It kinda depends on the kids. We just did a cruise on the Pearl, obstructed view cabin. It had a queen, a twin sized trundle bed, and a twin sized flop down from the wall bunk. The queen/trundle made into what almost looked like one really wide bed, it was wall to wall, with only 'bout two inches in between. So if at least one kid can sleep in the top bunk, and others can sleep close together, it is doable. We had three adults with no problems at all...

"...Does anyone know if the Norwegian Jewel has a topless/nude deck?..."

Yes it does, along with the Pearl, Gem, and Jade. Deck 15 forward. Small, only 'bout 18 deck chairs (at least on the Pearl). Sometimes empty, sometimes SRO. Everything from fully clothed to nude, men, women, young, old, big, little, you name it. It was our favorite place on the ship...

"...I was on the Pearl two years ago in cabin 8050 and it was totally unobstructed..."

That is good news, since we are going to be in that cabin for 19 days come Sep! I saw the Pearl go by a couple of times in the last few weeks, heading for Alaska. I could only see the port side, and it looked like there were some mini-lifeboats hanging 'bout where 8050 would be on the starboard side...

You, sir, do have a way with words:) :) :)
