Here’s a look at Carnival Mardi Gras room 9423.

I think that stateaterooms on the Excel ships have kind of been shrunk down and that also goes for the suites.

Still though, this is a generously sized room and it's a great choice if you're traveling with more than two people because you have this separate area which affords some privacy.

Now, there is a major flaw with rooms on the ninth deck, which is that your balcony view is obstructed by this large white awning.

I was impressed with the storage space and the bathroom was pretty nice, too.
