My husband and I were booked on the Carnival Liberty in a Grand Suite for the June 22-29 cruise. The night before we got a call from Carnival offering to upgrade us to Captain's Suite 9199 for $1000 more, and we said yes after hearing the description of the room. Were we sorry that we did it!

The Suite

9199 is a suite in the real sense of the word - a separate bedroom and living room, and two full baths - one with a tub and the other with a shower. It was well-furnished, with a nice leather L-shaped sofa in the living room, one end table and a sofa table against the wall, a bar area, two lamps and a big TV - although the satellite didn't work all that well, cutting off most programs after a few minutes. We read somewhere on this site that we could somehow hook up our iPod to the TV system, but it's not possible. It's the cabin at the very front of the ship, over the bridge, with five nice windows facing forward and windows and a sliding door on the starboard side of the ship. The suite had a capacity of five people, with a set of fold up bunks and a sofa bed in the living room. It was extremely quiet being the last room in the hall. Read more
