I’ve never traveled with a family since I only have a husband and no kids – just happily savoring life. But I’ve observed families on every cruise I’ve been on and found some great rooms for four people on Carnival cruise.
So buckle up, my cruise fellows, because things are going to be interesting. I’ll discuss each room with 4 people, along with its specialties, so that you can easily choose the one that caters to your needs.

Which Carnival Rooms Are Perfect For Four People?
On Carnival cruises, they’ve got rooms for everyone. But if you’re cruising with your family (of four people), Carnival Staterooms are awesome for four people.
They have two twin beds turning into a king-size bed, and some even have extra pull-down or sofa beds for your two extra guests. you need to know about these special rooms that sleep up to four people.

1- Interior Rooms/Inside Staterooms
Interior staterooms on Carnival cruises are your wallet’s best friend! They’re the smallest, budget-friendly spaces onboard, fitting 2-5 guests.
Talking about their size, it depends on the ship and category of the room. But I’ve seen it’s between 155 and 185 square feet.
Now, the main thing is their bed numbers. So most have 2 twins turning into a king, while some also have pullman beds to accommodate the other two guests.
Upper/Lower rooms have a single twin bed and either a Pullman or a sofa bed.
In short, these cozy rooms are perfect for enjoying Carnival fun without separating from your kiddos.

I’ve been in these rooms, and trust me, they’re way comfier and more spacious than regular ones.
What’s most amazing is their outdoor space (Balcony), which adds the touch of luxury you’ll love.
I had the most romantic evening with my hubby out there. These balconies are perfect for creating magical moments due to their romantic ambiance!
And here’s the best part – these rooms can easily fit up to 5 of yours, and everyone gets their own space.
In short, if you’re all about fresh air and creating quality moments with your loved ones, Balcony rooms are the perfect pick.

Depending on the suite, you can enjoy perks like priority check-in, boarding, and debarkation, as well as choosing your preferred dining times and even free laundry.
They also sleep up to five people, but not every suite. Some only sleep up to 2 people, so it’s important to double-check the one you’re booking to avoid any later hassle.

Cloud 9 Spas, like all Carnival spas, offer tons of treatments, from massages to facials and more.

7- Havana Rooms
Havana Rooms come with lots of perks and feel more like a fancy island resort than a regular ship room.
You get access to a cool pool area just for guests above 12, so it’s a nice, quiet spot.
But honestly, they aren’t my top pick because there’s a walkway between your balcony and the ship’s edge, which can kinda mess with your privacy.
So, it’s your call. Just remember, these rooms are made for two guests, not four, so make sure to let them know your crew size.
Following are some types of Havana staterooms:
- Spa-like atmosphere
- Thermal Suite access
- Extra Perks
- ELEMIS bath products
Why To Choose Havana Rooms?
- Island Resort feel
