thriftycrafter Posted February 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2018 We are looking at a last minute family cruise and this is an option, has anyone tried 4 adults in a cabin, did you all survive? Is there enough room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted February 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2018 OMG I wouldn't have thought so. What sort of cabin. We have had insides and outsides. Just about room enough for two. Can you get 4 in a Balcony or suite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielundecided Posted February 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2018 2 adults and 2 teenagers here. We could (barely) survive in an outside cabin last year for a week - so the way onwards in the future, like this year, is balcony cabins upwards.

philipsw285 Posted February 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I did 4 days on oriana in 2012 on the 175th aniversery cruise 4 adults my parents who are in their 70's and me and my brother it wasn't good by the end luckily it finished saturday morning so i had 2 days to sleep before i went back to work you all start getting grumpy with each othe especialy as my brother is a messy so and so which caused friction the bathrooms arn't designed with 4 adults in mind either and there is a lack of wardrobe space as well. This was an outside cabin we needed to reduce the cost as we had already done the med on azura that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranchi Posted February 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 18, 2018 We have managed fine but we don’t spend much time in the cabin. The main pinch point is the bathroom before dinner. It is advisable to have some sort of rota. Ours worked on the early showerers got pre prandial tipple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted February 18, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 18, 2018 OMG I wouldn't have thought so. What sort of cabin. We have had insides and outsides. Just about room enough for two. Can you get 4 in a Balcony or suite? We always have a balcony cabin and I would not want to have 4 people in one of them. We have had a 4 year old with us on 2 occasions and that was more than enough. I can't speak for a suite as we never stayed in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyday2 Posted February 18, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Plenty of room! Even in inside cabin. We shared a cabin for four a few years ago (inside). There were four adults. Gets a it but crowded when getting dressed for dinner but we did a rota. My husband and daughter's fiance changed first then went to the bar and waited for my daughter and I to get ready. No problems :D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted February 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2018 We have had 3 in a balcony cabin and that was just fine but if I am being honest I don't think 4 would have been, for us anyway. The balcony was certainly useful to get at least someone out of the way while one used the bathroom and the other the dressing table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Sharon Posted February 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I spent 3 weeks on Oriana with 3 adults in an inside cabin and it was fine. You do need to be organised and have a bathroom rota of sorts, but none of us spent much time in the cabin anyway. the biggest issue was which of us was the fittest to climb into the upper berth!

joro44 Posted February 23, 2018 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) It is important to divide up the drawers etc before unpacking, taking care to allocate wardrobe rail space so that evening dresses can hang correctly. Extra hangers are usually available from your steward, who will also store your cases, saving cabin space. You may find one hair dryer is not enough. A set of small pegs will help with overnight smalls drying!

Is there enough room? Plenty of room, no problem at all. Of course there isn't room for all four of you to move around in the cabin at the same time, but then you never need to. If you all insist on showering twice a day, that might slow the job down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thriftycrafter Posted February 25, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Thanks everyone, unlikely that the hairdryer would be a problem as only one of us is likely to use one, but valuable information everyone. We managed to get an offer we couldn't refuse on 2 cabins, but this is useful for future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
