Interior space Catalina27 vs Alberg30

What is the composition of your family. You don't need to answer that if you don't want. But reading here of other peoples experiences it seems one of the important factors in keeping families sailing together is that their teenagers have a separate and private space. Neither of the boats you mention is going to do that, in fact you are going to have to look at boats starting at about 35 feet to support a family on a vacation cruise in a manner that everyone wants to be there.
Private berths for two teens, a functional galley, head with shower, and enough cold storage to satisfy a teen's appetite and you have a pretty good sized sailboat. You can keep your children sailing with you as long as they have to, but once they start being their own person, they will have to want to go sailing with you, and that doesn't very often happen with a too small sailboat.
Hope this helps,
John
