westcruzer Posted February 12, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I have a friend who is taking his first cruise and he has a family of 5. I tried to look up info but was not able to come up with an answer. If they have rooms but they are not balcony rooms which rooms can hold 5 in a cabin?

vickiw0318 Posted February 12, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Would you please let us know which ship/itinerary your friends are thinking about so we can give you specific info? None of RCI's ships have basic cabins that hold five, but there are several varieties of family cabins or adjoining cabins that could work for them.

westcruzer Posted February 12, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted February 12, 2012 any caribbean cruise on an RCI cruise. They are very flexible. Ages 60-55-20-18-16 They want to keep to one cabin if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherFan Posted February 12, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Royal Family Suites (holds 6 comfortably) or the Presidential Suite (holds up to 16). You need to call RCL directly or a TA would need to call RCL for you to get the pricing on these rooms they don't show the prices on the website.

They have large suites but they are expensive. You have to call to get the price. It most likely will be much less money to get 2 connecting cabins.

mtmomof3 Posted February 13, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2012 We are a family of 5 and initially had the same thought of wanting to all be in one cabin (esp with the youngest being 7 at the time) but instead booked connecting balcony rooms. The biggest advantage of 2 rooms was having an additional bathroom -- we were able to get ready for dinner in half the time. Also, depending on the ship (we were on FOS), you may be able to have your cabin steward open up the balcony divider and double your balcony space. Unfortunately, there are very few of these room combos and they can fill up fast (we booked a year out). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladybug1s Posted February 13, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I had to purchase a Family OceanView Suite for our ( 5 ). And it was the only one! Try Adjoining rooms. That was not an option for me, I'd rather have my kids in the same room;) Oh, this was the "Enchantment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladybug1s Posted February 13, 2012 #9 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Did you have to call and order directly,or does it allow you online to do the connecting rooms? Future Reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted February 13, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Did you have to call and order directly,or does it allow you online to do the connecting rooms? Future Reference. You certainly could book online if connecting cabins are showing up as avaliable. If you have a travel agent or just call the cruise line directly they can do it for you.
