4 Adults in one room?

[sue1138]

This will be my parents first cruise and they are only paying port fees and taxes because of a promotion from our home casinos.

My question is with NCL free 3rd and 4th guest option me and the wife could get on with just paying the port fees and taxes also. Can 4 adults fit in a room if we upgraded to a balcony room ? My parents are in there mid 60’s

Has anyone ever tried this . I understand it will be tight but for the price.

It is also on the NORWEGIAN BLISS

Four adults in one room for your parents first cruise? No. Don't even think about it. Doable? Yes. Enjoyable? Not even.

 

For their first cruise, let them have their own cabin. Spend the money for a much better experience.

Find a room that is roughly 10 x 17. Now imagine 4 of you living in that space for a week.

 

 

Can you do it? Of course! The guys that went to the moon spent longer than that in not a lot less space, and they weren't even related. Should you and your wife do it with your parents? No

 

 

BTW do you even know if the casino deal that you have allows the 3rd and 4th to sail free?

[Shidah]

If you are okay knowing up front that walking in the room, storage, bathroom concerns, uncomfortable bedding for two individuals, etc might not be ideal, I'd say go for it. Like you mentioned, for the price you can't go wrong. Many people spend very little time in their rooms. If that describes your family, It's a great deal. Each family is different and has their own space requirements.

Before you worry about 4 adults in 1 cabin, are you SURE your parents casino promotion will coincide with the 3rd & 4th free?

 

Also, an NCL balcony, just regular balcony cabin may have a very small settee that 'usually' pulls out to a very small bed. Nothing that 2 grown adults would fit on.

[DMH15]

I would never consider it.

Yikes!! It's challenging for 4, even if 2 are children. Whew, I could never do it!

Way too small for four adults plus sharing one bathroom.

Here’s what a balcony room looks like on the Bliss. The 3rd person on the sofa. 4th person on a drop down Pullman from the ceiling (bunk bed)

I am doing 4 Adults in the Deluxe Owner’s Suite, don’t think there in another cabin on the Bliss that offers 2 proper beds - others are pullout sofas

[Love my butler]

Unless you are booked in a full suite, I would not even consider 4 adults in one room. The exception being I am operating on a tight, tight budget. Even then, you better like those other 3 people in the room. A lot.

[NCLfamily]

We share a balcony room with two teenage daughters (slim and petite). I couldn't imagine 4 full adults. Let alone, sharing with parents.

We just did that on the Escape and had no issues at all. A little tight on storage space but other than that it was OK. Then again we never spend much time in the cabin anyway so theres that.

[casofilia]

No Way!! We have not a great deal of spare room when there are just the two of us. Not only personal space where will you put all your "stuff"; clothes, shoes, toiletries, medicines and so on. Never mind the cases, books, computers.

[don't-use-real-name]

Get an adjacent cabin with common door or an Inside Cabin across the passageway.

 

If you wait till you are on board and realize that this situation is not going to work well -

well it maybe too late to make adjustments on a full ship.

 

One comment earlier about sharing one small bath facility - enough noted here !

 

If you go this route of -4- adults in a cabin you may never want to cruise this way again

and may spoil any thoughts of future cruises altogether.

 

If in a suite or much larger cabin -OK- it is a go - but for a standard balcony cabin I

believe the limits will have been stretched beyond reasonable personal comfort.

[newcruiser1956]

You would have zero room with both beds out, no place to move, I sure wouldn't do it if I still wanted to like each other at the end. The rooms are too small.

[PATRLR]

I'm with the others that say no.

 

However, maybe you have experience traveling with your parents. Do the 4 of you frequently travel together sharing a hotel room? Cut that hotel room in half. Could you still do it?

 

Unless you have experience sharing a room with them for an extended period of time, I wouldn't do it. Let them go and have a good time without you.

[MS52]

Not enough money in the world to make me do that. I would sooner stay home. It would be miserable for all. Just my opinion.....

yes, 4 to a room is doable.

sofa bed + drop down bed from the ceiling.

 

here's what 4 to a room looks like in a balcony with beds out (not my pics):

opt for a mini-suite instead.

the double sink in the bathroom would allow you and husband or parents to brush teeth/wash up at same time.

also, i think the sofa bed in the mini-suite is slightly bigger incase you dont want to use the drop down bed

Thank you everyone on the reply’s , and after reading comments I will definitely be tight for 4 of us. We don’t spend to much time in room but I believe it would be too tight. I will be getting my own room [emoji106]

Last month on the Epic's first Mediterranean sailing of the season, I talked with two of four adult women who had also been on the transatlantic sailing that preceded it, all sharing one interior stateroom. Although it was physically possible, they quarreled all the way across the Atlantic.

 

 

If the budget won't allow booking a second balcony stateroom, one relatively thrifty option is to book an interior across the corridor from the balcony room. This is often a good choice for families.

We did three in one cabin on the Sun and it worked out OK. However, we didn't spend much time in our cabin. Once the sofa bed was extended and made up, over half the cabin was blocked off. One thing to remember, for older males like me, they need an easy access to the toilet for late night visits.

 

I would not recommend four in a cabin. unless you had younger children. That sofa bed is not large and for two adults, it might not be so comfortable.

[Peachypooh]

I have never been on the Bliss but have been on the Jewell class ships where a family of four shared a balcony cabin. After the first night two had to sleep in our suite on the fold out sofa. And they were 5 and 7 at the time. Adults? No way.And who is going to climb up the ladder to the fold down bunk?? Not to mention the bathroom situation.
