Insider Tips for Interior Cabins
Even in the smallest spaces, these tips can help you maximize your comfort and enjoyment in an interior cabin:
Request a Top Sheet: Not all cruisers prefer Carnival’s default duvet setup. A top sheet can provide a lighter sleeping option.
Nightlight Solution: Interior cabins lack natural light, so bring a small battery-operated nightlight to navigate the cabin at night.
Magnetic Hooks: Cabin walls are metal, making magnetic hooks a great way to add extra hanging space for clothes, hats, or accessories.
Ask for Ice Service: Request an ice bucket from your steward to keep drinks cool in your cabin.
Extra Hangers: If you’re bringing a lot of clothes, ask your steward for extra hangers to make the most of your closet space.
Morning Light Hack: Set the TV to display the ship’s forward camera channel overnight to simulate a window view when you wake up.
Soundproofing Tip: Bring earplugs or a white noise app/device to block out hallway noise, especially in high-traffic areas.
Advantages of Interior Cabins
Affordability: Interior cabins are the most economical choice, allowing you to spend more on experiences and excursions.
Darkness: Perfect for those who enjoy a completely dark sleeping environment.
Temperature Control: Without windows, interior cabins tend to maintain a consistent temperature.
Potential Drawbacks
No Natural Light: The lack of windows means you won’t have a view or natural daylight.
Smaller Space: Interior cabins are compact and may feel cramped for larger groups.
Location Noise: Some interior cabins near high-traffic areas may experience more noise.
