luv2zdworld Posted March 8, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I am planning a cruise with my sister for July. Looking at cabins for my family, trying to keep our costs low, I was wondering if booking an inside cabin for 4 adults would be doable. Booking the inside would save us $800. We have always cruised on two cabins and never on an inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kezzie62 Posted March 8, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 8, 2014 We did a inside K on Explorer of the Sea as a last minute deal. There is not a lot of room for 2 Adults I would never try to fit in 4 adults. Take 2 cabins.

cmason Posted March 9, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Think of an inside cabin as the size of a basic dorm room, and then you can picture how four adults would do in it. Think of the cabin divided into 1/3rds. At the far end 1/3 (opposite end from the door) are the two beds. The middle 1/3 is a two seat sofa across from a built in dresser/desk with chair. The remaining 1/3 is the bathroom and a closet, as well as the door. An inside cabin will have two twin beds they push together to make a queen, plus two pullmans, which are basically bunk beds that pull down from the ceiling. These are typically over the other two beds. They pull them down at night. This means that you have four individual beds, and seating for three (including the deck chair). The cabin space is quite small. To picture it, imagine a twin bed, with head of bed against far wall. There is about two feet of space before a two seat (love seat) sofa, and then the wall of the bathroom. So your cabin area open room for four adults is the space of a love seat+2 feet, by the width of two twin beds + 2 feet. Can four adults stay in this space? Of course they can. Are you great friends that will find the close quarters great fun, or do you need space a quiet time alone? If the later, your vacation might be more enjoyable with two cabins. If you would spend a week with four in a typical dorm, then you would be ok with an inside cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2zdworld Posted March 9, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Thank you for your response. They echo what I was thinking. Now I have to ask everybody what they want to do. I believe DH would like the savings, but not the tight quarters. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmf123 Posted March 9, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 9, 2014 luv2zdworld, personally I couldn't do it. How comfortable will the four of you be, staying in close quarters (160 s.f.) and sharing one bathroom? Do the sleeping configurations (upper berth, etc.) work for everyone? While two cabins would certainly be preferred, if budget doesn't permit that, then also consider (any guys going?) using the showers in the locker room of the spa to get ready. Your itinerary is port-intensive and will have 4 or 5 busy port days. If your family can organize sleeping and getting ready times, I wouldn't want to miss out on a week aboard the Jewel if you can manage! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerif Posted March 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I could have done it when I was in college - now, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie51 Posted March 9, 2014 #9 Share Posted March 9, 2014 If 4 of you are in one inside cabin you'd better all really like each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dln929 Posted March 9, 2014 #10 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Sharing a bathroom with three other adults would be the deal breaker for me. Bad enough having to share with my husband! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
