Carnival Liberty accommodations

Staterooms

Carnival Liberty's cabins occupy the usual Carnival range (no surprises here), and are pleasantly larger than industry average from insides on up.

In cabins from the inside category to standard balcony and including picture window, decor is a pleasant amalgam of peachy and soft yellow tones. Insides come with chairs; all others have a seating area with a sofa (some are pull-outs) and coffee table. One way in which Carnival distinguishes itself is by offering beds that convert from twins to a king (other cruise lines use more narrow twins that, doubled, equal a queen). Beds are outfitted with soft linens and duvets.

On the technology front, beyond in-cabin wireless Internet access, there's an interactive television system that offers everything from pay-per-view movies to reservation capabilities. Color televisions with remotes, safes (Carnival recommends you use a credit card to lock them instead of your room key, making it impossible to secure that particular credit card), filled mini-fridges (price cards are offered), and phones with voice mail fill out the rest of the amenities. Storage was excellent.

All bathrooms in these categories feature only showers (with the type of shower curtain that seems to know how to snake its way around you, and a note: Make sure it's tucked inside or you'll flood the floor). Mirrors above the sink are flanked with shelves for toiletries. A sampling of free items is offered (it changes; ours included razors, dental floss and the dubious innovation of Crest orange-flavored toothpaste -- though, since we forgot ours, we weren't too choosy). Showers dispense gel and shampoo from anchored containers. Towels provided were not only generous in quantity but also quite nice in quality.

Balconies, for those standard cabins that have them, are pretty shallow but the furnishings are nice: one mesh adjustable chair, one regular chair and a small table.

This ship, likes it siblings, offers family-friendly accommodations, most notably with floor-to-ceiling windows.

Suites are not quite twice the size of balcony cabins, but plenty roomy. Beyond the extra space, there are more bells and whistles, such as bathrooms with tubs and televisions with VCR's.

Every Carnival guest is assured of spacious, comfortable accommodations. All staterooms offer carpeting, ample drawer and closet space, private facilities (shower, basin and toilet), telephone and color television showing first-run films. Our SuperLiners all feature staterooms above ocean level for a more comfortable cruise.
