Oceanview
Oceanview staterooms onboard Carnival Radiance are comfortable, slightly more spacious than Interior staterooms, and offer a stunning view of the ocean through a picture window in each one.

Picture window;
Two twin beds (convertible to a King);

Interior
Interior staterooms are the most affordable accommodations aboard Carnival Radiance and can sleep up between 2-5 guests. If you’re a traveler who wants to have more spending money for excursions, cocktails, spa treatments, or specialty dining, then an Interior stateroom is a fabulous option.
It is usually the least expensive fare. Interior staterooms do not have a window, so it’s a great choice for those who are looking for a great night’s sleep (this is an especially good choice for quickly overcoming jet lag if you’re traveling in a different time zone). Depending on where your Interior stateroom is located, you’ll generally feel less movement (great for preventing seasickness). Finally, with the least amount of living space, you’ll feel more motivated to spend as much time as you can exploring the ship and getting the most valuable experience for your money.
