Such a thing as inside and balcony connecting cabins?

[mcgrate]

I know this is a long shot... but does anyone know if such a room configuration exists? An inside room and a balcony room connecting? Not cruiseline specific yet - just looking at options.

2 adults, 1 child and 1 baby - on some lines it looks cheaper to book 2 inside rooms than 1 balcony room.

Thanks!

No. It would look like you would find at least an Ocean view next to a balcony.

 

You may want to check some of the new mega ships. I think some have inside balconies. They might have your configuration

Actually, I think they have two balcony cabins that connect to an inside on Royal Caribbean Freedom and Voyager class ships - look at deck plans for deck 9. But because there are only two cabins with this combo, I bet they book up quickly.

 

I would second PP suggestion and look at Oasis class ships - they have connecting balconies, which overlook Central Park or the Boardwalk area. The aft cabins in Boardwalk area can view ocean, but they can also be a bit noisy. We met a couple that I our last cruise who booked connecting ocean view cabins and they said it worked out perfectly for their two young children.

That's right...Voyage and Freedom class ships DO have a balcony that connects to an inside...very cool for families!

Carnival's Spirit class have these, six in total per ship, all the way forward. EM

Connected by the hallway...

Nothing on HAL like that -- so you can eliminate that cruise line.

Celebrity has a room called a Family room. It sleeps 5, and can only be booked for 5 until they decide to release it closer to sailing.

 

The family rooms are a bedroom with a large bed, a smaller room with bunk beds, and a living room with a sleeper sofa. There is only one bathroom, in the common area. There is an ocean view room that can be connected, providing sleeping for 7-8 easily.

Carnival Miracle, Spirt, Pride and LEgend have this configuration.

there are two combo cabins on each deck so not many to chose from

 

and these go rather quickly

Just curious why you would not just all stay in the same balcony cabin. Friends of mine took their 2 little ones (ages 3 and 1) and they stayed in a mini-suite on NCL which I believe had a bathtub. It saved quite a bit of money too.

 

Here's what I would do. And I'm just putting it out there for consideration. I would book a balcony and an inside across the hall and bring a sitter along to stay in the inside room with the children.

Not sure what cruise line you are looking at, but on Carnival (on Magic, Dream, Breeze or Vista), if you book two connecting cove balconies, you can probably ask to have the storm door of one cabin closed, which would turn it into a ocean view room. I can't guarantee that they will oblige your request, but it can't hurt to ask.
