twinmom2298 Posted February 23, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2013 We are considering going on explorer of the sea. Traveling would be myself, husband and, 16 yr old twins. We are debating between 1 outside 1700 sf cabin and 2 inside cabins. It looks like the price is almost identical and this would give us 2 bathrooms. Has anyone booked adjacent cabins with kids in one and adults in other? How did it work out? Would you do it again? Anything I should be considering?

molly361 Posted February 23, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I also would say 2 cabins!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macruisefan Posted February 23, 2013 #4 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I did not read your post. I only read the subject line. I am confident that whatever the specifics are, the answer, as always, is GET TWO CABINS!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we took our girls, also at age 16, we booked a balcony for us and they were in an inside right across the hall and it worked out great.

hondarr9 Posted February 23, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Done it both ways. 100% hands down 2 cabins! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted February 23, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Definitely 2 cabins...especially if the cost is the same! Cabins are nowhere near the size of even small hotel rooms. You'll be much more comfortable with separate spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvmesomeme Posted February 23, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I agree with everyone else. Two of my children are now adults but I have always used an inside room across from ours for them. I appreciated the time that my husband and I had of peace & quiet and they really enjoyed having their own. I also could not stand the thought of having the bunks over me while I slept. I look at it as a vacation and some special time for my husband and myself as well as a family vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akcruz Posted February 23, 2013 #9 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Another vote for 2 cabins. We all stayed in one until both my kids got to their teens, then we NEEDED the two bathrooms and extra space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkpad Posted February 23, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I always book my kids in another cabin, room, etc. the value of privacy far outweighs the cost of an additional room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug S Posted February 23, 2013 #11 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Also highly recommend 2 cabins. We always put our 3 boys across the hall in an inside, and we had a balcony. Had to originally book with one adult in each cabin, but very easy to change room assignments at GS when on board. Besides the advantages listed above, 3 teen boys do not have the same level of cleanliness that we expect. They also had different sleeping hours and tv preferences. Plus it is also a vacation for the adults, so a bit more privacy for us was much appreciated. Happier trip all around when we had 2 rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earn Posted February 23, 2013 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Easy answer two cabons, Now if the questio was between two inside cabins and one balcony it might be slightly harder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaCruzer Posted February 23, 2013 #13 Share Posted February 23, 2013 We are 4: wife, and 2 kids both 15 (my daughter and her best friend) as well as myself. We thought of one cabin, and no more than a few days later I thought that w old be too tight with one bathroom (and me with 3 females!), I quickly booked a second cabin and even though we haven't sailed yet, I know we did the right thing.

On the booking we had to put one adult in each room. Can we change it easily then at GS when on board as I wasn't sure if that was allowed? Many thanks.

DonnaK Posted February 23, 2013 #16 Share Posted February 23, 2013 When we took our girls, also at age 16, we booked a balcony for us and they were in an inside right across the hall and it worked out great. This is what we usually do...a balcony for us, and an inside or promenade across the hall for our daughters. We've also done connecting or adjacent cabins too.

Royal Caribbean's rule is that the cabins must be connecting, adjacent or directly across the hall from each other. Call RCI now, or have your travel agent call if you used one, and get the reservations straightened out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
