Hi we are from the UK and doing our first cruise on EOS in Feb 09 12 nights southern caribbean so you know far more about cruising than us! Our kids are 8 and twins of 5 so younger than yours but we have a family oceanview which sleeps five - not sure if any other ships offer this option but that is one of the reasons we chose RCI was to cut down on the cost of having 2 rooms!

Call eash cruiseline you're interested in, and get real prices! You don't HAVE to book when you call! But, that's the best way to get the info you need, for the dates that you want!

Hi,

 

We love cruising. We took our son with us in 2008 (AUG) on Carnival. Each cabin was approx $2400 after tax/fees,surcharges for 7 days for 3 people, oceanview, category 6B. We had a king sized bed (pushed together) and a sleeper sofa. My sis in law is 6 feet tall and she was comfortable on the sleeper sofa.

 

I'm not sure how much it would end up being but for example:

 

1 oceanview room sleeping 5 people would look like this:

 

approx $900 for first 2 people, approx $700 each for passengers 3,4,5

 

We had a party of 3 in each room, and booked 2 rooms. We had connecting oceanview rooms on this last cruise since we had our son with us. He was 4 yrs old at the time. My in-laws had the connecting room with 3 people there too. Some rooms/ships will accomodate 5 in the room, you have to ask.

 

Deposits are usually $250 per person at the time of booking.

 

I enjoyed Carnival cruises because of the age range and it is a more relaxed atmosphere--party type but not too much partying..My husband is 46, I am 38. My father in law is 75, MIL is 68, SIL is 30 and the mood of the ship suited all of us just fine, even my 4 yr old son.

 

Good luck to you! Camp Carnival was one of the major reasons I booked there with my son and also the price range. My son thoroughly enjoyed camp and also the gameroom and each of the beaches that we stopped at.

Can I just say that there is no way to say how much without doing your own mock booking. Go to the Carnival site, put in 7 days into the search and the time of year you want to go and hit go. ;)

 

What time of year will come into play ALOT. My cruise for the 4 of us on Feb 1 would be $2,900 MORE if I waited 2 weeks and went over Valentine's day. :p So one week to the next could vary greatly.

 

On Carnival.com, I just pulled up some rates for May 2, 2009.

 

Carnival Valor - 7 days - Miami - Caribbean (Grand Caymen, Roatan, Belize, Cozumel)

 

Guest 1 and 2 in each cabin

INSIDE - $489pp

OUTSIDE - $609pp

 

Guest 3 in one cabin

INSIDE - $279.00pp

OUTSIDE - $309.00pp

 

So price for 5 for 7 days-

$2,235 for TWO inside cabins

$2,745.00 for TWO outside cabins

 

Add about $400 for govt fees and taxes.
