When most people sail, they treat their cabin as a place to sleep, shower and change clothes. But for others, it can provide a very necessary hustle and bustle shelter of an occupied ship.
For example, while trying to spend the shortest possible time inside my cabin, sometimes my children need to take a nap. And sometimes I need to write an article or two.

Because most people do not spend too much time in their rooms, cruise lines generally do not become too elaborate when it comes to entertainment in the room. Of course, there are suites that offer large screen televisions and updated sound systems.
However, in the standard rooms in most Carnival ships (especially the oldest), you will find a television in the 24 -inch baseball stadium with approximately 20 channels to see, including several promotional channels operated by the cruise line.

Should Carnival update your entertainment in the room?
The carnival brand ambassador John Heald has a widely followed facebook page, where cruise questions regularly answer. And recently he got one about televisions in the room. The question said:
“Dh and I spent an incredible moment in freedom, but with these small televisions? The computer monitor I am watching while writing this is bigger than the TV. I suppose that about 40-42 inches boat.”
Heald pointed out (correctly) that in a standard cabin, it is just a few meters from the TV. In a joke, he commented that television is so close to the seat areas and the bed that the carnival could get rid of remote controls.

What do Carnival cruises think?
As Heald usually does when he finds an interesting question, he asked his hundreds of thousands of followers to evaluate the theme, asking “was his television screen large enough in his last cruise?”
It is not surprising that most of the more than 1,000 responses were in the “Do not cross to watch television” line.
As Heald Gail Jankowski Wojciechowski said: “It is quite large. I use it mainly to look at the ship's channel to see how fast we are moving and how far we have traveled, or the channel with the cameras from the bridge or biting the lido deck.”
And I have to confess 90% of the time when my television on the cabin is on, it is in one of those two channels. Even my 7 -year -old son often asks for the “map channel.”
Elaine Bumpus agreed: “In response to his question, television in the cabin is large enough. I do not sail to watch television, but to relax and enjoy. From time to time, I will check the location of the ship on television.”

However, not all cruises agreed.
“Well, I hate being one, but yes, the size of television also matters to us! I hate the little ones,” said Robin Holjes. And Shawn Baumgarner intervened: “I think televisions are too small. I am not asking for a 70 -inch screen, but they seem to be like 24 -inch screens, and I think they should be a bit larger than that.”
Without a doubt, carnival does Have larger televisions (approximately 42 inches) in some of its newest ships, but not in most fleet. We have no idea if any update is planned, or they are even considered, but it seems that a good amount of cruises would like a larger screen.
