Does Carnival Vista have Havana Cabana?

Our Experience. We had been on Carnival Vista once before, but we were in for a surprise when we stepped onto the patio of our Havana Cabana (room 5209, a standard Cabana, not a suite).



Yes, the Carnival Vista features the Havana Cabana section, which is a dedicated "tropical-themed" enclave of staterooms. In 2026, these rooms remain some of the most sought-after accommodations on the ship. The "Havana Cabana" staterooms are located on Deck 5 and feature a private outdoor patio with a lounge chair and a small gate that opens directly onto the Havana Promenade. Guests staying in these rooms (and the Havana Suites) have exclusive, daytime access to the Havana Pool and Bar, which is a secluded, infinity-style pool area at the back of the ship that is restricted from the general public until 7:00 PM. In 2026, Carnival has upgraded these areas with new "Island-Chic" decor and enhanced beverage service. It is important to note that all guests staying in Havana Cabana rooms must be at least 12 years old, making it a popular choice for families with older children or couples seeking a "resort-within-a-resort" feel. Because of their popularity and the private pool perk, these rooms usually sell out more than a year in advance for 2026 sailings.

The most stable part of the ship is its lowest point of gravity, so on a lower deck, at the center. You'd feel a lot less motion here than, say, in a stateroom on the upper decks a long way forward or aft (towards the back of the ship).

Why has Venice banned cruise ships? Large cruise ships have long imperilled Venice's fragile natural and built environment. As heavy-weight ships travel through canals in the lagoon, they suck in sediment which has to be regularly dredged from channels.
