Thanks for the heads up. An extended balcony at a balcony price. Hopefully Carnival will not catch on and switch these to extended balconies. The rooms below you are ocean suites. They have a bigger room but your balcony is bigger.

[@dREAMwShan]

Love the simple color scheme they’re doing for the newer cruises. 2questions: Do you think a standard balcony room would be spacious for older children also and how about the bunk beds(just right for smaller kids only or would older kids be comfortable as well?

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

The bunk beds are basically the same twin size beds that you get when the beds are not put together to make a queen so it’s really the same size and can sleep an adult comfortable in my opinion. I know I would sleep in my parents bunk for free before paying for my own room lol

[@allenfamilyadventures859]

The 360 is absolutely amazing! I know with covid, camp ocean is closed, but had things been normal would you have booked a family harbor balcony?

[@Allthatroz1]

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Nice!

[@cdecker84]

Question: We have 2 girls of similar age, and worried about sharing 1 room. Have you run into problems of kids not falling asleep, or privacy issues sharing a room with your kids? Thank you for making these great videos!!!

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Wussup Chris! I feel like for this age 5 & 6 we don’t really need another room. We did a connecting room on the Carnival Paradise recently and it was amazing to have the extra space but I think we still have a few years before we make that a thing. What I would say is if the cruise is cheap like the Carnival Paradise then book the connecting room but I wouldn’t pay any crazy prices until it’s really necessary

[@cdecker84]

@@aRICHandJAZZYLife Thanks for the quick response!!! I’m finding that we can do connecting interiors for cheaper than 1 balcony actually. We’ve always done interiors and think we can sacrifice. I love the idea of having 2 bathrooms, we had 2 rooms on the Indy of the Seas this year and loved that aspect of it. They actually upgraded us for no charge from a ultra spacious ocean view to 2 connecting promenade view rooms due to our booked deck being shut down for possible Covid quarantine guests. Not sure if we can swing the 1 rooms but you are encouraging saying it’s not totally necessary.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

@@cdecker84 if I have to choose between 1 balcony or connecting interior then the connecting interior wins for sure. It’s also pretty sweet to close the door when the kids go to sleep 😉

[@karenclarke6801]

[@lisettecollins811]

Hey, great video, beautiful family! My family and I are booked on Mardi gras for April ‘22, we have a balcony but I really like the one you had, much safe for our kiddos. Question, was your view obstructed or ruined in any way since you can see balconies below and also I noticed a white wall in front? Am I seeing correctly? Just curious what you thought of view and also if there was any more noise than typical belong closer to lower decks? Thx.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Hey Lisette! No it wasnt obstucted at all, we actually were happy water wasnt directly below with kids lol. We booked a regular balcony room on 10 and didnt realize it was so big. As for views tho, it was great. We had not noticed any extra noise

[@lisettecollins811]

@@aRICHandJAZZYLife thank you, changing my room now, lol! My agent says it has to be an extended balcony, but on the site it’s not described as such, but you can clearly see on map that it’s a larger balcony. I’m kinda surprised a carnival agent wouldn’t know this? Did all the balconies to your sides seem to be the same type? I’m looking at a cabin about 6 or 8 cabins down from where you were.

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Hey so there basically if you look at the video there is like a “bump” near the middle ish where the balcony rooms stick out a bit further but as far as we could see, only 9-10 seem to be bigger. Our exact room was 10458 if they helps

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Yes 6-8 rooms down would be the same size balcony.

[@lisettecollins811]

Thank you! I booked 10446! So excited and more at ease knowing my kiddos are even safer!

[@lifewithcharlesandleah]

What is the name and model of your 360 camera? I don't think it's listed in the description?

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

It’s a GoPro 360 max

[@Juancarlo4342]

That camera is float.

[@darrellbattle6372]

How was it traveling with the kids and not having the Kids Club H2O?

[@aRICHandJAZZYLife]

Well it was tough for that little break you usually get. We had my sister on the ship so we were able to go out at night. The kids will overall still had a great time

[@darrellbattle6372]

My husband mentioned that. He laughed and said, “ oh sister in law is on the ship,so they got a baby sitter”😂😂😂 I appreciated that message at the end of the video. We too travel with our boys and when they cancelled the kids club, we “ALL” (kids included) we’re super sad. My husband no longer wants to go. So what kinds of activities did you do with the girls kn the ship? I imagine there were not many catered to entertaining children. Carnival really needs to rethink this idea. For goodness sake, they are tested 24-72 hr prior to embarkation, again before embarkation got of the ship and lastly before disembarking to return home.
