Luminosa in Tahiti
Like most cruise ships, Carnival Luminosa has a variety of cabins for people to choose from varying from the cheapest inside rooms to the biggest and most expensive suites. On this ship even the lowly inside cabins have options – and some even have windows. Where other lines generally classify cabins with obstructed view windows as ocean view obstructed, on the Luminosa and other Carnival ships they are classified as interior with window. The ship also has the usual interior cabins without windows.

Some of the standard interior cabins are the usual rectangular shape of cruise ship cabins, but others are square. These are category 4A, can be found on deck 1. Some of the cabins are accessible, which as with any cabin category often run larger than other cabins of the same category on many cruise ships. Categories 4 B,C,D, E, and F are standard rectangular interior rooms these are found in various locations around the ship on most cabin decks.
interior with window – on other lines called oceanview obstructed (also has reflection of bed and photographer in the window)
Category 4K rooms sit behind the lifeboats. These have windows which can range from completely blocked by a tender to having a bit of view between lifeboats or tenders or above lifeboats.
square interior cabin
There are 4 accessible cabins among these, the last two of which are sort of L-shaped and larger than the rest. Beyond those the cabins have balconies. The other 6 window rooms classified as interior are at the front of deck 6 and 7 and are called interior with picture window.

These look out onto a small upper bow walkway with a small window with a view above the outside structure. Both of the ones on deck 6 and 2 of the 4 cabins on deck 7 are accessible.

aft extended balcony
Balcony Cabins
Luminosa has a variety of different balcony cabins, which of course come at different prices depending on what they have to offer. Standard balcony cabins are found on various decks with those higher up and closer to the center of the ship considered as higher categories and therefore more expensive than cabins found lower down or farther out toward the bow or stern of the ship. Most are rectangular, but there are a few odd-shaped cabins with more space and/or larger balconies.
premium balcony cabin
Premium balcony cabins are a bit larger with bigger than average balconies. Aft extended balcony cabins are at the back of the ship and have oversized balconies. There are a couple other extended balcony cabins that have double sized balconies without being at the back of the ship, and some square premium balcony cabins with bigger than usual balconies as well, which tend to be accessible cabins. Like the spa interior rooms, spa balcony cabins come with upgraded amenities and spa perks.
spa suite
Suites
As with most cruise ships, the most variety is found among the suites. Suites also include perks that the other cabins don’t get. These include priority check-in and boarding, immediate suite access after boarding, priority dining room time choice and reservations, priority tender, priority disembarkation, 1 free bag laundry service, 2 free bottles of water, pillow top matteress, and upgraded bath products.
junior suite
The smallest, called Junior Suites are found in odd spaces where there was a bit too much room for a regular cabin, but not quite enough for a full sized suite. There are two accessible junior suites near the middle back of deck 5 and two others at the front of deck 6.
ocean suite
Ocean suites are the most numerous of the suites on this ship. They generally have about 360 square feet of interior space or a little over 400 including the balcony. These are found in the middle of decks 6, 7, and 8. Spa suites are found at the bow of deck 8 and are similar to ocean suites, but with the addition of all of the spa perks.
grand suite
Grand suites are a bit bigger and are found at the front corners of deck 5. Extended grand suites sit near the center of deck 7 and have more square footage than the grand suites. Grand vista suites are found at the back corners of decks 4-8. These are the biggest suites of all and feature a wraparound balcony with balcony space running around the corner of the ship. They range from 569-733 feet including the balcony.
