Where Do You Find What Cabins Are Still Available?

I was wondering if anyone knows where you can find online what cabins are still available. Didn't know if there is such a place on CCL site, or another. I did a search, but to no avail. Any info. would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

The easiest thing to do is just call Carnival and ask one of the vacation planners to look and see how many cabins are still available on any particular deck or in any particular category. They should be willing to tell you that no problem.

Carnival only shows 9 cabins available at a time so there is no way to know if there is only 9 cabins left in a category or if those are the best 9 of the bunch.

Call and get the accurate up to date info from Carnival directly.

I have tried this myself by simply going to the cruiseline's website and try to book a sailing. Available cabins will be indicated. Others may have better suggestions, but this has worked for me, even after booking a cruise, I sometimes check to see what is left.

Carnival only show 9 cabins at a time regardless of how many are available.

If you check the cruise line site, or any travel site, and only 2 cabins show up on a specific deck, no matter which site you checked that should be a pretty good indication of what is left. I checked our upcoming cruise. The Upper deck showed about 3 rooms available on 4 different sites, including Carnival. Empress deck showed less that 5 balcony cabins, but about 9 or 10 suite cabins, Panarama showed less than 5. I would think that would be close to true. Maybe I am completely wrong though.

If it is important enough to check multiple websites, it is important enough to make a quick phone call to carnival to be sure of the number.

Many times if they are pushing one cat over another, they will not show the full inventory.

Thanks all. I am still a long way until our Ecstasy cruise. I have booked a 1A guar. and just curious as to what is still avail. I have seen that some of the 6C cabins are down to just a few left. I have been going by the number of cabins listed knowing they only show 9 or 10 at a time. It's not that important at this time, but gives me something to do to keep the cruising bug going

. We are hoping for an upgrade, but will be happy with what we booked. Our DD and SIL decided to go along. I got them a 6D for less than a 6A with our past guest disc. not too bad.
Thanks to all for your input it is truly appreciated as always.
