Cramped in a balcony cabin with a toddler?! Help please!

We did Jewel in a balcony with our daughter (8 yrs old at the time) and it was a bit tight. Following 2 years on breakaway, we did family mini-suite. Three of us were OK, add in baby last year and it was crazy tight (4 of us). This year we upgraded to Haven Aft Facing PH, totally expecting this to be the perfect space for us now.

 

To be fair, we do expect to be making much more use of our room than usual so extra space will be necessary and welcome to our plan for this trip.

We have taken our son on 3 (soon to be 4) cruises and he's 5 years old. The balcony has suited us just fine. We did try an inside once (we were trying to save money, as we were doing a DCL balcony the same year) and the inside was a bit too cramped. Balcony has always been totally fine for what we need it for.

BTW on SOME ships (I know the Sun for sure) there are inside cabins that sleep FIVE. We booked two of these April 2015 an theer was a pretty decent amount of room for an inside cabin. That might even work for you if you want to save $$$. Of course in the balcony there is a sofa bed to the 3rd person whereas the inside use the pullman beds.
