We took our 3 grand daughters on a cruise on Vista and pvp talked us to family harbor. BAD BAD Bad, no room once beds were set up, cannot sit anywhere and constantly bumping into each other, banging heads on the overhead beds. Trip was great, cabin made it terribble

Did Family Harbor. 5 people in one room, once beds are pulled out, no room to manuever, head knockers on overhead beads. Swlling point 2 bathrooms, bad. one is a regular bathroom, the other is a sink, shower, tub. Smaller than a rv bathroom, can dry yourself on walls, not much room there

Sorry the cabin was a bust. Sometimes the PVPs only have information given by other passengers. We had a similar situation once my PVP did it and I explained when we returned. Be sure to tell yours! Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise!

Short of booking a suite or qualifying for an ADA cabin, you do realize that the Family Harbor for 5 passenger cabins have the largest square footage available of all the cabin categories. Consider it a lesson learned that 2 cabins (preferably connected ones) are better if spending a lot of time inside them.

I hear ya. But a lot of us are still cheapskates and would still prefer to keep that 1cabin vs 2 cabin savings in our pocket!

Too bad about the cabin. Get a new pvp and then just continue to make fun memories.

Sorry you weren’t happy with your cabin. At least it looks like it didn’t stop you all enjoying the other aspects of the cruise and it’s great you got to do this with your grandkids. What a beautiful family photo!

Unforgettable quality times with the family... Would definitely do it again

Ship needs a good cleaning and refurbishment

Likely will not cruise Carnival again
