Cabins on Carnival Festivale

Carnival Festivale offers four distinct cabin grades, ranging from a compact inside cabin to the ship's largest suite — so there is a sensible option at every budget and group size.

The Carnival Excel Presidential Suite SV with outdoor shower is the largest suite on board at 45 m², with separate sleeping and living areas, an upper Pullman berth, and its own outdoor shower. It sleeps two and is the standout choice for guests who want space and privacy above all else.

The Cove Balcony cabin 7C is classified as a suite grade and measures 19 m². It sleeps up to four and includes a private balcony — the outdoor space and sea view that inside and ocean-view guests do not have. At that size it works well for couples and small families alike. For full details on layouts and where each grade sits across the ship's eleven decks, the Carnival Festivale cabins and deck plans page has everything you need.

The Ocean-view cabin 6A is an outside cabin with a large, unobstructed window — the fastest way to bring natural light and sea views into your room without the cost of a balcony.

For the most value-driven choice, the Inside cabin 4B offers 15 m² with ample storage — a practical amount of living space for a trip of up to ten nights — and sleeps up to four, making it a popular pick for family cruises.
