firefly333 Posted August 28, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 28, 2009 What ship are you considering?? An older ship with 5 in a cabin, or two cabins?? Two cabins would be nicer, two bathrooms. Put Granny in with the two kids? I wouldnt want my mom sleeping with me and my husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemom101 Posted August 28, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'm looking at the Dream. I don't want mom bunking with us either, but I don't want her to pay single fare either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks We once did Disney with 2 kids, DW, and her mom. They had a nice room for 5 that worked for us. Now we are 5 with a third child and mom comes along often too. Its usually two rooms. You could do a inside and outside cabin or two cabins next to each other. Some ships have a limited number of connecting cabins. The good thing is the 3rd person in these rooms is generally discounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Granny in with the two kids? I wouldnt want my mom sleeping with me and my husband. that was my first impression as well... i'd recommend... either 2 connecting interior / oceanview or balcony rooms (whichever fits your budget) - (the connecting factor is a good thing - more open space, and ability to pass through them. kids could come over to yours, and you all still be together) you could also get a balcony for yourself, and put kids / grandma directly across the hall... you could also get a balcony on dream, at the front of the ship, which are adjacent to the 4G 'inside' cabins with window to the 'secret deck' out front for a decent price... or the porthole oceanviews at the bow / front of the ship, again for a decent price. there's lots of options. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
