Razmom...our kids are 8 & 10 now. (They were 7 & 9 on the cruise in May). We loved having the extra room and they loved having the curtain that closed off “their space.” We also loved having two showers (one shower in the regular bathroom and then a shower in the 1/2 bath...it’s a jr. tub with shower and sink). We also loved the Family Harbor lounge. They served breakfast and snacks in there and we didn’t have to fight the crowd on the Lido deck. The lounge also had PS4’s and board games. Also they loved having the 24hr ice cream right down the hall. We didn’t know if we would like the cove balcony (we had only stayed in balconies on the Lido prior) but we fell in love with it too. Also the balcony was bigger and we had 4 chairs instead of the normal 2 chairs)

Mckamey0430...I have went into more detail n for that I'm sorry...last March we were first time cruiser's...we had a Havana interior deck 5 n I love it...so January 2019 will be r second cruise n we r in a 4J cabin deck 7... So just wondered if the extra cost is worth it...also what age of Children enjoy them most?

Razmom ...in comparison to what? They are more expensive to the FH interior or balcony but are comparable in price to other suites.

Definitely agree! We had a Family Harbor Suite this past May. We loved it so much that we booked the same exact room for our next cruise. It spoiled us so much that now we don’t know if we want to cruise in any other type of room. 😳
