Carnival Liberty Cabins to Avoid

Picking the best cabin on Carnival Liberty can make a big difference in how much you enjoy your cruise. All cabins are okay on Carnival Ships, but there are some Carnival cabins to avoid during cruise.  

Some people like quiet, while others want to be close to everything on the ship. Knowing where cabins are located can help you choose the right one for you and have a better trip. 

Let’s explore the Carnival Liberty Cabins to Avoid that may not be the best choice.    

Carnival Liberty Cabins to Avoid with Obstructed Views

Obstructed view cabins are staterooms where something partially or fully blocks the view from the window or balcony. This obstruction could be lifeboats, structural elements of the ship, or other equipment. These cabins often cost less. Some passengers find them less desirable due to the limited views. 

Here are some of the Carnival Liberty Cabins to avoid with obstructed views:   

Interior Cabins with Obstructed Views

Interior cabins don’t have windows facing the outside, so they don’t have obstructed views in the traditional sense, but some interior cabins may have limited views or unusual layouts.   

Deck 1 Category 1A Interior Upper/Lower cabins (1207, 1208, 1211 and 1212) have two portholes instead of a window view. Deck 1 Category PT Cabins (1216, 1217, 1220, 1221) have two portholes instead of a window view. 

Deck 2 Category 1A Interior Upper/Lower cabins (2211, 2212, 2216 and 2217) have two portholes instead of a window view. Deck 2 Category PT Cabins (2220 and 2221) have two portholes instead of a window view. 

Deck 6 Category 4J cabins (6201, 6202, 6203, 6204, 6205 and 6206) and Deck 7 Category 4J cabins (7201, 7202, 7203, 7204, 7205 and 7206) have obstructed views due to the small observation deck that all guests have access to. 

Deck 9 Category 4J cabins (9201, 9202 and 9203) and Deck 10 Category 4J cabins (1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004) have picture window. 

Oceanview Cabins with Obstructed Views

Deck 2 Category 6B cabins 2446 and 2449 have blocked views because of a cleaning machine (Gondola) outside the window. 

Carnival Liberty Cabins to Avoid with Connecting Doors

Cabins with connecting doors can be noisy because the door is thinner than a regular wall. This means you can hear sounds from the next room easily, like conversations or TV.

If the next cabin has a group or family, there might be more noise and activity. Some passengers don’t like having a direct connection to another cabin, even if the doors are locked. 

Following are the Carnival Liberty cabins to avoid near noisy areas: 

Interior Cabins with Connecting Doors

Deck 6 Category 4E cabins 6295/6297, 6299/6301 and 6303/6305 are connecting interior cabins. These cabins may hear more noise between them compared to balcony cabins due to the lack of exterior walls to buffer sound. Interior cabins have less outside noise, so you may hear more noise from the neighboring cabins. 

Balcony Cabins with Connecting Doors

Deck 6 cabins (6360/6362, 6283/6285 and 6387/6389) Deck 7 cabins (7207/7212, 7208/7212, 7414/7418, 7419/7423, 7422/7426 and 7427/7431) and some Cabins on Deck 8 are Balcony cabins with connecting doors to the next cabin, which can make it easier for noise to pass between rooms.  

Balcony cabins have better sound insulation, but connecting doors can still allow noise to pass through.  

Oceanview Cabins with Connecting Doors

Some cabins on Deck 1 category 6A and 6B, and Deck 2 category 6B and 6C are Oceanview cabins with connecting doors. These cabins guests can hear noise from neighboring rooms because noise can travel easily between connecting Oceanview cabins. The window area might also amplify sounds. 

Carnival Liberty Cabins to Avoid Near Noisy Areas

Avoid cabins near loud areas for a calm and peaceful cruise. Noise levels vary based on the time and your tolerance. While these cabins may be noisier, they are close to popular spots. If you dislike noise pick mid-ship cabins on the lower decks for a quieter stay.

• Deck 2 cabins 2370, 2373, 2422, 2425, 2462 and 2465
• Deck 6 Cabins 6366, 6370, 6393, 6397, 6442, 6450, 6473 and 6481
• Deck 7 Cabins 7398, 7402, 7403, 7407, 7434 and 7439

Rooms Near the Pool Areas   

• Rooms Under the Lido Deck

• Rooms Near RedFrog Rum Bar & BlueIguana Tequila Bar

Deck 9 cabins 9285 to 9294 are located close to popular bars such as RedFrog Rum Bar and BlueIguana Tequila Bar. These bars can attract crowds and play music throughout the day, causing noise issues for these cabins. 

Carnival Liberty Interior Cabins to Avoid with Limited Natural Light

Interior cabins with little natural light may feel small and isolated. To make them feel more open and brighter, pick cabins on higher decks or near public areas or outside walkways. Interior cabins are usually cheaper but may lack natural light.

Some people find them cozy if they intend to spend most of their time enjoying the ship and its destinations. You can also read the Carnival suites & cabins Guide.

Here are some of the Carnival Liberty Interior cabins to avoid with limited natural light:  

Interior Cabins in the Ship’s Interior Corridors

Deck 6 cabins (6287 to 6307 Odd Numbers Cabins) are located in the center of the ship far from any windows or portholes. These cabins have the least access to natural light and rely entirely on artificial lighting, which can be disorienting for some passengers and may contribute to a feeling of claustrophobia.

Interior Cabins with Obstructed Views

Some cabins on Deck 1, Deck 2, Deck 6, Deck 7 and Deck 9 are technically classified as interior cabins but they may have small windows or portholes. The views are often obstructed by lifeboats, equipment, or structural elements of the ship.

This can create a frustrating experience where you have a glimpse of natural light but cannot fully enjoy the view. 

Carnival Liberty Cabins to Avoid That Cause Seasickness

Here are some of the Carnival Liberty rooms to avoid that may cause seasickness: 

Cabins at the Front or Rear of the Ship  

The front and back of the ship move the most and can make people seasick. Front cabins feel the waves first and move up and down a lot. Rear cabins are more stable but can still sway from side to side.

To avoid seasickness, choose a cabin in the middle of the ship. Cabins in the middle of the ship on lower decks are the most stable. 

Interior Cabins with Limited Access to Natural Light and Fresh Air

Interior cabins, the cheapest option, can worsen seasickness. They lack windows making it harder for your brain to understand the ship’s movement without seeing the horizon, leading to more nausea. These cabins only have air conditioning so you may not get enough fresh air which can ease seasickness.  

Small spaces can make some people feel more anxious or uncomfortable, worsening seasickness. If possible, choose a cabin with a window or balcony to see the horizon and get fresh air which can help with seasickness.  

Carnival Liberty Cabins to Avoid with Vibration

At Carnival Liberty, certain areas are more prone to noticeable vibrations due to their proximity to the ship’s mechanical systems or positioning.  

Cabins Near the Engine Room   

Cabins near the engine room at the back of the ship on lower decks may have more noise and vibration. The engine noise can be loud at night, which can disturb light sleepers.

Some passengers may feel a constant vibration in these cabins which can be uncomfortable. The noise and vibration get stronger when the ship is moving fast or docking. 

Cabins at the Very Front or Very Rear

Cabins at the front of the ship feel more vibration in rough seas. This can make people feel sick and uncomfortable. These cabins are also noisier because of the wind and waves. When the ship docks, the noise from the front thrusters can be very loud. 

Cabins at the back of the ship have nice views but can have problems. They are close to the propellers, so there is more vibration and noise when the ship speeds up or slows down.  

The sound of water from the ship’s wake is constant. These cabins also move more, swaying from side to side in rough seas. Some back cabins might smell like exhaust from the ship’s funnel depending on the wind. 

Carnival Liberty Rooms to Avoid Near Crew Areas

Cabins near crew areas on the Carnival Liberty can be noisy and busy. Crew members often pass by these rooms on lower decks or near service elevators, making noise with carts, doors, and talking.

This can disturb passengers’ sleep and relaxation. These cabins may also have less nice views and be farther from main passenger areas.  

Some guests hear more vibrations and mechanical sounds in these rooms. People who sleep lightly or want a quieter vacation might prefer cabins in other parts of the ship for a more peaceful stay. 

Carnival Liberty Lower Deck Cabins to Avoid

Carnival Liberty’s lower deck cabins (Decks 1 and 2) may have challenges for some passengers. These cabins are close to the ship’s engines and anchor, so they can be noisy and shaky during docking and departures.

In rough seas these cabins may feel vibration which could make people with motion sickness uncomfortable.  

Cabins with portholes instead of windows might feel cramped because they are below the waterline. Also, these cabins are farther from popular places like the pool deck and dining areas which could be inconvenient for some guests.

While these cabins are cheaper, passengers who want a quiet, stable, and centrally located room might prefer cabins on higher decks.
