Havana is Carnival's quiet answer to the ship-within-a-ship trend. Rather than a full enclave, it links a set of themed cabins to a reserved aft pool deck for the hours that matter.
Havana cabins on the Vista and Excel classes come in Cabana, Aft-View Extended Balcony and standard Havana grades, finished in Cuban-inspired colours with hammocks or patio furniture on the balconies.
Occupants have exclusive daytime access to the Havana Bar and pool area, typically until 7pm, after which the space opens to all guests. On sea days this is by far the calmest deck space on the ship.
Cabana grades add a private outdoor patio with direct pool-deck access — effectively a garden room at sea and the best-value premium cabin in the Carnival fleet.
What's included
- Daytime-exclusive Havana pool, bar and sun deck
- Cuban-themed stateroom décor and furnishings
- Hammock or patio seating on most balconies
- Cabana grades with direct pool-deck access
- Aft-facing extended balconies on selected grades
