spcopps Posted May 9, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2012 No suite on Carnival offer a private hot tub, sorry. The largest suite will be the captains suite on some ships (2 available all the way forward) followed by the Grand suite on all ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT carnival balcony cabins are bigger then the princess and feature a sofa (where on princess you need to book a mini suite to get the sofa. Carnival suites have jetted bathtubs- I would not put it in the same category as a jacuzzi. and not private hot tub on the balconies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mizLORInj Posted May 18, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2012 We had aft extended balcony cabin (category 8M) on Freedom last week and we had a lounger and two chairs on the balcony. Suite balconies will be wider, not necessarily deeper, but will have loungers. An OS cabin on Freedom/Valor is about 1.5x regular cabin width, and the GS is 2x cabin.

Suites are much cheaper on Carnival for a reason but quite frankly I can buy a heck of a lot of alcohol with the difference in price between Princess suite price and Carnival suite price. I find Balconys on Carnival to be quite roomy and comfortable and quite a value for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SraLiz Posted May 26, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 26, 2012 We had a suite on the Valor 2 summers ago. The best part about it was the fact the whole family could actually board with us in the VIP line. I did love the dressing area and bathroom, but other than that we thought the actual room was super small. It was cramped when the 6 of us were in there while planning our daily activities etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
