I wasn't sure would we love it or would we hate it would it be too loud would there be foot traffic would there be a lack of privacy

I found it incredibly relaxing so to get to a couple of questions was there a lack of privacy well yes in a way there is a lack of privacy

it was probably been one of my favorite cabins that I've ever had so was it worth it to us honestly it was

I know this cabin is not going to be for everyone

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pay attention to cabin location relative to the bar area to avoid potential noise and foot traffic
Request Havana branded bath robes from your cabin attendant if not provided
Consider using deck chairs outside your cabin to get away from crowds

YouTube Video Description

There's no such thing as a truly bad cabin on a cruise. However, there are cabins that come with pros & cons to be aware of. On our recent cruise, we stayed in a controversial cabana balcony cabin on Carnival Celebration. This cabin has some great features, but the location has a lack of privacy & I didn't know if it would be worth it! Carnival Excel cruise ships have unique Havana cabana cabins. The balcony cabins have large patios with a porch swing, lounge chair & table. These staterooms also have access to the Havana bar, outdoor seating area, splash pool and a private area for 98 inside cabins and balconies. In this video I share what to expect from a Havana cabana cabin on Carnival Celebration, Mardi Gras & Jubilee. You'll also learn what amenities are included with the Carnival Havana rooms. We stayed in cabin 8276, on the port side of Carnival Celebration. Was it worth it & would we book this cruise ship cabin again? Here's everything cruisers need to know about the cabin. If you're cruising with Carnival Cruise Line & thinking about booking these cruise ship cabins, this is a must-watch. 🛳 THE ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER 🛳 Get the Life Well Cruised ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER ($10 off for a limited time).
