Finding Your Perfect Stateroom Vibe
If you are going to go on a vacation, where you stay will make or break your experience. The last thing you would want is to spend your money on a vacation that turns out to be miserable or uncomfortable and ruin the entire trip! So I put together a quick guide to let you know what to expect—specifically for Carnival Cruise Lines. And by the way, a stateroom is your onboard home for the trip. Let’s explore your options!
Today, we’re diving into a topic that might just make or break your cruise experience: picking the right stateroom! Because let’s be real—you deserve to enjoy every part of your cruise, including where you lay your head at night. Whether you’re planning for your whole crew or just a little getaway for yourself, we’ve got you covered. Let’s break it all down together. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Okay, Momma Girl, here’s the deal: staterooms are not one-size-fits-all. I like to think of them in three levels: the Standard Level, the Classy Level, and the Top Tier Level. Oh yes, there are levels to this thing!
1️⃣ Standard Level – Perfect for budget-friendly queens or those who plan to spend most of their time exploring the ship.
Inside Cabins: Cozy and simple.
Ocean View Rooms: A window for when you need a little ocean inspo.
Balcony Rooms: Your own slice of ocean breeze—yes, please! Bonus: Cove Balconies are a unique option on Dream, Vista, and Excel Class ships.
✨ Bonus Perks: All these options come with room stewards, safes, bathrobes (on request), and more. No matter your pick, you’ll feel right at home onboard!
Now let’s step it up a notch with the Classy Level—aka the Suites. Or as I like to say, Sea Classy! (Yes, I made that term up, and yes, we’re keeping it.)
Suites give you:
Priority boarding, check-in, and dinner reservations.
Pillow-top mattresses for that chef’s kiss good night’s sleep.
More space to stretch out with your family or just feel fancy!
Now, Momma Girl, let’s talk about the Top Tier Level—the crème de la crème of staterooms. Specialty staterooms are all about experiences, so if you’re looking for extra vibes, these are for YOU.
Are you one that enjoys the spa, and would benefit from having your own private access to it whenever you wanted? Or enjoy free fitness classes? Then a cloud 9 stateroom is for you.
Or maybe you want a themed stateroom. Giving you a full submersion experience, exclusive access to your favorite areas on the ship? Then you want either a Havana Stateroom/suite or a Terrazza Stateroom.
Or maybe you’re like, this how we doing this! I want concierge services, with guaranteed specialty dining. I want the bottomless bubbly drinks with the complementary laundry service. Yes ma’am, I want that for you too, and that is an Excel Suite.
Top-tier rooms cater to your needs and elevate your cruising experience to another level of awesomeness.
For my Momma Girls with the whole crew, let’s talk about family-friendly options.
The first one is the Deluxe Ocean View Room, which is only available on the Dream Class Ships. These rooms sleep up to 5 people, and what I love about these rooms is the fact that there are 2 bathrooms in them. Yes, Momma Girl, 2 bathrooms! The first bathroom has the standard shower while the second bathroom has a small Jr. tub, which is perfect for bath time with your littles.
The second option is the Family Harbor Rooms. These are specialty rooms, which means, you guessed it, top-tier access. They have the same layout as the Deluxe Ocean View Rooms. The difference is that you have access to the Family Harbor Lounge. There, you and your family can have breakfast, play games, socialize with other families, and so much more. What I think is pretty cool is at night, they serve cookies and milk to help get the littles ready for bed, and you get a free evening of Night Owls babysitting services so you can have some alone, adult-only time. These rooms are offered on Vista Class and Excel Class ships.
To wrap things up, choosing the right stateroom can truly make or break your cruise experience. Whether you’re rolling solo, bringing the family, or going all out with top-tier vibes, there’s something for everyone onboard Carnival Cruise Lines. No matter what level you choose, remember that your comfort and enjoyment are the most important parts of your trip.
So, Momma Girl, which stateroom level is calling your name? Are you Team Standard, Classy, or Top Tier?
