Harmony room suggestions ?

[DFW CRUISERS]

Hi everyone, I am hoping you may have a suggestion on room selection.   We have a family of 5, 2 adults with kids age 15,13,and 10, we are looking at the Harmony in July.  Last year we sailed on the Oasis and had two Balcony rooms next to each other on deck 6 and had the wall moved on the balcony since the rooms were not adjoining. 

 

I am wondering if there are other rooms I am missing that would comfortably fit us all without completely breaking the bank.  It seems having that fifth person always thrown things off when looking at rooms.

 

Like I said if anyone has ideas or other experiences with five we would sure appreciate it.  If not, we will probably just do the same thing as last year.   

 

Thanks Again !!

How about a balcony stateroom with an inside across the hall?  There are insides that can hold 3 or 4 guests across the hall from OV balcony staterooms in the forward part of the ship.

For fun try pricing the VP category or other family cabins that will hold 5 on Harmony.

Will check into both. Thank you for the ideas !!

Is it possible to add 5 people to a room when trying to make reservations?  or do you have to call to see the VP rooms?

 

Thanks

I thought the VP cabins are only on Voyager and Freedom class??

looking up a chart I found online I believe your correct.

There are Family Cabins but they are not available thru the website.   You need to call a TA or RCI directly to book them.

You will not want 5 in one cabin, unless you book a large suite...the cabins are just too tight.  You could do either next door to each other, or across the hall from each other.  Have the deck plans right in front of you when booking.

We just got off Harmony and were in Cabin 9177. It's the first Central Park View cabin, which makes it bigger than a standard interior, but it connects to an Interior (9175), which would be less expensive. 9575/9577 would be the same setup. All of those show Sofa Beds except 9177.

Category 1K Ultrasoacious Oceanview deck 11 forward.  Need to call to book for 5.  The cabins big enough it’s just a matter of whether 1 bathroom will be sufficient.  The ultra spacious cabins are also available in inside (1R) and balcony cabins (1A).

Thank you all very much for the ideas they were all appreciated.   Ended up getting two balcony rooms on Deck 6 just like our previous trip last year on Oasis.   In fact they are the exact same room numbers 6666 and 6664.  I have to say they are very easy to remember and are so close to everything.

 

Not to change the topic but any big differences in the two ships aside from the water slides and having the option for wristbands?  The layout looks pretty identical. 

 

Thanks again for all the ideas !!!

The room decor is quite different on Harmony.  Jamies Italian replaces Giovanni’s.  Wonderland is added.  No pool in the Solarium.

I would have ended up choosing rooms 6668 and 6666.  The reason why is that these two rooms share that small alcove that the 2 doors are recessed into.  Makes it nice and easy going from one room to the other with family.

very true.  Never even thought of that

Not quite true....The family cabins will occasionally be available online. We have booked them twice on Radiance (8500) and just two days ago booked the VP (1804) on Freedom.

We have yet to cruise with our sons in the same stateroom as us..among our favorite  configurations is parents in a balcony and kids across the hall in a boardwalk balcony, the further aft the better to get a great ocean view and viewing events in the aqua theater

He could have been referring to the fact that the OP has a party of 5 and you do need to call Roysl to book a party if 5 in one room.
