Gamecock_Cruiser Posted May 7 #1 Share Posted May 7 Does anyone else feel that this is another Carnival cut back? Increasing the temperature around the ship and rooms to save on energy costs or something? Our list 3-4 cruises, the ships have been rather warm. Our cabin rarely seems to get below 73-74 degrees now, and maintenance always says that is normal. Even when our cabin was 77-79 degrees two cruises ago, they said anything below 80 was acceptable! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just off the Vista and we had to turn the temperature up in the cabin because it was too cold. Public areas were very comfortable. 😎 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I bring a hoodie and never use it, but this trip I forgot it and it would have come in handy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfs2k Posted May 7 #4 Share Posted May 7 It sounds like everyone has different experiences, but if they can save on energy costs by adjusting the temperature a few degrees, they should. It's low hanging fruit in cost control. Obviously, guest comfort is important too, so if you feel it's been warm, send a complaint. Maybe they're taking it too far.

Knights on the Beach Posted May 7 #5 Share Posted May 7 Our room on Vista last month could have been slightly cooler but it wasn't so warm that we were uncomfortable so we didn't say anything. On the other hand, Heroes Bar was so cold I couldn't stay there long. Every other place we went on the ship, I thought the temperature was perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseman38 Posted May 7 #6 Share Posted May 7 Do not agree with this. We have been on some really cold ships lately. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanadaydreaming Posted May 7 #7 Share Posted May 7 ive heard pro and con with the onboard temperatures, perhaps some of it is random occurence? i, for one, love it to be chilly when in hot and humid climates. my wife likes it warmer than me. we havent had any issues on CCL historically. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock_Cruiser Posted May 7 Author #8 Share Posted May 7 Maybe it is just the cruises that i have been on. We keep our A/C on 70, and the ships use to seem fine to us, but lately, they have been warmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted May 7 #9 Share Posted May 7 Our cabin was in the 60s our entire last cruise. It's been a long time since we've had a cabin that we considered warm and never anything approaching 80 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierpop Posted May 7 #10 Share Posted May 7 I’m guessing it depends on the cabin and location because our last 5-6 cruises, my wife has said the rooms are actually too cold on the lowest setting. Which is shocking to me. And it could be because it’s newer ships (MG, Celebration, Horizon). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiansbaseball Posted May 7 #11 Share Posted May 7 No, that wasn’t our experience. Just off Magic and I had to turn it way up. I’m never cold ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Diamond event (a breakfast with senior staff) I sat with the chief engineer, who explained the HVAC system and how much more balanced it was and easier to cool (or heat) the ship. If was clear how proud he was of the system in his explanation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vwrestler171 Posted May 8 #18 Share Posted May 8 I've never had what I consider a "cool" room on Carnival. Each room is warm and I use a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Raven Posted May 8 #20 Share Posted May 8 On my last several cruises on the Magic, the cabin temperature ranged from comfortable to downright chilly if you didn't watch it. Public areas were all comfortable except the theater, which was actually cold. I worked for a mechanical contractor for 43 years, so I am always somewhat interested in the HVAC workings on the ships. I am looking forward to my first Excel ship experience with my b2b on Mardi Gras in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamecock_Cruiser Posted May 8 Author #22 Share Posted May 8 I need to jump to the newer larger ships then! My last few cruises have been on the Elation and Sunshine, and the A/C isn't get on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted May 8 #23 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Horizon was comfortable. I would struggle to sleep if it was 73. I need 70 or lower. Edited May 8 by Saint Greg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory has been one less closet. larger AC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mamiamjo Posted May 8 #25 Share Posted May 8 (edited) We had a cabin on the Breeze in 2022 that would never cool very well (and this was in November). We had maintenance come look at it but they said it was normal. I think they measured it at 74F, which is ok during the day, but not really good for sleeping. We were with another couple whose cabin was noticeably cooler than ours so we knew it wasn't the system as a whole but probably something with that particular cabin. We've sailed on the Breeze again twice in 2023 and once this year without problem but we made sure we got a different cabin 🙂 Edited May 8 by mamiamjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
