would Grand Suite on Enchantment sleep 5

[crusinot]

My travel agent offered our family of 5 2 adults and children ages 19, 15, & 12 a grand suite on Deck 8 of enchantment. I was looking at the floor plans and I can only see where it would sleep 5. We currently have 2 ocean view rooms booked for our first Aug 2014 cruise. Any comments or suggestions would be helpful. I did see where the royal family suite would sleep 5. I am trying to keep the cruise affordable due to the fact that we are doing an extended family vacation in Disney just prior to the cruise.

It looks to me that a GS on Enchantment would hold a max of 4 people. I don't see any that have pullmans, in addition to the sofa bed.

Not to mention the extra bathroom you get by having two rooms is sure to come in real handy.

I would go with the 2 rooms. We travel with our 2 boys (now 21 & 18) and have tried both options (1 large suite vs 2 rooms) throughout the years and found the extra bathroom was worth everything.

GS will only fit 5 if they will allow a rollaway in there - there is no Pullman so the twins that convert and a sofa bed is all there is

 

I do know there was a family of 5 w/teenagers in an OS on Explorer when we were on however I don't know what their sleeping arrangements were

Thank you everyone,

I was thinking that the two rooms would be better. Extra bathroom is a plus. Good point.

The RFS is simply awesome, if funds provide that's the way to go.

With the cruise specials going on I am hoping that I can get a good price. I planned this 4 night cruise to follow a week long Disney vacation with my husbands family. I am hopeful that my husband will love cruising and we can book again. It took me 15 years to convince him to try this one. :rolleyes:

Look at keeping the GS with one of the inside category K cabins across the hall. Many times the rates for the K cabins are the same or less than what you old pay for the 3/4 person rates in the suite..

[crusinot]

Good idea.. I can check on that as well.

Five people in any one "room" sounds just awful...

and you get all the Suite perks with the RFS:)

Having sailed on the Enchantment twice ... both times in a suite ... I would recommend you look into an Owner's Suite. It's huge ... much, much larger than the GS.

 

We had four in our OS, and I don't think five would be a problem. As long as you can figure out the sleeping arrangements. I think a rollaway would work and still give you all plenty of space. The bathroom is huge with double vanity. And the closet space is insane.

 

I think the suite perks are definitely worth it. Just my opinion.

Owner's Suite on your 3 night cruise would cost a total of $3026 for the five of you. A Grand Suite would be $2727.

 

The OS is about 50% larger than the GS.

All three kids would be free in the OS or GS on this particular cruise. The promo is there. At least NOW it is. ;)

I am a family of 5 too. I have never heard of RCCL allowing 5 people in a regular suite. Only the family suites? Every room is limited to 4 people, tops..... Is your agent booking a family suite or a Grand suite? Grands will only work for 4 people.

 

As mentioned above, the 2 bathrooms really helps make the cruise pleasurable. 5 sharing 1 bathroom is difficult. Did you try to book a balcony with an inside room across the hall? Only the 5th person would be free... but I am sure 5 can not be put in a suite on RCCL. Carnival and other lines, yes, it is done.
