Need help with stateroom choice!

Look into a Jr suite. It may be a little more but lots more space and a tub. It also has priority embarking which would be nice for the kids.

If you added a 3rd kid - could you book the family balcony? . . . and would the third also be free?

 

Haha! Well I don't think that's going to be our solution but you gave me a good laugh. :)

He didn't mean that you should actually acquire a third child, tiffy. He means that you should book a "ghost" 5th person, so that they let you book the family stateroom. Since "kids sail free", you would only be paying taxes/port fees. Then the 5th person is a "no-show" at the pier, and you would actually get those taxes/fees back.

 

Sneaky, but that's what he meant.

LOL, oh I get it now. I thought that would have been an awfully radical solution to propose. :) That is sneaky, but I like it. The kids sail free promo says it applies to a triple or quad occupancy stateroom so it doesn't look like that would work out anyway. Oh well, at least we have our balcony now. Thanks!

Can't hurt to try. :)

Update! Got an email today that the room we were waitlisted for was now available. We had gone on the waitlist for the family oceanview with balcony since when I called they would only give them to parties of 5 or more. I called and we were able to get the room for our party of 4 since they just released those rooms to the general population. They even kept our kids sail free promo so it didn't cost much more than our balcony room. I couldn't be happier. Thanks for the tip!

I knew at some point you would get the stateroom...glad it worked out!

 

You will enjoy the extra space and the larger balcony.
