Inside or balcony room on EPIC with 21 month old?

[cantwaitforoasis]

Hi. We booked an inside cabin and we'll have a 21 month old. Looking at the floor plan and pictures of the room, how will a pack n play fit in the room? What about if we upgraded to a balcony?

 

The balcony will cost $400 more than the inside stateroom. It is do-able for us but if i dont have to spend it, that's what i'd rather. However is a balcony going to change our experience enough to make it worth the cost?

 

We have cruised Disney, just us two adults, on an inside cabin. We have cruised on Disney with a porthole, which was worlds better than the inside cabin. We also just did the Oasis with the window, which was great.

 

Thanks!

A balcony will give you someplace "to be" when baby is napping or down for the night....it would be horrible to have to sit quietly in a darkened room with nowhere to go. Get a balcony.

As someone who cruised with an 11month old not too long ago with just a window, I agree with PP. You need a balcony. We are considering another cruise this year and of course I'd rather not spend more than I "have" to but I'll definitely be shelling out for a balcony. As PP said you'll need somewhere to be during naps and early bedtime.

i upgraded to a balcony and got room 14107, which has a larger balcony for an upgrade cost of only $310 thanks to a $50 on board credit promotion.

Good call... I can't imagine being with the kids without a balcony...it definitely give you "grown up" space in the cabin. Have fun
