Family Harbor Staterooms & Suites

The term “family room” brings to mind that comfy place where kids and parents can do the all-important work of having fun simply being together. That’s precisely why there’s Family Harbor. You’ll notice that Family Harbor staterooms sport a classically American nautical décor... but benefits don’t stop at your door. Family Harbor staterooms are located near the Family Harbor Lounge, an exclusive spot featuring breakfast in the morning, snacks throughout the day, plus activities like board games, family movies, video games and more. As you explore the rest of the ship, the Family Harbor benefits come along, with your kids eating free in most onboard specialty restaurants... plus one free evening of Night Owls babysitting service, so you can enjoy some much-deserved alone time.

Available On : Carnival Celebration ® , Carnival Horizon ® , Carnival Jubilee ® , Mardi Gras ® , Carnival Panorama ® and Carnival Vista ®

Cloud 9 Spa Staterooms & Suites

Cloud 9 Spa ™ staterooms do things a little different than ordinary staterooms. For starters, we dare you to cross the threshold without feeling a little more relaxed. Once you're inside, you'll find pleasing decor and in-room amenities like ELEMIS bath products and spa-branded bathrobes and slippers to enhance your stay.

What’s more, your excellent stateroom choice gets you priority spa reservations, free fitness classes, unlimited access to the thermal suites, exclusive discounts on treatments during port days... and more. (And on ships with a Hydrotherapy Pool, you’re welcome to use it as much as you want!)

And the best part? We've got a full range of rooms with that Cloud 9 mojo, from cozy Interiors to stretch-out Suites, ensuring you'll never have to sacrifice comfort for value.

Available On : Carnival Breeze ® , Carnival Celebration ® , Carnival Dream ® , Carnival Horizon ® , Carnival Jubilee ® , Carnival Luminosa ® ,Carnival Magic ® , Mardi Gras. ® , Carnival Panorama ® , Carnival Radiance ® , Carnival Splendor ® , Carnival Sunrise ® , Carnival Sunshine ® and Carnival Vista ®

Havana Staterooms & Suites

At Carnival we love to cruise as much as anyone, but when you book a Havana stateroom, it's like you're no longer on a ship... you're at an exclusive island resort. But unlike most spots on land, you're never far from the ocean... or from the Havana Bar & Pool. (You'll enjoy exclusive access to the pool area!) Inside, all Havana staterooms feature a unique décor, but step up to a Havana Cabana for an extra-large outdoor chill space featuring a lounge-ready hammock chair. Step into a Havana Cabana suite for even more space, plus a luxurious rain shower. (All Havana stateroom guests must be 12 or older.)

Terrazza Staterooms

Have you ever thought “maybe I could live like an Italian”? Well there’s a place you can kind of try out the lifestyle, at least for one vacation: Terrazza Staterooms aboard a Carnival cruise! You’ll find these aboard any of our Fun Italian Style ships, and the resort layout gives you everything you need for comfort and style in one place. For starters, all the staterooms feature a fresh style inside… and some add premium open-air benefits like a patio lounging area or balcony. And on a select few, the balcony is — how shall we put it? — grandissimo! But guess what’s included with every Terrazza stateroom? Exclusive access to a private deck featuring amenities like all-day lounging with great drinks, entertainment, whirlpools and more. (All Terrazza stateroom guests must be 12 or older.)

Available On : Carnival Firenze ™ and Carnival Venezia ™

ALL THE PERKS, IN EVERY ROOM

With all this comfort and all these standard features, you've gotta try real hard to get homesick on a Carnival cruise.

• Dedicated stateroom attendant
• Soft, cozy linens
• Stateroom climate control
• Plenty of closet and drawer space
• Bathrobes upon request
• In-room safe for valuables

YEP, WE THOUGHT OF THAT TOO

Beyond the basics, you’ll find rooms that take your vacation to the next level — we’re talking stuff that matters most to groups, families, folks with special needs and more!

Adding friends equals multiplying the fun. That’s why many Carnival staterooms can be configured in different ways — some sleep up to five!

Keep the group together. Some cabins have connecting rooms with a common door between them.

When it comes to bathrooms, an extra might be a good idea. Deluxe Ocean View staterooms sleep up to five and come with an extra half-bath.

Specially modified rooms are available for guests with special needs .

TOP-TO-BOTTOM, FRONT-TO-BACK FUN

Wherever on the ship you make your home base, good times aren't far.

• Lower decks
• Upper decks

For arts and entertainment, health and relaxation, stay up front. The fitness center and spa are nearby, not to mention great performances in the show lounge.

• Mega RockStar Quarters

Sea Terrace

Rockstar quarters, massive suite.

This is our most incredible suite on board. Before the tour, you should start thinking about how to stock your bottomless bar for stargazing in the hot tub —because there's no dream that this suite, and your RockStar Agents, can't make a reality.

Sun-drenched terrace yoga with new friends or (extra) dirty martinis at the full bar inside? For those who love to host while never losing sight of the sea.

Gorgeous Suite

Whether you're in the Peek-a-Boo shower inside, or rinsing off on the Peek-a-View shower outside, the ecstasy-inducing sea views pulse through every part of the design of this suite.

From ceiling to floor marble bathrooms to the champagne table on the terrace overlooking the waves — it's chic enough for a superstar girlband to shack up here.

Solo Sea View

Window for one plz? Get introspective as you gaze out at the waves from your own personal hideaway

The Sea View

Perched on the nautically inspired window seat, a duo can take in the views (without all the mist)

Central Sea Terrace

Mid-ship; Most popular

Limited View Sea Terrace

Close to lower deck activities/spaces

Sea Terrace: (Slightly) Smaller Balcony

A slightly smaller balcony doesn’t mean less comfort. The interior space is exactly the same as our other terrace categories, and features a second hammock — so you and your plus one can sway together in the open ocean air.

The Sea Terrace

Forward or Aft location

XL Sea Terrace

XL means extra 30% living space. Extra bathroom space with completely separate toilet and rainshower chambers. And double-the-vanity and storage. Plus, with that gorgeous, red hammock-adorned terrace.

Cheeky Corner Suite

A lavish Suite cheekily located at the corner of the ship for wrapping panoramic views of the wake (you’re welcome).

Brilliant Suite

Cue the music video montage because your inner rocker will come alive dancing from the bar to the fully marbled bathroom. Or electric slide to the terrace champagne table. Or... well, we'll leave the choreography up to you.

Seriously Suite

From the massive European king bed overlooking the sea to the custom hand-made terrace hammock, luxury and self care here are a serious art.

Sweet Aft Suite

Kick back and enjoy the Suite life with uninterrupted sea views (really...even the bathroom has an ocean view).

Social Insider

Our posh but cozy cabin is ideal for a close-knit crew. For girl bands or four cartoon turtles

Solo Insider

Our cozy solo escape is adorned with reactive mood lighting for introverts who need to recharge

The Insider

Perfect for a duo and equipped with our transitional Seabed, this is a retreat for relaxation

That horizon won't gaze at itself

Whether you're getting ready inside at the glam area, rinsing off in your Roomy Rainshower or relaxing outside on your hand-woven terrace hammock (that almost all of our Sea Terraces offer), our spaces are designed to give you sweeping views of the horizon as our mood lighting intuitively matches the light from the oncoming sunset.

185-225 sq ft

Space to spread out

A room with a (porthole) view

For solo Sailors looking for quiet moments with the sea from our super large single beds, or duos perched on our nautically-inspired window seats — the ocean is yours to make eyes with. Gazing out at the waves every morning, this is the closest you can get to the ocean (without the windblown hair).

130-190 sq ft

Play all night, sleep all day

Quantum of the Seas Ocean View Cabin Review and Tour 2024

by Prof. Cruise · July 15, 2024

Introduction: Our Cabin on Quantum of the Seas

This review (which, with a reference to Big Foot and the Boston Tea Party, will probably be the weirdest you’ll ever read – apologies in advance) is of a deck 3 ocean view cabin on Quantum of the Seas. Ours was cabin 3606, located mid-ship on the starboard side, but similar cabins include: 3652, 3650, 3648, 3646, 3644, 3642, 3640, 3638, 3636, 3634, 3632, 3630, 3628, 3626, 3624, 3622, 3620, 3618, 3616, 3614, 3612, 3610, 3608, 3604, 3602, 3600, 3598, 3596, 3594, 3592, 3590, 3588, 3586, 3584, 3582, 3580, 3578, 3576, 3574, 3572, 3570, 3568, 3566, 3564, 3562, 3558, 3556, 3554, 3550, 3548, 3546, 3252, 3250, 3248, 3246, 3244, 3242, 3240, 3238, 3236, 3234, 3232, 3230, 3228, 3226, 3224, 3222, 3220, 3218, 3216, 3214, 3212, 3210, 3208, 3206, 3204, 3202, 3200, 3198, 3196, 3194, 3192, 3190, 3188, 3186, 3184, 3182, 3180, 3178, 3176, 3174, 3172, 3170, 3168, 3166, 3164, 3162, 3158, 3156, 3154, 3150, 3148, and 3146.

We sailed in this cabin on a 7-night cruise to Alaska to celebrate my son’s graduation from elementary school. Kids these days. On the day I “graduated” from elementary school I came home on the bus to an empty box of Ding Dongs (and a chiding lecture from my mother about rationing our snacks so they’d last a full week) and instructions to go ride my bike until dinner. My kid gets his photo posted all over the internet holding a “Last Day of 5th Grade” sign I spent $10 in printer ink on, a ceremony and reception at school that relatives FLEW in for, and a freakin CRUISE.

Anyway, here’s a complete tour followed by some notable things about our ocean view cabin if you’re booked in or considering a similar one on Quantum of the Seas (note that these cabins are virtually identical to the balcony cabins, but with a window where the balcony would be).

At 198 sq ft, this ocean view cabin was equivalent to the average-sized water-facing apartment in Seattle within the $10,000-$15,000 a month price range (that’s an exaggeration, but only a slight one). I loved the layout, except for the armoire piece positioned between the bed and the sofa. It blocked my view of outside while I laid in bed and you know as soon as I leaned my head back a giant pod of albino, unicorn, orcas appeared just out of view.

Speaking of the armoire, storage was ample and included two large armoires, one on either side of the bed, two large cabinets above the bed, and a dresser with five drawers (plus a mini-fridge). I also used under the bed to store our luggage and as a hiding spot when it was time to disembark (obviously it didn’t work or I’d be at the Windjammer buffet eating doughnuts right now and not back at home plugging my nose while I gag down a shot of dehydrated broccoli sprouts to make peace with my gut microbiome after 7 days of cruise binging).

I used the desk to finally complete my memoir. I’ll share the first (and only) chapter exclusively with you now. It’s called, Sailing Through Life : “In 2010 I went on a cruise for my honeymoon. And that’s pretty much all I’ve done since.” Should I mention the birth of my kid? Nah. But, I do plan to add a footnote indicating that I took a forced hiatus from cruising due to Covid.

Not a Coffee Maker

That’s not a coffee maker, it’s a kettle! While that will come as a disappointment to many Americans, it felt like further vindication to me. No, I’m not British or my cruise blog and YouTube channel would be WAY more popular. So allow me to explain. Twelve years ago, when I got pregnant with my son, I gave up coffee for good. Instead I switched to this hippy dippy drink I invented which is a blend of mushroom powder, caffeine free masala chai, pure cocoa, and turmeric, which you stir into hot water with a stick and drink from a colocasia leaf which you then eat (okay, that last part’s an embellishment, but the drink recipe is 100% true). Anyway, my family and friends have teased me relentlessly about this over the years until my husband sent out a group text a few months ago about a new “mushroom coffee” joint opening in one of the trendiest neighborhoods in Seattle. And for the first time ever, I’m a full decade ahead of a trend instead of triple that number of years behind one (I’m wearing my stone-washed tufted Girbaud jeans and ESPRIT shirt right now to prove it).

And you better believe I brought my mushroom “coffee” onboard with me and was thrilled with a kettle for hot water to stir it in! You can also use the kettle for tea if you didn’t get the message back in 1773 that you were supposed to dump it all overboard (sorry, it’s too late – they don’t allow you to dump anything overboard on a cruise ship). My son also liked it for making hot chocolate. There are tea bags and hot chocolate packets available at the buffet.

Mini-Fridge

When you open the large door on the dresser for the first time, be sure to yell, “FOUND YOU,” like you’re playing hide-and-seek with the mini-fridge. And I suggest you keep it stocked with pizza from Sorrento’s and desserts from Cafe Promenade for late night snacking. Or early morning. Or between your first and second breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s always a good time for a snack on a cruise!

Self Portrait

I never purchase cruise ship photos – I find them overpriced and, honestly, tackier than one of those ugly “LIVE, LAUGH, LOVE” signs attached to the wall of a county morgue using some pre-chewed gum. However, for the first time ever, I purchased a photo taken of me on Quantum of the Seas because it so perfectly captured the one thing I did more than anything else on this cruise. Here it is:

You’ll find a similar image, one I regularly disregarded to my peril, on the bathroom door of your cabin, warning of a step up. Heed it if you don’t want to emerge from doing your business with a halo of twittering birds.

If I seem more controlling, even maniacal at times, blame the Quantum. It all began with the self-adjustable thermostat and the plastic slot that allowed me to control the power in our cabin with an old hotel key card. It started out innocent enough with me cranking up the heat as high as it would go to save money on the spa, “man, it’s like a sauna in here” and escalated to me turning off the thermostat completely as I dramatically pulled the card out of the slot, killing most of the power to our stateroom as I chillingly proclaimed, “you’re mine now, Gotham City!”

That’s outlets, plural. Older ships sometimes only come equipped with one three-prong outlet, like all I have to plug in are my hot rollers and not two phones, a laptop, a tablet, a portable fan, an electric toothbrush, some ear pods, and some rechargeable heated gloves (true story, this was a cruise to Alaska and I have shamefully poor circulation). Well our cabin on the Quantum came equipped with three, three-prong American-style outlets (two above the desk and one next to the bed), two USB outlets (above the desk), and a European style outlet (above the desk – if you have a European to American outlet converter, pop that in your luggage to make use of it).

The bathroom was pretty standard, but with nice, modern finishes and a solid shower surround. There was the typical “destroy your hair in just three washes!” shampoo/body wash combo, a bar of soap, and a removable shower head if you need to defend your position on the toilet at the one hour mark: “I know I shouldn’t have ordered three cheese plates with dessert, but enter at your own risk!”

And while I loved the glass-enclosed shower (it felt spacious and the glass prevented water from getting all over the bathroom floor), there was this mystery bar in there I couldn’t, for the life of me, figure out. Here’s a photo of it:

Oh wait, my bad, those are my legs in the shower – you may recognize them from some alleged Big Foot sightings. If you’re wondering why they’re so hairy, it’s because they keep me warm in the winter and make my shaggy-haired rescue dog feel less alienated. But here’s the mystery bar (honestly, what is it used for?):

Now before this review gets any weirder (trust me, it’s possible, just wait for my full ship review), here’s a quick packing tip before you scream into your pillow and cancel your internet.

Quantum of the Seas Packing Tip

While I’m a rare under -packer who prefers to travel light with only the essentials, I do recommend one popular “cruise cabin hack” for Quantum of the Seas. While this cabin worked for us in almost every way, we did find the lack of a retractable shower clothesline (present in almost every other cabin I’ve sailed in) and a shortage of hooks a problem when it came to hanging jackets, backpacks, and damp bathing suits and clothing. I’d recommend picking up a pack of magnetic hooks * (the walls are metal, so you can slap them up anywhere):

And with that…

Class Dismissed!

I've stayed in 3 types of rooms on cruises, and the cheapest was never worth it. Here's what to book instead.

• I'm a frequent cruise traveler who's stayed in a variety of onboard accommodations.
• The least expensive rooms have no view and are usually cramped, especially if shared by a family.
• Splurging on a higher-category cabin on my last cruise was the best decision I made.

Automatically booking the cheapest room on a cruise ship without doing proper research first can ruin a trip. 

As someone who's been going on cruises for over 10 years, I've learned that the price tag for these vacations can vary based on a number of factors — from cruise line to trip duration to room category.

Staying in the most standard-level cabin seems like an obvious way to keep costs down. But after trying out three different room categories, both with and without my kids, I've found that a ship's least expensive option is almost never worth it.

Based on my experience in three different cruise-room categories, here are the ones I recommend skipping and the ones I recommend splurging on.

Interior staterooms are limited in space and privacy

The standard (and least expensive) room on any cruise ship is typically called an inside or interior stateroom.

These cabins often sleep three to four people and are located in the middle of the ship, with no exterior view of the vessel's surroundings. 

I've stayed in interior staterooms on a Carnival Cruise Line ship and a Disney Cruise Line ship . Aside from different decor styles and a few small touches, this room category is fairly standard across the board. 

When I'm on a cruise, I like to wake up and open my curtains to look at the ocean or the port where the ship is docked , which isn't an option in these inward-looking cabins.

Apart from having no view, interior staterooms are very small. The exact square footage varies but, for reference, the Disn ey Fantasy cruise ship's interior stateroom is 169 square feet and a Royal Caribbean ship's version is around the same size at 164 square feet .

To put those numbers into perspective, standard hotel rooms in the US are, on average, around 330 square feet , almost double the size of the entry-level cruise accommodation.

I want to be able to maneuver around without tripping over luggage, accent furniture, or my own family members. And because of the lack of space in interior staterooms, that's a challenge.

This category is definitely the most economical option, making it ideal for travelers on a budget .

However, if families, especially ones traveling with teens, can swing an alternative, they should steer clear of cramming into an interior stateroom and opt for a category with more space and privacy.

Ocean-view staterooms provide slightly more space but can still feel cramped

The next category up is usually an ocean-view stateroom.

With an outward-facing window, ocean-view staterooms are a solid mid-tier option for travelers who want more space than an interior stateroom offers but don't want to spend extra for a balcony room.

Their exact size and capacity range from ship to ship, but Disney Fantasy's ocean-view staterooms are 204 square feet , and Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas' version is 179 square feet .

Many of these accommodations fit up to five people. If you have more than four family members (yes, infants who are six months and older are part of the headcount), making the jump from an interior stateroom to an ocean-view stateroom is absolutely worth the extra money.

Some cruise lines sell ocean-view rooms as the entry-level category for families of five or more travelers , simply because many interior staterooms can only accommodate a maximum of four guests.

My top pick is balcony staterooms, which offer privacy and plenty of space 

Balcony staterooms, also known as veranda staterooms, are usually the largest accommodation option you can get without concierge service or extras.

I recommend this category to all travelers setting sail in the future for one reason: the private balcony.

You can open your curtains and enjoy the sights outside, similar to the experience of staying in an ocean-view stateroom. But in this room type, you can step out onto a balcony and take in the sounds and smells, too. 

The rooms' sizes and capacities depend on the ship, but balcony staterooms are usually larger than ocean-view staterooms and tend to sleep up to five guests . Even if the rooms' living spaces aren't substantially bigger, they have the added space of the veranda. 

Including the terrace, balcony staterooms on the Disney Fantasy are 246 square feet and are between 214 square feet to 279 square feet on Princess Cruises' fleet.

When my family stayed in a balcony stateroom on a seven-night cruise, we made great use of the outdoor space. On a shorter cruise, where the balcony itself might not get as much use, I would still book this category for my family.

The upgrade was completely worth the price increase, especially because we were traveling with two sets of grandparents .

To make the most of the balcony staterooms, we even turned our individual verandas into one large terrace by having our steward remove the partitions between rooms.
