Our room had no windows. In the future, I’d also reserve an ocean-view room for the adults.
An ocean-view room typically costs a few hundred dollars more than an interior one, though it depends on the ship and time of year.
I packed two power strips to avoid having to take turns using the outlet, but only one made it on board. Unfortunately, the crew confiscated the other one.
Carnival’s website says power strips without surge protectors are allowed, but ones that the crew deems hazardous will be removed and returned to the owner on the last day of the cruise before disembarkation.
However, the kids had no issues bringing their power strip into their cabin.
The rooms had thermostats with moving dials, but turning them didn’t seem to affect the temperature of our spaces.
Our cabin seemed a bit too cold, and the kids’ space seemed slightly too warm.
Our cabins were small but offered a lot of storage that made them feel more spacious.
Next time we cruise or go on a vacation, I’ll consider booking separate rooms for adults and kids so everyone has their own private retreat.
