Creator's Key Takeaways

The cabin will show you a picture of that room but that picture is the same picture that they use for every single room

The rooms that do not have adjoining cabins are staggered so as you can see in the pictures one room is by the door the next room is by the window

Contact your travel agent ask them if they can reach out to carnival carnival will actually send an email to the cruise ship to the stateroom cabin steward

Creator's Tips & Advice

Contact your travel agent to have them reach out to Carnival so a cabin steward can verify the specific room layout for you.

YouTube Video Description

Hi Friends, Balcony State Rooms - Huge change on the Excellence Class Ships.. Nobody in the community is talking about this... Maybe it's not a big deal? OK, so the balconies have always been the same on every cruise, no matter which class of ship we have been on. Rectangular, Bed by Window, Sofa across from vanity with table in the middle. Carnival's Website shows the layout one way, but when you get on board, you may be in for a shocker. Trick to figure it out: I figured this out after posting the video. Download the Ships Deck plan. Go to the 2nd page (Black and White page). Grayed out cabins have the beds by the door. These cabins are not scooter accessible, Let us know: Bed by the door or window... What is your preference, or does it not matter?
