I loving how quickly yal are coming out with the Celebration Content!!!!!
We are hustling! 😉
First Impressions coming out soon too! 🥳
I booked one of these rooms for February 2024 as I'm a solo cruiser. I really do like the square layout! It actually looks like there's a little more space compared to a regular inside room.
We really do love the Square over the Regular design for that very reason. (Many don’t know they even exist!)
There square room does look bigger
we love the square cabins. we always book them whenever we can. the useable space is much much better than compared to the rectangle more abundant interior cabins. It actually isn't smaller than your other interior cabins contrary to popular belief. same exact square footage and I think a way better layout.
We agree!
you give the best stateroom review of anyone. just enouh information & not too much. Thank you for concise and practical information
Thanks Juanita! We are so happy to hear! 🥳
You guys are great! My spouse and I always watch your informative and entertaining videos. For cruise info, we watch JK Cruise as well as Ben and David. We started watching you both after you were on the same cruise with us on the Horizon in 2021. Im a newly retired NY detective and you keep me looking forward to our cruises.
Thanks JD for watching!! We are so glad to hear you enjoy our videos and find them informative too!
Cheers! 🥳
At least they moved the toilet paper in front of the kleenex. I can't tell how long I was using kleenex before I realized it was not the toilet paper when on the Mardi Gras😁
I agree with you on the toilet paper on the Mardi Gras. That was definitely in the wrong place and glad they woke up and realized it and moved it.
Great point!! We forgot about that 😂
My upcoming Carnival Celebration cruise will be my first staying in an inside cabin (it was a great deal). While this inside cabin seems nice, I know it will not change my preference for a balcony stateroom.
The great part of Inside Staterooms is the awesome sleep you get with the complete darkness inside the room. ☺️
It’s fine. We only use the room to sleep, shower and change. We never lounge in the room much.
As an Inside Stateroom cruiser on Carnival..It looks rather similar to the other Inside Staterooms on the other Carnival ships we have been on. I do like the USB by the bed. It's a pain charging my phones overnight and it's 7 feet away on the desk. As far as chairs there are no chairs in the Inside Staterooms I've been on with Carnival they have that ottoman type thing. I do like that one it has lid that pops off to hold plates if you order room service and hang out in bed. The bathroom well actually is a little bit bigger than most Inside Staterooms I believe. It was a good video guys. Just a bit underwhelmed by the additions to the Inside Stateroom. Don't get me wrong we are for sure already booked on the Jubilee next December in an Inside Stateroom and this gives us Ideas of what it will look like.
I enjoyed your review of the square inside cabin. I would never consider a cabin that didn't have a balcony, but that's just me. I think it's great for those that want to save a little money on their cruise. I'm older and I'm not going to be out to the wee hours so I enjoy sitting out on my balcony at night and just letting all the stress go away. That's my nirvana. I hope you enjoy your cruise. The Celebration looks fantastic!!
Thanks Jeanne for watching and sharing your thoughts!! 🥳
Thanks for a fair assessment of an in side room. I would have no problem booking that room
Excellent review, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
My wife and I sailed on the Mardi Gras in January we loved that ship. I just wish carnival has Starbucks. We loved guy’s burgers and guy’s pig anchor. More than once. This it’ll be our 4 cruise.where taking our two daughters on there first cruise
When we’re on the Mardi Gras, we had a balcony and we had a door in our bathroom so now we’re considering and here so we appreciate this video from you
Lovely detailed review guys!! I agree with everything you guys like about the room and the dislikes as well. The decor in the rooms are so great but the bathrooms are tiny.
Thanks Eric!! 🥳
Oh, that's a disappointing bathroom! For my 6-foot 6 partner that would be a tough space. I would like to have more storage, too. Thank you for the tour and honest opinions! I haven't cruised in an inside stateroom since we were first cruising. Our first cruise was on Princess in an inside stateroom on the Grand Princess and it was very dark!
Yes! 6 ft 6 inches would be tough in that tiny bathroom. Shower may work out though! Disney has the shortest showers but this shower is a little taller than it looks.
Thank you boys for another winner. A very detailed tour. Thank you
Thanks Julie for watching and sharing your kind thoughts!
Thanks for this video, Jarod. It was my pleasure to meet you and Jordon on the Celebration last week. I've also watched your other Good and Bad videos about the Celebration, including the Balcony comparison, and found each work informational. I would like to add some comment for others, such as TallahasseeFLPolice (comment below) who travel solo and/or for those who choose Interior rooms simply for budgeting reasons. I've got to tell you, your square Interior (411) looked 5-star compared to the Interior (10345) that I "camped out in" for the 14-day Inaugural Voyage. During my 41 cruises, I have selected and enjoyed all ranges of budget. I have never opted for NCL Studio cabins, but I have stayed in their exclusive Haven for the experience. I have plenty of friends and relatives who would love to share travel expenses, but I travel solo by introvert choice. I do not appreciate having other solos surrounding me, to whom "No" might be required in order to actually dine alone or to explore ship and shore during my vacations. I prefer sleeping in a queen/king bed, so always I've requested that the single beds be pushed together for my stay. During this Celebration voyage my butt and sides were drawn to the crack in the middle - I have never had that happen before. Perhaps it was because of the newness, not yet prepared with whatever insert that may be used to prevent this "crack." But worse than that daily discomfort was that for 14 days, when I went to bed - afternoon nap? after late night in bars/casino/entertainment venues? or merely to watch TV (because, as you noted, no chair with back support) I had to actually hunch over with shoulders and back bent down to avoid contact with the stored wall berths, which hung on both walls alongside the bed. With my height of 5' 3," this seems unconscionable. I guess if these berths were turned down for passengers' sleep, those bedding down below would have to crawl into sleeping position from the bed's end. I submit this layout of stateroom as Worst Cabin at Sea.
Thanks Verna for commenting your experiences! It’s so helpful for others to hear from someone with experience so they know what to prepare for or book! 🥳
Thank you so very much for your review!!! We always book inside squares when we have that opportunity and sad to see how small these ones are! The ones on the Sunrise, Breeze, Sunshine, etc are just so nice and large. We are booked on the Jubilee next year in an inside square and we might have to rethink this! 18 days might be a bit too much as I too will be working some from the ship. The size of the bathrooms don't bother me as we aren't in there that much but storage and floor space does a little. I LOVE that the rooms seems cool enough as since the restart I have not found a room that has been cold enough for me yet - LOL!!!!! Keep it up gentlemen, I look forward to meeting y'all!
Thanks Norene for watching and sharing your thoughts!! 🤗🥳
That would be a good cabin for a solo cruiser. That wouldn't be my first choice of inside cabin, even though it's very nice!
Not our first choice either but this TransAtlantic was pricey 😅
@@JJCruise If we had been able to take that cruise, we would of had to take an inside cabin as well! Hope you both are having a wonderful cruise!
Just found you guys while looking up Celebration videos. Great content!
Thanks Scott! Glad you like our vids!
Love this! If I’d watched this a few weeks ago I’d have said, what a little bathroom! But having just got off Azamara Onward this bathroom looks huge!!! I’ll send you a pic 😂❤️
Thanks for sending the pic! That bathroom is tiny!!! Maybe there should be a small bathroom awards for cruise lines 😂
A lot of hotels are going away from bed skirts because it encurages better cleaning an helps people not "lose" stuff under the bed. Also the room card to activate the electronics has been a feature in Many European hotels for over a decade. It helps conserve energy.
We don’t mind either way, but the bed skirts are quite a nicer look.
Great video we really do appreciate you so much this
Thank you for sharing. This is really helpful. I booked an inside cabin on the Celebration for May 2023.
We are so glad to hear!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks again for such a detailed tour of the room and No We would not book! Actually, we had Carnival on the ‘let’s do it next’ agenda for 2024 but just removed them.. This room tour is just another nail in our decision being the right choice for us. We wont go because of the recent penny pinching measures they have implemented in the MDR, Closing 24 Hr Options down at midnight, increased specialty dinning costs.. I don’t want to have a bill at the end of the Cruise after Paying thousands upon thousands to go. We are in Canada so have to include flights in the costs.. We’ve dropped Carnival and replaced them with Royal for 2024. Thank you so much for what you do, it really does help your Consumers make decisions. No, this VLOG was not the final nail in that Carnival Coffin for us, that already happened .. your just re affirming we are right for our expectations and our personal decision.
Thanks Rob for watching and your feedback! ☺️
Hi Jared. Sooo glad you guys made this video. I am on the 11/27 sailing and had booked a square interior. However, the upgrade fairy called and hubby and I now have a balcony. The only problem with this room is the teeny bathroom so glad we took the upgrade just for this reason. BTW, we met you at debark on the Mardi Gras last year and still have the bracelets you gave us. Always nice to see you two.
Hey!! So nice to hear you got the upgrade!!
We hope to cruise with you again soon!
Bathroom in my balcony on the Discovery Princess was the same size with the toilet paper out of reach.... and the shower had a curtain not a door!!!!!
That’s Wild!
I prefer your square cabin over the regular interior cabins. When the ships port in Miami I'll be getting on, I have a balcony cabin though... Thanks for sharing this blog
We have a Balcony Cabin Review coming out today at 12:30 pm ET! Let us know your thoughts! 🥳
the hair cut is killing me😂
I sailed on the Mardi Gras. I had a window cabin. It was perfect. Larger, more storage, and not having to wake up in a pitch dark cabin. It also had a couch. It did not have a chair. But the couch would be fine to work from. I also enjoyed the light behind the bed. Didn't have to get out of bed to turn a light out. Enjoy your cruise. Also move you jackets to the left side of the closet. Longer hanging area.
Thanks Margaret for watching and sharing your thoughts! (We had our jackets out of the way for filming purposes only so we could show the shelving functions 😉)
@@JJCruise That’s make sense. I was worried that your jackets were going to be wrinkled. Have a great cruise. Take lots of videos of the ship. Can’t wait to watch. 😊❤️
👀 looking fabulous guys enjoy 😊 x
Thanks!! ☺️
Wow finally finding a way to chat on your square room….we would be able to do this room because we are not 6’. Small bathroom but as long as the temp is good we can do it!
Yes, our temp has been great so far! 🥳
Very good review 🎉
Thanks!! 🤗
I was having claustrophobia just watching you in the bathroom. I would rather cruise less often and have a balcony room with fresh air than be in an inside stateroom. I would be totally miserable in an inside room
Thanks for watching and commenting your thoughts! 🥳
Thanks for posting guys! I really want to sail on this ship it looks amazing!! I like the space in your room and almost considered booking it, but that tiny bathroom is a deal breaker.
Be prepared! It is just as small in the balcony rooms 😅
@JJCruise what is this room called when booking online? What is the category
@@JJCruise ugh that sucks!! Well I have an update, my girlfriend and I booked The Celebration for Nov 3rd 2024 Cove Balcony. Small bathroom and all we are very excited about this ship! We will sail away on my bday. You guys coming? Haha!!
@@user-xw5he8md1w It looks like they booked a standard interior. Just know that Carnival will have a guaranteed interior which will be the cheapest. Personally I never go with a guaranteed room since they could place you anywhere. If you don’t care about location then go for it.
I like square insides vs the regular ones because they feel more spacious to me. More usable floor space.
We agree!!
Looks more spacious than the regular ones ❤❤
Definitely feels better!
Thanks for the in depth tour! We will be in square interior cabin 9401 on the first US sailing of the Celebration, and then the same room again for the Jubilee's first US sailing lol. Best feature is not having to have the bathroom door vs closet door battle that you have to have in standard interiors 🤣
True! We do love that feature of the square inside rooms
Did you find the cabin 9401 acceptable for 2 people? What about 3 people? We're booked in that one in 2 months.
Well… it’s a room! Would like to see the other cabins on the ship like a balcony & suite. This particular room seems very basic utilitarian- very little frills.
Do you have a link for the hand held gimbal?
Also do you guys use a microphone while filming?
This is what we use! Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphone, 3-Axis Phone stabilizer with Tripod, Foldable Phone Gimbal for Android and iPhone 13/12 PRO, Stabilizer for Video Recording with 600° Auto Rotation - hohem iSteady X a.co/d/6N1W88o
We plan to add microphones for our phones in the new year but currently only use a mic on our camera for ship tours. ☺️
Did you guys know that Justin of Shiplife is on the same cruise as you are?
I'd be very interested if you guys could do a joint video.
Congratulations on 30K. You guys are a lot of fun!
Hey Jim, we ran into Jay on the first night’s Live. 🥳
Thanks for showing us this unusual room. I don't know if I like it or not honestly
Question: what is the strange long thin shelf to the right side of the bed ,under the dolphins art.
Looks like a chalk holder on a blackboard.
Agian thank you both for showing us the Carnival Celebration 🍾 She looks like a wonderful ship !
Thanks Law! It looks like a shelf but it’s not. The wall just comes out a bit.
It looks small; do you have a video that shows an interior for 4 people? Interior vs premium interior
I have one booked for July. Might look to get a balcony instead.
If it’s affordable, we’d recommend it
Thank you for this. The backless ottoman is a disappointment, as I usually spend an hour or so a day printing photos and working on my travel journal. (If I don't do it while I'm on the trip, it doesn't get done!) Also disappointed in the tiny bedside "shelves" - looks like my CPAP machine will have to ride on the floor.
We are disappointed by those areas of the room as well. Thanks for watching and commenting your thoughts!
I certainly agree that there is no possible way to work in that room. I would think that is a huge drawback for you. And if I was in that cabin for 14 days, I can’t even imagine what it would look like about 10 days in, given the storage situation and bathroom space. Of course maybe you are tidier than I am.😇😂
We definitely have learned to be tidier over time 😂😅
I like that it is square but that bathroom would probably be a deal breaker for me. ☺
We understand that!
Mardi Gras also had very tiny bathrooms!
Truth
I think we have 2 of these booked for my husband and I and our son and nana. The price was right lol.
Very nice!
I have a question for you.does the celebration bathroom have curtains for there shower? See we sailed on the Mardi Gras our bathroom had a door for the shower. And guy’s pig and anchor was free. We’re hearing it’s not on the celebration. Is that true??
Are you both staying on the ship once you all get to Miami? We are sailing on her when you all get to Miami, November 21st and so looking forward to our Thanksgiving cruise on that beautiful ship. We were on the Mardi Gras twice already and both times we had the extended premium inside and loved it. Plenty of room and bathroom is bigger. We have the same type of room on the Celebration and being that there is 3 of us in the cabin, the premium inside cabins are perfect. I do agree with the bed end tables, we hate them and agree with you with not have a chair with the back to it.
We won’t be staying on as our family wants us home for Thanksgiving. ☺️
@@JJCruise That is understandable being that it is Thanksgiving. Maybe you both will be on the Vlogger cruise in January on the Norwegian Breakaway. It would be great to meet you both. Thank you for answering my question. Love your videos and have a great cruise.
Hey guys, Ira here again, what time does the late show end in the Punchliner?
Thanks
Ira
Roughly 10:15-10:20
Can inside square-shaped staterooms separate the beds?
Nice tour. Are the square inside rooms any bigger than the rectangular ones? Just out of curiosity, would the stateroom attendant be able to bring you a chair w/ a back on it, ( maybe from the library) because you are working on the ship??
Good question! Square isn’t technically bigger, just a different configuration.
As for a chair, we had asked on Mardi Gras and they didn’t have any chairs that fit the desk height in the staterooms. Luckily, we can take some of our work out to public areas so we typically do that when possible to find a back ☺️
@@JJCruise I was thinking maybe the library to get work done. But it may not have as many outlets as cafes or other public areas.
Is there any difference between the two ships?
Hey guys, sailing on the Celebration in January. Staying in a cove balcony spa cabin. My question is after the late show in the Punchliner comedy club does it become a dance club? My cabin is directly below the punchlner, which isn’t a problem since I love the late show. I just want to know if anything else takes place in that venue.
Thanks
Ira
Great question! Tonight there was an adult game night in Punchliner until 12:30 am. That’s the latest they’ve used it so far.
Would it be possible to request a chair with a back?
We did try on Mardi Gras to no avail. We are asking again on this ship too.
This cabin would be good for a solo cruiser.
True!
Could you request a chair for the desk???
We did on Mardi Gras but they didn’t have any that fit the stateroom desks.
QUESTION.... Is it possible to go to another area aboard the ship, where there are backs to seating? Yes it may be tight, but your on a cruise... Put Your Big Boy Undies On...LOL
We do take our work that we can do elsewhere on the ship outside of our stateroom. However, some work needs privacy and quiet.
Compared to most other cruise lines, this is one area Carnival is lacking. Just an honest review, hope it doesn’t offend you too much 😉
@@JJCruise I had forgot that you guys also are doing cruise reservations (FULL TIME), and having credit card numbers, and other personal information out in the open, totally makes sense. I wasn't offended, and hope that you guys don't take my response personally, & pray that I did not offend. Please enjoy, and looking forward to additional content.
No I would not stay in this inside cabin. The bathroom is every tiny and the closet are small. Also I like to have a chair in the cabain so when my husband and I are eating from room services one of us sit on the chair while the other one sit on the bed. Also there is no small table
Thanks Marisa for watching and sharing your thoughts! 🤗
The bathrooms are tiny, and I mean tiny!!!
I felt sorry to the Big and Tall folks... I was struggling, and I'm 6 ft 🤣
The bathroom is my only problem too small
Definitely small 😅
Do they have a place to do your laundry on that ship 🚢
Yes!
Ok thanks for responding
Happy to help!
Why didn't you book a bigger cabin instead complaining?
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
❤️❤️❤️
My preference is a balcony room.
We prefer balconies too 😉
CHEAP AZZ CRUISER CANT AFFORD THE OCEAN FRONT??? WHAT
That’s us! 😉
OMG!!! WHATA UP WITH YOUR HAIR BRO???? FIX IT NOW
What’s wrong with your CAPS lock?
@@JJCruise 😂😂😂
