair styling and classes like yoga and spin. The fitness center, which is free to use, is equipped with LifeFitness machines, exercise balls, dumb bells and other amenities.

The spa's thermal suite, which you can access for a fee or with the purchase of a spa treatment, includes saunas, heated tile loungers and a whirlpool.

Camp Ocean, Carnival's kids club, is impressive on Carnival Jubilee. It's fun, brightly colored and modern, and it's staffed by a dedicated team that organizes games, crafts and other activities for children, based on age.

Activities are split into four groups, each with its own designated area: Turtles (up to 1 year old), Penguins (2-5), Stingrays (6-8) and Sharks (9-11). You'll find Dr. Seuss' Bookville children's library in that space, too. There are also two lounges — Circle C and Club O2 — for tweens and teens in a separate area of the vessel.
