The Carnival Sail & Sign card acts as a cashless onboard credit account and stateroom key. This card allows charges for purchases and gratuities to be added to a personal account during the cruise. Cash is only accepted in the casino. Each guest, including minors, receives a card upon boarding. Account balances can be checked at the Guest Services desk or via the in-room smart TV.

The interactive TV system allows guests to order room service, check their Sail & Sign account, and watch on-demand movies (approximately 25 available at USD 5 each; adult content is USD 10). Based on satellite availability, complimentary in-cabin TV programming includes ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, CNN, TCM, Boomerang, Cartoon Network, TNT, and TBS. Two complimentary movie channels show family and PG-13 films every three hours starting at noon. Carnival-exclusive channels include Fun Finds TV, Cruise Director, Fun Aboard, Park West Art, Shore Tours, Ship Position, webcams, Audible Funtimes, Photo, and Music. ESPN and ESPN 2 are shown only on the big screens at the Sports Bar and Seaside Theatre. All in-room TV connection ports are disabled to prevent use with personal devices.

Bathroom amenities may vary, so guests are advised to bring personal toiletries. Sample items may include toothpaste, mouthwash, dental floss, body lotion, razor, and antacids. Showers feature wall-mounted dispensers for liquid soap and shampoo. Power outlets are located in the desk/vanity area (one 110V US and one 220V European outlet). Bathrooms include a 2-pin outlet for electric razors only.

Carnival beds are European-manufactured exclusively for the line and include New Generation Pillows (100% cotton), hypoallergenic satin-striped duvets and sheets, and 8-inch (20 cm) Carnival Comfort spring mattresses. Alternative hypoallergenic bedding is available upon request. Note: trundle beds do not use Carnival Comfort mattresses.

Carnival-logoed beach towels are provided in each cabin and can be taken ashore. Additional towels are available for purchase ($22). Bathrobes are provided in all suites and Spa cabins, and are available upon request in other accommodations during evening turndown service. Robes are also available for purchase ($49 adult, $24 child sizes).

Life jackets, located in each stateroom closet, are for emergency use only. They are available in adult, child, and infant sizes. Safes are also located in closets and measure approximately 10x9x8 inches (25x23x20 cm). They can be accessed using any magnetic strip card, though guests are advised to use an expired or rewards card rather than a valid credit card or license. Some safes use keypads and can be accessed by ship security if needed.

All mini-bars are stocked with premium liquors ($6–9.25), beer ($6.25), energy drinks ($5), soft drinks ($2), and bottled water ($3.75). In-cabin babysitting is not available. Complimentary cribs are available upon request. Main Dining Rooms provide complimentary high chairs and booster seats.

Funville@Sea is a complimentary onboard intranet service providing access to daily schedules, bar and restaurant menus, deck maps, the Fun Times newsletter, shore excursion information, Carnival news, weather updates, and a social network for messaging and tracking other guests. It is accessible via in-room infotainment systems and FunHub stations around the ship.

Current daily gratuities are USD 12.95 per person for standard cabins and USD 13.95 for suites. Suite guests also enjoy perks such as priority embarkation/debarkation/tendering, priority dining room reservations, complimentary bottled water, a complimentary bag of laundry (once per cruise), and enhanced turndown service.

Since 2017, Carnival offers guests the option to customize cabin steward service: morning only, evening only, or twice daily. Additional amenities such as extra pillows, blankets, bathrobes, and hangers can be requested. Guests may also indicate how frequently bed linens should be changed. Preferences are selected via a service menu card placed in each cabin. If no selection is made, default service is twice daily.
