Review summary

We cruise a couple times a year. We are not sure we will ever cruise with Carnival again because of our room. We were told that we would be able to have our bed made into a queen bed. Our Carnival personal planner said it the service desk argued with us and then said she could not do anything. All this sucks bad. They would not change our room even though the lady next door to our room wanted to change they told her she could not do that. NOT HAPPY. Anniversary cruise I DIDNOT SLEEP IN THE SAME BED AS MY WIFE!!!!

Ship tip

Never book room 7205. They tell you you can convert it to a queen size bed but you can’t. They won’t do anything about it. This sucks this was my birthday and anniversary cruise and could not sleep with my wife!!!!!!

Either way it's still two mattresses... But at least you can push them together. All cruise ships have this twin arrangement, unless you want to spend $$$$$$$

Did you ask your room steward about moving the beds or at least to help you?

Sorry for that problem you had. Sometimes it's best booking it yourself! Then you will know for sure what you are getting. You can call and reserve or make reservations online.

Not sure why they wouldn’t move them for you. After they said no, we would’ve just moved them ourselves. It’s not like they’re nailed to the floor. Our beds were separated for our first cruise which was also our honeymoon. We didn’t ask, we just moved them together. I’d give Carnival another chance before you write them off completely.
