  • Carnival Cruise ships have a variety of staterooms. How do you know which one to pick? Today we are looking at a specialty stateroom on board some Carnival Cruise ships. It is always hard to pick a stateroom type and Carnival has brought in a new class to the mix, the Havana stateroom. We had never heard of them before and we were a bit skeptical. On our last Carnival Cruise we decided to give it a try. We are going to tell you what it is, take you on a room tour and give you our overall thoughts so you can decide if Havana staterooms are worth the extra cost.
    Our Carnival Cruise room tour is on board the Carnival Mardi Gras. This is their newest cruise ship with all the latest bells and whistles. We wanted to make this trip special and decided a Havana Carnival Cruise was the way to go. There are lots of perks and benefits but it does come at an extra cost.
    We start our Carnival Cruise review looking at what the Havana cabins are and what is included. There are some perks you might really take advantage of while others you could pass on. We really enjoyed the calm quiet pool and bar area to go to and enjoy the Caribbean breeze. The rooms were nice with a large couch and great balconies.
    One of the biggest Carnival Cruise tips people ask is about the atmosphere on board. There are so many different areas to explore you get to choose whatever atmosphere you want. If you are looking for calm, then being in a Havana stateroom offers you another oasis to relax. We weren’t sure about the Carnival Cruise Havana Cabins because of the walkway at the end of the balcony. It was much quieter than expected and enjoy sitting out there a lot.

    This is a great idea. It would be worth the extra cost to us. Access to a semi-private pool, bar and entertainment events sounds lovely. Thanks for sharing this with us!

    My 22nd cruise, first on Carnival was in a Havana Cabana on the Horizon. Absolutely worth the extra money. Inside cabins are very affordable if you don't mind them. I have another booked on the Horizon in Oct. and just today was looking at March 2024.The crew told me that the Mardi Gras moved the area from the rear on the other ships to the side. People complain about the wind and the fact that the pool is smaller. I hope newer ships move it back to the rear. I don't think I would do Carnival any other way.

      The Havana was amazing! I agree from what I’ve seen the Havana at the back of the ship looks really nice. I can’t wait to cruise with Carnival again. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy travels 🦩

    We had a Havana on Horizon last year and was well worth the extra money! Our next two cruises are Havana on Horizon and Panorama but I would not recommend Havana on Mardi Gras/Celebration/Jubilee as many of those rooms are directly over the theater

    Yes it is. Especially on sea days when the main pool is packed, you have a private pool area. That is the only way we cruise on Carnival.

    I've been hearing that people now are sneaking into the havana pools. We're going in 7 days I'm hoping this isn't the case. Our freinds went last month and on their cruise he was constantly pointing out people to the stewards that didn't pay for a wrist band. Mostly he said it was women with their kids. The bartenders were on top of it stoping or telling people to leave the area. I dont get people sneaking in. If you didn't pay for it why would you take away lounge chairs or beds that people paid for. We paid almost $4,000 for our Havana suite and we booked it twice again in February so I'd like to be able to say it was worth it and do it again. If it's a problem we'll just cancel the second one and book another cruise with RC but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Great Video.

    • @TravelingFlamingo

      That is disappointing to hear. Havana suits are expensive and it would be disappointing to go to the pool area to find no seats. I hope they stay on top of that. Thanks for sharing.

      The extended aft balcony cabins on deck 9 are the ultimate. Way better than deck 5 lanai patios which I've stayed in. Complete privacy, huge balcony and no-one can look down onto your balcony as well...plus a roof for optional shade when you want it.

    Was it really loud in your room from the Havana bar? I seen a review someone said it was the worst room and they couldn’t sleep because it was so loud.

      We did not have any noise but we were on the other side of the ship.
      I could see it being loud if you are the rooms closest to the bar, but we also met people who love those rooms as they are close to the bar and hot tub. Hope that helps. Happy travels 🦩

    I prefer the non Havana Balcony. These Havana Balcony's have 0 privacy. I'm one of those people who don't care to see everyone on the cruise all the time.
