    Carnival Horizon/Family Lounge Questions/Tween club

    in Carnival Cruise Lines

    Posted

    We too have a Family Harbor. From all I read it's good to have the lounge around, the food was great including sandwiches and snacks in the afternoon. Our cabin is an aft-extended balcony, which is under the back of the restaurant. No problems there.

    If the cabin you have is in between the aft elevators and mid elevators, you are under the galley and it may get noisy overnight depending on what is exactly over you.

    Regardless it's gonna be a blast.

    I have some pics of the aft of the horizon in another thread

    Thanks all for the thoughts and advice! We booked the aft balcony in the family harbor. So excited :) Now we just have to wait 11 months till cruise time (luckily I have my wedding and honeymoon between now and then to keep me busy)!

    Awesome!, We have 2503 Aft Balcony in July. I'll let ya know!

    We were in 2419 on the Vista and booked the same room on the Horizon. We didn't hear a thing from above. We've stayed in Cove Balcony rooms on the Dream and Breeze, all under the galley, and haven't ever had an issue. Maybe there is noise and we don't notice it, maybe we've been really lucky with room choices, or maybe the complaints about noise from the galley are overblown. Cove Balconies and now the Family Harbor Cove Balconies are our favorite category to book.

    Yep ive never stayed under galley but read more bad than good. This reply is great, gives hope for those rooms. We are an aft family so the family harbor perks are nice. We always pay a bit more anyway for aft balconies. MUCH cheaper than aft Havana.

    Are the two insides family harbor, you didn't say? The aft balconies in the Family Harbor are a unique and new class of cabin. I would most certainly choose the aft balcony. I'm booked in one for my family of four on the Horizon as well. Don't wait too long to decide as there is only ONE aft balcony in the Family Harbor that hold four people. Better snag it quick as I did or it'll be gone real quick.

    There is only one aft extended balcony for 4. I'm booked in July and made sure not to take the balcony next to it! Hehe

    Family Harbor for us is more for the conveniences like food nearby for when time and hunger don't mix and getting on and off the boat. My 13 year old will do what he wants either way.

    Please explain the price difference per person between a room for 4, or 2 rooms for 5

    BJ's Cruises has free gratuities for for first 2 in a room, so you would receive over $400 in gratuities. And if you spend over 4k total you will get a $200 bj's gift card per room. Plus $50pp/1st 2 guests($100)OBC EACH room!.

    Bad part was i had to go thru BJ's and lose my PVP thru carnival. but if you are budget minded like we were this may work for you. I can give you the name and number of my BJ's Cruise agent if you like. hit me up.

    We are booked on the Horizon 7/31/2018 and I did it thru BJ's...
