asdjl Posted January 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hello! I am looking for opinions from more experienced cruisers than myself. Last year, may 3 kids and I went on the NCL Getaway and had 2 connecting balcony rooms. It was a great trip! I am now excitedly in the process of planning a trip on the Magic for myself and the younger 2 kids (oldest will be on school DC trip and husband does not think he would like a cruise, strange I know!) We liked having 2 rooms, (it meant 2 bathrooms and 2 tvs, etc), however Carnival won't book minors in a balcony room without an adult (they will do one balcony and one interior across the hall). So I am considering 2 Ocean View rooms (which I think they will do) or possibly an Ocean View suite. I have not been in a suite before and would love opinions from people who know more about this than me! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2sml Posted January 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2015 How old are the kids? We like having the extra room in a suite and on our last cruise it was cheaper for us to book 2 in the suite and 2 in an interior across the hall than all 4 of us in the suite. My kids (teens) loved having the darker room and we got them a key to our room so they could use the balcony anytime they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labsnabys Posted January 15, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Magic also has a Deluxe Ocean view which sleeps up to 5 people and has a separate washroom in addition to the main bathroom. Depending on the ages of your kids, I would consider that rather than two rooms. If your kids are older and/or you want your own privacy, then connecting Ocean view rooms would be nice too! That said, we did a suite (on the Miracle) with two adults and our two kids who were 11 and 13 at the time, and there was plenty of space. Sharing a bathroom was the only inconvenience. Have fun planning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNJCruisers Posted January 15, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I would go with the Deluxe OV, which has the second bathroom which will come in handy. Since there are only 3 of you, the monies saved over the other two options can be used towards excursions or the Cheers program for yourself if you like to indulge. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
