    Help on Picking Cabin

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    NCL is having a sale that ends today and I want to book a cruise for my husband's 40 birthday on the Breakaway next year. I am going with my husband, and two kids (ages 5 & 8). Note I wear a patch because I used to get sea sick before I discovered it.
     
    I can't decide between
     
    MA - Mid ship, mini balcony, less rocking, near the kids club
    or
    M6 - Front of ship, far from kids club, but awesome balcony
     
    I would love the Haven, but we lost the lottery. Any and all opinions excepted.

    Go to the Spa as soon as you board and purchase. I usually purchase pre-cruise online now' date=' as there is a discount. [/size']

     

     

     

    My agent called yesterday and could not buy any.

    Just out of curiosity, but have you considered some land based all inclusive resorts? When our kids were much younger, we would go to a resort in Jamaica with nannies who watch the kids, which gave my wife and I plenty of relaxation time. When we finally did take a cruise on NCL (when they were five and three) they greatly disliked being dropped off at the kids club, so we had them with us the whole time anyway. While we enjoyed the cruise, we got a lot more relaxation in at the resort.

     

     

     

    I have, but we always go back to cruising. I hate being stuck in one spot.

    My kids are same ages. My wife stays home as well. Part of the reason we booked the Haven / spa cruise was for that week of relaxation. Mother in law likes having them for the week, was supposed to be win win. We did miss them a bit too much though! Probably take them with us on all figure cruises.

     

     

    This is our first cruise since our oldest was born. My youngest turns 3 in March so they both can finally go to the kids club. I am hoping (if things go according to plans) we can have some much needed relaxing time, but also some family time. Best of both worlds.

    I am afaid the kids these days do not enjoy it in general as they lose their "freedom" brace yourself.

     

     

     

    BTW I used to spend time with my kids and best days of my life and if they want to shout Mum or Dad so be it but I would remind them where they were. NCL = Noisy Children Loud

     

     

     

    I get that, but I am a stay at home Mom of a soon to be 3 and 6 year old. I send more then enough time with them. [emoji23]. I NEED me time. I would leave them with my mother in law, but I have never slept a night apart from them and don’t think a week is a good place to start.

    Because some kids don’t like the kids club. Because some parents want to spend time with their kids. Granted, those are generally not the kids misbehaving because their parents actually parent. Because kids club isn’t 24/7.

     

     

     

    I hope my kids like the kids club. I want to sit outside, read a book, and not hear Mommy. Even if it is for a few hours here or there. Fingers crossed.

    I have been on NCL a bunch and in the Haven, but this is the first time with my kids. I am trying to get an upgrade to the Haven. My question is, why are these kids not in the kids club? I “hope” to keep them in as much as I can.
