Photos of Carnival Spirit during the cruise

Our Stateroom
Do to a minor mixup, our Carnival rep, Aldo, solved the problem by upgrading us to a suite. It was a fantastic room. Thanks, Aldo!
Looking into our room from the entrance

Sitting area and bar

Bedroom looking toward balcony

Closet, TV, VCR
(I didn't get a photo of the bathroom with dual sinks and jacuzzi tub)



Our double width balcony (about 4 X 20 feet)
While this was a great location, near the Lido Deck food service and with the large balcony, I would suggest a room with a right side balcony instead of the left side if you'd like more sun. The left side only go sun part of the last two days of the cruise.

There were literally scores of these, two on each landing of stairways.

A bungie comes in handy to hold the door open

But a better trick is to have a 3/4 inch by 9 to 10 inch dowel or piece of wood to hold the door open. (I saw the crew use them to hold cabin doors open)
Below photo is looking up at slot where dowel can hold door open
 


View from Sun Deck, otherwise known as the Topless deck, which didn't seem to attract many people on this cruise.
