Showers have wall-mounted dispensers with liquid soap and shampoo. Electric outlets are located at the desk/vanity area—one 110V (3-pronged, US grounded) and one 220V (European standard). The bathroom's 2-pin plug is for electric razors only.

The Carnival Comfort beds are manufactured in Europe exclusively for the company. Each bed includes custom pillows ("New Generation Pillows," 100% cotton), hypoallergenic satin-striped duvets and pillowcases, deluxe cotton sheets, and 8-inch (20 cm) spring mattresses. Alternative non-allergenic bedding includes 100% polyester blankets, 60/40 cotton-polyester sheets and pillowcases, and 100% cotton pillows. Trundle beds do not use Carnival Comfort mattresses.

Carnival-logoed beach towels are provided in all cabins for use ashore and are available for purchase ($22). Suites come with two bathrobes. Additional bathrobes can be requested. For all other accommodations, bathrobes are provided upon request during the first evening's turndown service. Bathrobes can also be purchased: $49 (adult size), $24 (children's sizes for ages 2-4 and 6-8).

Each stateroom safe (located in the closet) measures approximately 10 in (25 cm) wide, 9 in (23 cm) high, and 8 in (20 cm) deep. Safes can be accessed with any magnetic stripe card; it is recommended to use an old or inactive card instead of a valid credit card or driver’s license. Some safes have keypads for personal codes. Ship security can open all safes if needed. Lifejackets (adult, child, and infant sizes) are located in the closets and are to be used in emergencies only—not at ship pools.

Mini-bars in each cabin are stocked with premium liquors ($6–9.25), beer ($6.25), energy drinks ($5), sodas ($2), and bottled water ($3.75). In-cabin babysitting is not offered. Cribs are available upon request. Complimentary high chairs and booster seats are provided in the Main Dining Rooms.

Designated smoking areas on Carnival Fascination include: Diamonds Are Forever Nightclub (excluding the dance floor), Casino (designated areas), and Casino Bar. Outdoor smoking (including cigars and tobacco pipes) is allowed on Deck 10 starboard, near the main pool area.

The Sail & Sign card functions as both the onboard credit account and stateroom key. This cashless card allows all onboard purchases and gratuities to be charged to a personal account. The card is issued to all passengers, including minors, upon boarding. Balances can be checked at the Guest Services desk or via the smart TV in each stateroom.

Depending on satellite reception, complimentary in-cabin TV programming includes: ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, CNN (Domestic, International, Español), TCM (classic movies), Boomerang, Cartoon Network, TNT, TBS.

Sporting events (ESPN, ESPN2) are only shown on large screens at the Sports Bar and Seaside Theatre. TV connection ports are disabled and cannot be used with personal devices.

Funville@Sea is a complimentary intranet service providing onboard activity schedules, bar and restaurant menus, deck plans, Fun Times newsletter, FunAshore tour guides, cruise news, itinerary-related weather reports, and an onboard social network for passenger tracking and messaging. Access is available via in-cabin infotainment systems and FunHub stations throughout the ship.

Suite guests enjoy perks such as: priority embarkation, debarkation, and tendering; priority Main Dining Room reservations; complimentary bottled water; one free bag of laundry per cruise; and enhanced turndown service.

Since 2017, Carnival offers a customizable steward service program, allowing guests to choose morning, evening, or twice-daily cabin service. Guests can request additional amenities like bathrobes, extra pillows, blankets, and hangers. They may also specify how often bed linens should be changed. A selection card is provided in each cabin; if no selection is made, the default service is twice daily.
