Carnival Celebration cabins and suites

Carnival Celebration features the first cabin bathrooms in the CCL fleet with glass-door showers and an in-shower shaving bar, as well as the fleet’s first—and largest—"Carnival Excel" suites. Over 70% of all staterooms are oceanview, with 300 pairs of connecting family cabins. Balconies are accessed via sliding floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The lounge area is equipped with new-style sofabeds (with footstools that open for storage), under-bed storage for suitcases, flexible bedside reading lamps, mini-refrigerators with transparent glass doors, multiple power outlets and USB ports (on the vanity table and bedside), extra shelving for electronics, and large wardrobes (with folding shelves, sliding shoe racks, and pull-out bins).

Below is a review of Carnival Celebration staterooms in terms of amenities, furniture, and complimentary services:

The ship offers a total of 80 wheelchair-accessible cabins, located in the following categories: Ocean Suite (4), Premium Suite (4), Havana Cabana (3), Balcony (39), Oceanview (6), and Interior (24).

Two complimentary movie channels run films every three hours starting at 12 noon—one showing PG-13 favorites and the other G/PG-rated family favorites. ESPN and ESPN 2 are shown only on large screens at the Sports Bar and Seaside Theatre. TV connection ports are disabled to prevent linking with personal devices.

• Bathroom amenities vary, so guests are encouraged to bring personal toiletries. Samples may include toothpaste, mouthwash, floss, body lotion, razors, and antacids. Showers feature wall-mounted dispensers for liquid soap and shampoo.
• The new Carnival beds are custom-made in Europe and include 100% cotton "New Generation" pillows, hypoallergenic satin-striped duvets, high-quality cotton sheets and pillowcases, and 8-inch (20 cm) spring mattresses ("Carnival Comfort").

Bathrobes (2) are included in all suites and Cloud 9 Spa cabins/suites. In other staterooms, bathrobes are provided upon request during the first evening turndown service. They can be purchased for $49 (adult) and $24 (children ages 2–4 and 6–8).
• Lifejackets are for emergency use only and are stored in cabin closets. Sizes include adult, child, and infant.
• Each stateroom has a safe in the closet (approx. dimensions in inches/cm: 10/25 wide, 9/23 high, 8/20 deep). Safes can be accessed using any magnetic stripe card. Guests are advised to use an expired or rewards card instead of an active credit card or ID. Some safes use a keypad. All safes can be opened by ship security.

Carnival Cruise Line allows guests to customize steward service—choosing morning, evening, or twice-daily cleanings.
