Any time, right up to you showing up at the port and the porter looking up your cabin number andĀ attachingĀ a luggage tag. Most of the time you will get it beforeĀ embarkation day.

We upgraded this week to a Balc. Gty from a previously assigned Oceanview at a few dollars per day.Ā  We were assigned today,Ā 48 hours before boarding, and got an absolutely premuim balc on deck #9, literally where I would have booked if paying full price.Ā  It's a myth that you necessarily end up 'by the kitchen', especially now with ships less than full.

To answer your primary question, usually assignment takes place a couple weeks before the cruise up to a month but the range is practically anytime up until the pier.

Cove balconies are on the Dream directly below the galley. We experienced the "bowling ball" effect almost every night from around 2:00-2:30. The wife slept through it, but it woke me up every night. I believe our cabin # was 2375.

I book a "TBD" room=huh

  • Thread starter horsegoer
  • Start date Dec 9, 2007
  • Dec 9, 2007

I booked a to be determined room on Carnival. Basically they are going to choose my balcony room. They said there is a chance of an upgrade. This has me worried as I just called back and there are no rooms available that I can choose from and now I have to wait for my assignment from Carnvial. Has anyone had an experience with this booking? Thanks.  

Most of my 20 cruises were in guarantee [what you call "to be determined"] staterooms.I have never had any major problems. If you need a specific cabin/location for any reason, a "guarantee" isn't a good idea. If you chose a "balcony guarantee" you will get, at minimum, a balcony cabin somewhere on the ship. You may/may not know the exact cabin prior to embarkation.  

  • Dec 11, 2007

Hi I booked a TBA balcony Cabin and we said n Jan 19/08 and we just recieved our cabin # we were upgraded a cpl catigories which is fine with me and I am quite happy with the location on the Ship.  

  • Dec 23, 2007

I booked a TBA room also on the Celebration. I received a upgrade to the 5th floor. I will continue to do this in the future!  

  • Dec 24, 2007

=yeah You usually get a lower price by booking a GTY with the trade off that the cruise line assigns the cabin. Our last cruise we booked an inside guarantee because it was last minute and that's all they had left. We were actually upgraded to an obstructed ocean view with a very minimal obstruction.

Re: I book a "TBD" room=huh I booked a tba cabin, I tried following what had been said on here to find out the cabin # but alas, no deal. I registered, completed our funpass, everything. I can't purchase anything because I don't have my cabin number. Any suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

Re: I book a "TBD" room=huh Have you actually called Carnival customer service or actually called the bon voyage service rather than just working on line? There has to be a way to handle this from their end. Your other post says you are 40 days out, they should have you settled in by now.

Re: I book a "TBD" room=huh A "TBA" cabin might not be assigned until embarkation day. I've had that happen more than once. You check with the porters that have the ships manifest to get your room number for your luggage tags and you go to will call to check in. Now you could probably do that online the night before. It is unusual for a cabin to be assigned that late in the game, but it does happen. We look to book aft balconies, but we rarely book a year out so they are often not available. When that's the case we book an 8A or better TBA. Never had a problem. Never got an 8A either, always an 8 with a higher letter. But that's not an upgrade in my book. Just the same cabin in a different location. TBA=TBD

Re: I book a "TBD" room=huh Well, this is an old thread but a good topic. There is one down side to booking a guarantee. First of all, once Carnival assigns a cabin it is their policy that will absolutely not change the assignment. On our last cruise our cabin was directly above the lounge in the casino. The bass giutar from the raggae band rattled the picture frame in our room. It was really loud. Fortunately the ship was not full and I was able to persuade them to move us after a couple of days but I will think twice before booking a guarantee again.

Re: I book a "TBD" room=huh I also have a guarantee balcony for my Feb 27 Glory cruise. I also ordered liquer from Bon Voyage... they ALL go by your booking number NOT cabin number for any special deliveries etc. I wouldn't worry about the actual cabin since you paid for a specific category and will most likely get upgraded. But even if not, you still get what you paid for. :beach:

Re: I book a "TBD" room=huh They said there is a chance of an upgrade. Who was they ? We did the G 5 times and got the cat we paid for every time. What cat you book is what you will get somewhere. Today its upsell calls to go up a cat. We now pick our rooms. Our G were all over the place from all the way up front to the rear. We are back to booking the room, you don't save enough to take the chance of a room you will not like. Most times we did't know the room number till we got to the port. Then its good luck. To us going up a deck is not a upgrade, I want to go up a cat thats a upgrade. Never happened.

It's been a long time since doing TBA BL room. When do you know when you get your room number? Trying to decide when to print our boarding passes. We just booked the Liberty for the Jan. 13th.Ā Ā

Great Review

Banditswife

It can be as late as embarkation day.Ā  But usually sooner.Ā  Check your boarding pass & see if cabin # is there.

Okay thanks, so I'll just check in the morning or late the night before.

Wow, just checked. Looks like they assign us already...

Cool Cruiser

VERY interested in what kind of cabin they assigned you. Good location, etc. Was looking to book a cruise on a sold out ship with only TBA cabins. Wary of doing that. Your feedback will be appreciated.

You should be wary.Ā  Experienced cruisers know to avoid undesirable rooms but someone is going to end up in them and that's those who went with a guaranteeĀ

We have booked lasted minute cruises a few times, never really had a bad room. This time we were assigned on the 6th deck and no where near a public area. On the Liberty our room is 6421. Doesn't seem to be a bad location.Ā 

Only a couple of times we got bad locations and we picked them. Most times we try not to get near public locations and these times we did and realize it was to much noise. But only during certain times of the day was an issue. But never have gotten a bad location were there was noise all the time, like from an engine or something like that.Ā 

Frankly unless you have to have a "must have room or location" then don't do what we did. We probably have cruised around 20 times and yes sometimes we picked locations for our rooms, some times not. Only a couple of times like I said didn't work out to well, but only during certain times of the day.Ā 

This was a very much last minute trip. Booked yesterday and going on the 13th.Ā  We were going to book the 10th, but the price wasn't right for us.Ā

Everything you want to know about cabins and suites on Carnival Cruise Line ships

Gene Sloan

Picking a cabin on a Carnival Cruise Line ship isn't nearly as complicated as picking a cabin on, say, a Royal Caribbean or a Celebrity Cruises ship.

Unlike some of its biggest competitors, Carnival isn't known for a huge range of cabin categories on its vessels.

That means that when you're trying to find the best Carnival cruise ship cabin for you, you'll have an easier time than you will when booking with some other lines.

The vast majority of the accommodations on Carnival ships fall into one of three broad buckets: Windowless "inside" cabins, oceanview cabins and balcony cabins.

For more cruise guides, news and tips, sign up for TPG's cruise newsletter .

You'll find relatively few suites on Carnival ships. Each of the vessels in Carnival's recent Vista-class series, for instance, offer fewer than 75 suites. Each of the line's earlier Conquest-class ships have around 50 suites. The oldest Fantasy-class vessels have 28 suites and 26 junior suites.

This is in part due to Carnival's focus on offering an affordable product. The typical Carnival customer isn't in the market for a super fancy, high-priced suite.

Related: The ultimate guide to Carnival Cruise Line

That said, Carnival has seen the success that some of its competitors have had with a bigger range of upscale accommodations, and it's eyeing more suites for future vessels. The line's two newest ships, Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration , each have 180 suites ā€” more than twice the number found on the vessels Carnival was unveiling a few years ago.

Note that Carnival's two oldest ships ā€” those that are part of the 1990s-built Fantasy Class ā€” have relatively few balcony cabins by today's standards. (After retrofitting, they have around 150 balcony cabins, out of a total of more than 1,000 cabins in all.) In part because of this, Carnival has been phasing Fantasy-class ships out of its fleet in recent years.

A Carnival Cruise Line cabin primer

cruise room tba

As is typical for many cruise ships, Carnival vessels offer cabins in four broad categories: Windowless "inside" cabins, oceanview cabins, balcony cabins and suites.

On newer Carnival ships, a significant portion of cabins are balcony cabins ā€” the rooms everyone wants these days. But the ratio of balcony cabins to non-balcony cabins on Carnival's newer ships isn't nearly as high as on the newer ships of some rival lines such as Royal Caribbean.

About 44% of the 2,004 cabins on Carnival's Carnival Panorama (launched in 2019) are balcony cabins, for instance. Compare that to the 65% of cabins on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas (launched in 2018) that are balcony cabins.

As noted above, Carnival ships also have fewer suites than you'll find on the ships of some of its rival lines. By contrast, the line's newer ships have a higher percentage of inside cabins than you'll find on the newer ships of some rival lines.

Here's a breakdown of the broad cabin categories on Carnival Panorama, which is typical of the line's newer ships:

Inside cabins: 789 (39%) Oceanview cabins: 254 (13%) Balcony cabins: 891 (44%) Suites: 70 (3%)

On older Carnival ships (and, in general, all older cruise ships), there are far fewer balcony cabins. Fewer than 10% of cabins on the line's two oldest vessels, Carnival Paradise and Carnival Elation, are balcony cabins. The two ships date to 1998.

On both Carnival Paradise and Carnival Elation, inside cabins and ocean-view cabins make up the majority (nearly 90%) of accommodations, and suites account for fewer than 10% of rooms. Here is the breakdown for Carnival Paradise:

Inside cabins: 420 (40%) Oceanview cabins: 466 (44%) Balcony cabins: 98 (9%) Suites: 78 (7%)

The takeaway here is that you'll have a tougher time locking down a balcony cabin on an older Carnival ship than on a newer vessel. If you're planning a cruise on one of the line's older vessels and a balcony cabin is a must, you'll want to book early to make sure you get one.

You'll also want to book early if you're aiming for a suite ā€” particularly if you want one of the best suites on a Carnival ship. An old saw in the cruise industry is that "ships sell from the top and the bottom." That is, the first cabins on any vessel to sell out are the most expensive cabins, which are the suites, and the least expensive cabins, which typically are the inside cabins. The "middle" sells last.

Design-wise, Carnival's cabins and suites are fairly basic and comfortable, if not super stylish. Cabins on recently unveiled or overhauled vessels mostly have a soothing palette of creams and blues. Cabinetry in these rooms is a crisp and clean faux wood. Cabin bathrooms are neutral.

One exception is the new Carnival Venezia , which has a darker (faux) wood finish to furniture in cabins that ties into the ship's Italy theme.

Inside cabins on Carnival Cruise Line ships

Inside cabins are the cabins you stay in when you're on a tight budget. On any Carnival ship, they almost always are the least-expensive option when you're booking a cabin, and you often can save considerable money by booking an inside cabin versus an ocean-view or higher-level cabin.

What you'll give up, of course, is that ocean view. Your room will have four walls and no windows offering a glimpse of the outside world.

On many cruise ships, inside cabins are smaller than oceanview and balcony cabins. But on Carnival ships, that's not always the case. On Carnival Panorama, for instance, most inside cabins measure 185 square feet. That's the same size as the interior area of some oceanview and most balcony cabins on the ship (not including the extra square footage from the balcony).

Related: Why inside cabins aren't as bad as you think

Inside cabins on Royal Caribbean's new Wonder of the Seas , by contrast, measure just 149 square feet ā€” quite a bit less than the inside cabins on Carnival Panorama.

Note that, in a quirk of the cabin categorization system at Carnival, there are a few inside cabins on some Carnival ships that do, indeed, have a view to the outside world. These cabins either have an obstructed view (often due to lifeboats) or a porthole, such that the view isn't all that great. For that reason, the line classifies them as inside cabins.

Oceanview cabins on Carnival Cruise Line ships

With an oceanview cabin, you get a window looking out to the sea but not an attached balcony where you can sit outside and enjoy the fresh air.

Carnival's newer ships have relatively few such cabins, as generally cabins that face outwards now are built with balconies. But older Carnival ships are loaded with oceanview cabins.

Oceanview cabins on Carnival ships can sometimes be bigger than inside cabins and even bigger than balcony cabins (when comparing their interior space). On Carnival Panorama, some oceanview cabins measure 185 square feet ā€” the same as inside cabins. But there also are bigger "standard" oceanview cabins that measure 220 square feet and "deluxe" oceanview cabins that measure 230 square feet.

Balcony cabins on Carnival Cruise Line ships

Balcony cabins are what everyone wants these days, and Carnival is building its newest ships with far more of them than in the past. As noted above, about 44% of the cabins Carnival Panorama are balcony cabins. But that percentage jumped to 56% on the newer Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration. It will be the same on Carnival Jubilee, a sister vessel to Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration coming out in December 2023.

The typical Carnival balcony cabin has a contemporary look, with clean lines and relatively minimalist furniture. It typically features twin beds that can be converted into a king bed, a built-in desk area and a sofa that often pulls out into an additional bed. Some rooms have pull-down bunks to create more sleeping spaces. Balcony cabins typically measure around 185 square feet, not including the veranda area, which often measures 35 square feet.

cruise room tba

Note that on some Carnival ships, specific categories of balcony cabins have larger balconies than most. These are wonderful for sitting out and watching the waves. Often these rooms are at the back of the ships overlooking the wake.

Related: 6 reasons to book a balcony cabin on your next cruise

For instance, Carnival Panorama has "Family Harbor" and "Havana" balcony cabins with 60-square-foot balconies overlooking the wake. That's 71% more balcony space than the typical balcony cabin on the ship.

Carnival Panorama also has "Havana Cabana" balcony cabins with even bigger, 100-square-foot balconies.

Suites on Carnival Cruise Line ships

As noted above, Carnival ships generally don't offer a lot of suites. For the most part, the suites they have are relatively modest in size and amenities compared to the suites at some of the line's rivals.

The biggest suites on Carnival Panorama, the ship's eight Grand Suites, have 345 square feet of interior space, plus an 85-square-foot balcony. Contrast that to the biggest suites on Royal Caribbean ships, which can measure more than 1,500 square feet.

Suites on Carnival ships also haven't traditionally come with butlers and access to private concierge lounges like the suites on many other vessels.

Related: This amazing new cruise ship suite measures more than 4,000 square feet

Still, some of that has begun to change with the debut of Carnival's new Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration. Carnival went big with the suites on the groundbreaking, 5,282-passenger vessels ā€” the biggest Carnival ships ever.

Unveiled in 2021 and 2022, respectively, Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration each feature two sprawling Presidential Suites that measure 1,120 square feet ā€” bigger than any other accommodations in the line's fleet.

cruise room tba

Located at the top of each ship on Deck 17, the complexes have separate living and sleeping areas and the most expansive balconies in the Carnival fleet ā€” all unusual-for-Carnival features. Measuring more than 600 square feet, the balconies also offer a lounging area with a large sunbed and a private outdoor hot tub and shower.

Related: 7 reasons you should splurge for a suite on a cruise ship

The Presidential Suites are among 180 suites you will find on Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration, the most ever for a Carnival ship.

The two ships have 11 different categories of suites in all, four of which are part of a new premium "Excel" category of suites with extra amenities and access to a new-for-the-line, resort-style enclave at the top of the ships called Loft 19.

cruise room tba

In addition to the two Presidential Suites, the Excel suites include a dozen 861-square-foot Excel Aft Suites that overlook the back of each ship and boast separate living rooms and bedrooms and large wraparound balconies with hot tubs.

Slightly smaller are a dozen 710-square-foot Excel Corner Suites offering separate sleeping and lounging areas and wraparound balconies. A step down are six smaller Excel Suites that measure 614 square feet.

Every one of the suites in those categories is bigger than any suite found on Carnival Panorama.

Passengers staying in all four categories of Excel suites on Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration have access to a dedicated concierge phone line and guaranteed dining times at the extra-charge specialty restaurants found on the ships (except for Japanese eatery Bonsai Teppanyaki and the Chef's Table). Other upgraded amenities for Excel suite passengers include complimentary Bottomless Bubbles soda packages, room service and laundry service, sparkling wine upon arrival and upgraded bathroom toiletries.

The new Loft 19 enclave found on both Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration offers full bar service, a private pool surrounded by sun loungers and cabanas available for rent.

Bottom Line

Fun-focused Carnival offers a solid mix of cabins on its vessels for a range of price points. If you're looking for an inexpensive vacation option, the inside cabins on Carnival ships are more spacious than the inside cabins you'll find on the ships of some rival lines. Oceanview cabins on Carnival ships also can be larger than normal for the category. Balcony cabins on Carnival ships hold their own in size against most competitors. Just don't expect a huge number of suites when sailing with Carnival.

Inside, all Havana staterooms feature a unique dƩcor, but step up to a Havana Cabana for an extra-large outdoor chill space featuring a lounge-ready hammock chair. Step into a Havana Cabana suite for even more space, plus a luxurious rain shower. (All Havana stateroom guests must be 12 or older.)

Terrazza Staterooms

Have you ever thought ā€œmaybe I could live like an Italianā€? Well thereā€™s a place you can kind of try out the lifestyle, at least for one vacation: Terrazza Staterooms aboard a Carnival cruise! Youā€™ll find these aboard any of our Fun Italian Style ships, and the resort layout gives you everything you need for comfort and style in one place. For starters, all the staterooms feature a fresh style insideā€¦ and some add premium open-air benefits like a patio lounging area or balcony. And on a select few, the balcony is ā€” how shall we put it? ā€” grandissimo! But guess whatā€™s included with every Terrazza stateroom? Exclusive access to a private deck featuring amenities like all-day lounging with great drinks, entertainment, whirlpools and more. (All Terrazza stateroom guests must be 12 or older.)

Available On : Carnival Firenze ™ and Carnival Venezia ™

  1. TBA cabins

    Posted September 29, 2018. Any cabin on the ship is a good one in my book. Don't be like that poster a month or so ago who complained about the balcony cabin her brother got when he booked a balcony cabin under a guarantee rate. I have booked guarantee rooms twice when we decided to book a cruise last minute.

  2. Cabin TBA???

    It could be a guarantee room (see "TBA" in attached example) or an assigned room (in which case Carnival will automatically assign a cabin without giving you an option to choose your own). If you want the ability to choose your own room, you have to click "Pick A Room" on the initial pricing matrix to get to options than a guarantee cabin or ...

  3. Question about TBA cabins

    Under the kitchen, noisy, not carpeted, deck 2. Good, lido deck and walk out to pool. Least favorite my first ever cruise and I picked the cabin. Princess under the treadmills. Once the gym opened every step above us we heard, thump thump thump starting at 7 am. Once above the theater I think carnival.

  4. Room TBA

    really nice room. so when they canceled the Elation and swapped with the Magic, received an email stating that we had a catagory 6S TBA on the Magic, which when I looked up the category on the Magic, it was an oceanview on the Spa Deck, being a Spa room, but still no cabin number, was told by Carnival that they are still arranging rooms, for ...

    šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‚ We were below the lido deck on a past cruise, older Carnival ship, we woke up to scraping noise. It was the crew moving the chairs around. It was the crew moving the chairs around. Then one year we were under one of the music clubs, we heard music until the club closed around 2am.

  7. TBA Room

    January 9, 2017. Florida. #6. Posted January 8, 2023. You'll just have to sign in and check each day. My last TBA was assigned about 30ish days out, but others have reported anywhere from when they booked the cruise all the way to not knowing until they arrived at the port. I also never received any kind of notification with mine, so had I not ...

  8. TBA Room

    My last TBA was assigned about 30ish days out, but others have reported anywhere from when they booked the cruise all the way to not knowing until they arrived at the port. I also never received any kind of notification with mine, so had I not been checking every few days, I wouldn't have known it had been assigned. 1.

  11. I book a "TBD" room=huh

    Re: I book a "TBD" room=huh. A "TBA" cabin might not be assigned until embarkation day. I've had that happen more than once. You check with the porters that have the ships manifest to get your room number for your luggage tags and you go to will call to check in. Now you could probably do that online the night before.

  13. TBA rooms : r/CarnivalCruiseFans

    I'm way overthinking it and probably won't book a TBA room again šŸ¤£ Sorry I was no help, I just wanted you to know you weren't alone lol. 2. Admirable-Bar-3549. ā€¢ 2 yr. ago. I just came off Mardi Gras and had two "guaranteed" interior cabins.

  14. TBA rooms : r/CarnivalCruiseFans

    Anywhere from 5-14 days prior to boarding. HOWEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER get a tba room again. I read an article a few days ago about a guy and TWELVE other parties, that's 13 total parties that went the tba route. Guess what, the ship could only find space for two parties. The rest were left at the pier.

  15. Carnival Cruise Line cabins and suite guide: Everything to know

    Here's a breakdown of the broad cabin categories on Carnival Panorama, which is typical of the line's newer ships: Inside cabins: 789 (39%) Oceanview cabins: 254 (13%) Balcony cabins: 891 (44%) Suites: 70 (3%) On older Carnival ships (and, in general, all older cruise ships), there are far fewer balcony cabins.

  16. Room is TBA? : r/CarnivalCruiseFans

    Correct. OBC is assigned to rooms, not to people. Since your room isn't assigned yet, the OBC isn't showing. And technically, there's a non-zero % chance that you'll be upgraded on the room type, but don't expect or count on it. Rooms are assigned once all of the rooms for a particular class type are sold out.

  17. Cruise Ship Rooms

    Upper decks. For arts and entertainment, health and relaxation, stay up front. The fitness center and spa are nearby, not to mention great performances in the show lounge.
