Sporting events (ESPN, ESPN2) are shown only at the Sports Bar and Seaside Theatre. TV input ports are disabled, so guests cannot connect personal devices.

Carnival’s beds are Europe-manufactured exclusively for the line. The bedding includes trademarked "New Generation Pillows" (100% cotton), hypoallergenic duvets, satin-striped covers and pillowcases, high-quality cotton sheets, and 8-inch spring mattresses ("Carnival Comfort"). Non-allergenic bedding options are also available, including 100% polyester blankets and pillowcases (60/40 cotton-polyester). Trundle beds do not feature Carnival Comfort mattresses.

The Sail & Sign card functions as both a stateroom key and a cashless onboard credit account. It is required for all purchases and gratuities onboard. Cash is only accepted in the casino. Each passenger (including minors) receives a card upon boarding. Account balances can be checked at the Guest Services desk or via the smart TV.

Carnival-logoed beach towels are provided in each cabin for use ashore and are available for purchase at $22. Bathrobes (two) are included in all suites and Spa cabins. Other guests may request bathrobes during turndown service on the first evening. Additional robes are available upon request. Robes are available for purchase at $49 (adults) and $24 (children, sizes 2–4 and 6–8).

Life jackets (for emergency use only) are stored in all cabins (closet) and available in three sizes—adult, child, and infant.

Each cabin safe is located in the closet and measures approximately 10"x9"x8" (25x23x20 cm). Safes operate with any magnetic strip card. Guests are advised to use expired cards or loyalty cards instead of active credit cards. Some safes feature keypads with personal codes. Ship security can also open all safes if necessary.

All cabin mini-bars are stocked with premium liquors ($6–9.25), beer ($6.25), energy drinks ($5), soft drinks ($2), and bottled water ($3.75).

If no preferences are selected, service is provided twice daily by default.
