Question about family harbor room

[negaface]

I am trying to book a family harbor balcony room and an interior family harbor room. I need the balcony room for 2 adults and a teen. When I search for the balcony with 3 people it comes back with no options for balcony rooms in the area. If I add my daughter making 4 I can book a balcony but with 3 people I can not. Is this on purpose or maybe a glitch. We were excited to try the family harbor area so not being able to book has frustrated me.

It's not a glitch - there are most likely no 3-person rooms left in the area you're looking. When you book online, it makes you book a room for your exact occupancy, so when you put 3, it only gives you rooms with 3 beds - it won't show you any 4-person rooms. All the 3-person rooms may be booked, or there may not be many 3-person rooms in that area. What ship and floor/area are you looking to book? I would recommend checking out the pdf deck plans to see how many 3-person rooms are actually in that area. 

 

With that being said, we just stayed in a Family Harbor interior on the Panorama last week and I can't say enough good things about it. The room and lounge were great, and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Since these cabins are very popular with families they may be keeping a 4 person cabin strictly for 4 people only.  I am sure they will not have any problem with filling that particular number in the harbor family area.  Have you called to confirm this cabin is not available to a 3 person situation? 

 

Also, keep in mind that in some cases if you book a cabin that has a larger people capacity and they have an opportunity in the future to fill it with the capacity for that cabin, you could be moved from it into a different cabin anyway.  It has happened in the past, not often but there is always the possibility.

A Carnival PVP has more access to room inventory

I have reached out to my pvp but they are on vacation for a while. So figured I could ask here
