It features board games, family movies, video games, and comfortable seating for everyone. If you're looking for a quiet family breakfast, the Family Harbor Lounge offers a continental breakfast each morning during your cruise. You can also stop by in the afternoon from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM for snacks, ice cream, and beverages or coffee, and enjoy milk and cookies in the evening from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Booking a Family Harbor Stateroom or Suite comes with more exclusive perks! Family Harbor guests enjoy VIP Check-in, allowing for faster boarding. This means shorter wait times, which is a significant advantage when traveling with kids—reducing stress so you can get to the fun more quickly! Additionally, Family Harbor guests benefit from priority tendering for shore excursions, giving them the option to be among the first guests to board the tender boats.
Guests staying in Family Harbor enjoy another incredible perk: free specialty dining for children aged 11 and under! Kids can dine for free at Fahrenheit 555, Bonsai Sushi, and Rudi's Seagrill when accompanied by an adult. If the adults in your group want to take advantage of the nightlife on the Carnival Mardi Gras, your Family Harbor stay includes one complimentary Night Owls Evening for kids at Camp Ocean. This babysitting service is available from 10 PM to 1 AM, with registration required. In typical slumber party fashion, kids will enjoy snacks, movies, arts and crafts, and more! If your little ones are tired from their day of fun, rest areas are available.
