ladro Posted June 26, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2008 We are three going out of New Orleans for 5 day cruise..We can get a veranda or a suite for 200.00 more. Which way ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlodog Posted June 26, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 26, 2008 If you can do a suite for only $200 then go for it unless you want to save the money for other things like excursions. We have had up to 4 in an inside room--very cozy, but doable if you are like us and want to go rather than stay at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted June 26, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2008 ??? Sounds like you are talking about the Fantasy, they dont have any balcony cabins, just cat 11 and 12 suites that have balconys. For $200 more it sounds worth it to me. Ecstasy seem like the prices are about double for a suite over the price of regular cabins. Ecstasy does run higher than Fantasy though.

lady_cruiser Posted June 26, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I vote for a suite too. You can never go wrong and you will be glad to have the balcony to enjoy coffee in the morning and a drink in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted June 26, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Always book the largest room you can afford--it makes for a more comfortable trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GottaLuvCruising Posted June 27, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Three adults= 2 rooms Agreed! I cannot even imagine circumstances under which I would travel with a third adult in our room. I'd rather stay home. But to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekamax Posted June 27, 2008 #9 Share Posted June 27, 2008 They could all be friends and not a couple plus one. Three girls sailed in a inside cabin (travel agent's daughter and friends) and they did just fine. If you can afford it though go for the suite! If it is a couple and the third isn't a relative (like mom) than I'd deffinately go for 2 cabins if you can - a cruise is romantic...

satxdiver Posted June 28, 2008 #10 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I agree that it depends on the three adults. If it is same sex friends who are either young (20's or so) or accustomed to being together in confined spaces, one stateroom might work out well but someone gets either the couch or upper bunk depending on the stateroom configuration. If it is three ladies no matter what age, there may be a problem with only one small bathroom. If it is one couple plus one more particularly if they are related and different generations (parents + adult offspring or vice versa), then two rooms is the only viable solution! You certainly would save money with one stateroom but could ruin what should have been a wonderful vacation. Remember, once you are on the ship, you cannot go to the purser's desk and ask for an additional room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houch Posted June 28, 2008 #11 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I usually cruise with girlfriends. We are all in our late 50's and early 60's and none of us are "petite" gals. (hubbies don't like to travel so we leave them at home). Did 3 in an inside room on an older RCI ship, that was a bit tight as the room was the smallest one I have been in. We have done several with 4 in a room, both outside and balcony, all with 2 upper bunks which were quite comfortable. Never had a problem with sharing one bathroom even on the formal nights. None of us is into lots of makeup and all have wash and dry hair, so that eliminates a lot of bathroom time! Works for us and our cruises cost less!
