Default Cruising with 5 people

We are planning on sailing the Panama Canal in April. Does anyone know of a cruise line that offers 5 people per cabin? We have 3 kids.

Several cruise lines have "Family Cabins" or "Family Suites". I would be asking this on the Celebrity and RCI boards.

I see that you are booked on the Equinox for April 1 -- as there are 5 of you -- what kind of a cabin did you book?

We also have 3 kids. Not too many cruises have cabins for 5 persons. Even if there are family suites, they are usually very expensive. An alternative is to book connected cabins (i.e., 2 cabins connected with inside doors). If you keep the connecting doors open, they are just like a large cabin but with 2 bathrooms. The connected cabin option can be cheaper than family suite.

Well so far there is the NCL Sun and. Star (. According to the Internet.) Also a couple of the Disney ships.

Will look into and report back....
