Carnival Cruise Lines: Carnival Destiny

Destiny Class review covers: Carnival Destiny, Carnival Triumph, Carnival Victory

Accommodations

Cabins: As on all Carnival ships, cabins are generally larger than cruise-industry standard. More than half have an ocean view and, of those, 60% have balconies. For suites and ocean-view cabins that have them, private balconies are outfitted with chairs and tables, adding additional living space. Every cabin has adequate closet and drawer-shelf storage, as well as bathroom shelves. High thread-count and plump pillows and duvets are a luxurious touch. Suites also have a whirlpool tub, VCR, and walk-in closet.

Decor: Light-wood cabinetry, soft pastels, mirrored accents, a small refrigerator, a personal safe, a hair dryer, and a sitting area with sofa, chair, and table are typical for ocean-view cabins and suites. Inside cabins do not have a sitting area.

Bathrooms: Shampoo and bath gel dispensers are mounted on shower walls; other toiletries are stocked, as well as fluffy towels. Bathrobes for use during the cruise are provided for all.

Other Features: Numerous ocean-view and inside stateroom categories have connecting doors and are suitable for families. In addition, there are slightly larger cabins near the children's playroom and teen center that are designated as family staterooms with floor-to-ceiling windows. Twenty-five staterooms are designed for wheelchair accessibility.
