I called and fully booked until on board.

Cruising in 2 weeks- I cannot make a specialty dining reservation on any night and I have tried for days. It says keep trying. 
 

any suggestions?

Every time I try to book a specialty dining reservation I get an error for everyday!

The best option for us when ours was little was bringing an inflatable mattress called a ReadyBed (in Australia). It has a built in sleeping bag, so no need for sheets. Just ask your cabin steward to not pull down the pullman bunk, leave it away for the whole cruise duration. We would lay it up against the wall during the day and at night, just lay it flat down next to the kind bed. But what we did to make a bit more room was we moved one of the bedsides tables out, and place it next to the other one, IYKWIM. Then you push the big bed up against the wall. I know his photo shows an oceanview cabin, but they will be the same size.

 

I have an inflatable airbed for kids I was going to bring - almost the same I guess. THANK YOU

THANK YOU! Exactly what I was trying to see if it would fit. Not quite sure if we'd bump our heads into the pulldown bed on the wall though ha.

The interior space of a Balcony cabin isn't much different at all than an Inside cabin space.

i have an inflatable crib sized mattress figuring it’s a little bigger than a pack n play. Not sure if it will fit or not but better than the Pullman bed…. And of course co sleeping is an option. 
 

not much more room in a balcony? I’m surprised

My brother and his family have done it twice. They mentioned the sideways cabins seemed roomier because of the layout. (but the beds are the first thing you see when you open the door if that's a problem for you)

you don't happen to have a picture of the room w/ the layout or stuff do you? trying to guage just how much room it is.

thank you both! We've always done the balcony rooms but the promotion is a no brainer to take (and we get OBC too!) that I'm saying well let's rough it out for the 'next to free' cruise. 

Exactly how much are you in the room as it is anyway? easier said then done though!!

Received a deal for $199 rooms on a 7 night ..... we already have 2 cruises booked in balcony rooms so taking this interior room is an extra trip for nothing practically!  We have a 3 year old and never cruised in interior rooms ..... too crowded? managable? don't take the promotion? 

Tried looking for pictures with 3 - or with a pack-n-play or crib but couldn't find much online. 

Any insight would help! 

Thanks!

Saturday ... and there are 3 ships in port.

We haven't picked our hotel yet, but because of time constraints we are going to pick a close one to the colosseum.

Thank you! I requested the tour Co. to do that and they said a taxi would be better..... so I've requested again.

I did look up on another website how many cruise ships will be in port on our day and there are 3 in total (approx. 5,800 people).... seems optimistic compared to the other days that have 15,000+ people.

Our Princess Cruise docks at 5AM in Civitavecchia... I have emailed with Princess and they assure me that we can do a walk-off as early as 6AM. We only have 1 full day/ night in Rome and want to make the most of it. Please advise if the timing is doable or if it is cutting it close in the morning to make an 8:45AM tour.

Hoping to do a walk off with our luggage @ 6-6:30am

Private car service from the port to Rome (1 and 1/2 hours)

Drop our luggage off at the hotel and check in (figuring 15-20 min)

Cab it to the tour starting point at the coliseum. Tour starts at 9am but must be there at 8:45am.

Thoughts please!!

Thank you.... Again!
