ByJoe Miragliotta

If you’re thinking about booking an interior cabin on Carnival Firenze, you might be wondering what to expect. We recently stayed in room 9456, an inside stateroom located on Deck 9 (Panorama), just one deck below the ship’s lively Lido Deck. This post gives you a full breakdown of interior cabins on Carnival Firenze—what they include, what makes them unique, and why 9456 might be one of the best choices for cruisers who want both value and convenience.

Watch the full room tour of Carnival Firenze Interior Cabin 9456 below:

Interior Cabins on Carnival Firenze: An Overview

Carnival Firenze launched in 2024 as part of Carnival’s “Fun Italian Style” series, blending Carnival’s signature fun with Italian-inspired design. The ship features a wide range of staterooms, with interior cabins being the most affordable and practical option for many guests.

  • Size: Approximately 153–175 sq ft, depending on category.
  • Beds: Two twin beds (convertible to a king/queen), with some cabins offering Pullman bunks for 3–4 guests.
  • Décor: Florentine touches—artwork of Florence, patterned walls, and warm, modern finishes.
  • Bathroom: Compact but functional, with glass shower doors instead of curtains.

Despite being the entry-level category, Carnival’s interiors don’t feel bare-bones. Each room comes with a dedicated steward, climate control, flat-screen TV, in-room safe, mini-fridge, hair dryer, and robes.

Categories of Interior Cabins on Carnival Firenze

Carnival Firenze offers several types of inside staterooms, and it’s important to understand the differences. While all of these are officially classified as interior cabins, some do include windows. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Standard Interior – The classic inside cabin: no windows, just a comfortable, private retreat with all the essentials.
  • Interior with Picture Window (Walkway View) – These rooms have a large window, but instead of looking directly at the ocean, it faces a public observation walkway. It lets in natural light, though you’ll often keep the curtain closed for privacy.
  • Interior with Portholes – A handful of cabins come with two small, round porthole windows that look out to sea. They’re smaller than regular windows, and views may be limited, but they provide daylight at an interior-level price.
  • Interior Upper/Lower – Designed for one or two travelers, these cabins use a twin bed plus either a Pullman bunk or sofa bed. Some of these also come with portholes, giving you a bit of outside light.
  • Terrazza Interior – Exclusive to Firenze, these interiors are decorated with extra Italian flair and include perks like access to the private Terrazza Moda lounge and deck area.

The key takeaway: not every “interior” means windowless. Carnival groups these cabins together under the interior category, but depending on what you book, you may end up with anything from a true windowless stateroom to one with portholes or a walkway-facing picture window.

Why Room 9456 Is a Great Pick

Room 9456 is a standard interior stateroom located on Deck 9 (Panorama). Its placement is a real perk:

  • Just one deck below Lido, making it incredibly convenient for quick trips to the pool, buffet, and late-night pizza.
  • Close enough to the action without being directly under it, reducing the chance of early-morning noise from deck chairs.
  • Easy elevator or stair access to the heart of the ship.

For cruisers who like to be near the fun but still enjoy a quiet retreat at night, 9456 hits the sweet spot.

Amenities & Features You’ll Find Inside

Here’s what every interior cabin on Firenze—including 9456—includes:

  • Beds: Two twins (convertible to a king) with Carnival’s comfortable bedding.
  • Storage: Closet space, drawers, and nightstands.
  • Desk/Vanity: With mirror, outlets, and seating.
  • Technology: Flat-panel TV, USB ports (limited—bring an adapter if needed), phone, and in-room safe.
  • Bathroom: Toilet, sink, glass-doored shower, towels refreshed daily, and complimentary toiletries.
  • Extras: Mini-fridge, robes, and Carnival’s famous towel animals.

Price Advantage

One of the best reasons to book an interior cabin is the price point. On Carnival Firenze’s 4-night itineraries from Long Beach, interior cabins have started as low as $359 per person, while balconies can easily run $500+ per person.

That’s a savings of over $150 per guest—money you can put toward excursions, specialty dining, or your next cruise.

Who Should Book an Interior?

  • Budget-conscious travelers who want the Carnival Firenze experience without overspending.
  • Night owls and late risers—the pitch-black environment makes for great sleep.
  • Active cruisers who plan to spend most of their day exploring the ship and ports.
  • Families and groups who may book multiple interiors or mix an interior with a balcony.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective way to sail on Carnival’s Italian-inspired ship while still enjoying comfort and convenience, an interior cabin—especially room 9456—is a smart choice.

Carnival Firenze’s interior cabins prove that you don’t need a balcony to enjoy a great cruise. With thoughtful amenities, Italian-themed décor, and wallet-friendly pricing, they’re an excellent option for many travelers. Room 9456 in particular offers unbeatable convenience near the Lido Deck, making it a fantastic pick for cruisers who want both value and location.
