QE family rooms?

[sho]

We are a family of four (2 adults and 2 children age 5 and 10) planning to go on QE cruise in the Mediterranean. We are thinking of Britannia balcony rooms. Apparently all the balcony rooms can accommodate a maximum of 3 people. So we are thinking of having 2 balcony rooms for our family. But the ship does not have any connecting rooms at all.

What is the best type of cabin accommodation for us?

Any advice appreciated.

From looking at the deck plans, it appears the only staterooms that accommodate 4 are the deluxe interiors on deck 1.

4 in a cabin will be a real squeeze so you might want to consider a balcony and an inside cabin opposite each other. That way the children get to sleep well in a darkened room and you can check on them easily.

Your children are too young to be in a cabin on their own, so you would need to have one adult and one child in each cabin.

yes, that's why I don't think QE is particularly designed for families with children.

We don't like inside cabins, partly because it will be too crowded for 2 adults and 2 children, also the 3rd or 4th berth are from the walls, not convenient or safe, also we prefer a balcony with seaview.

Therefore we are considering to have 2 balcony rooms side-by-side. We understand the rule that one adult has to stay with one child in each cabin. It would be better if the two rooms would connect. But apparently no Britannia balcony rooms connect.

Even if I opt for a Queen Grill suite on QE, it can only accommodate a maximum of 3 people and that's no good for a family of 4.

You may find that the balconies interconnect.

Most of the dividers between balconies can be opened to allow for a larger balcony but the rooms themselves do not have a door between them. Your cabin steward can open the passage on the balconies for you.

I am working with my travel agent on a possible Cunard cruise next summer for my husband, myself and our 2 children (ages 6 and 9). She said that the only Cunard ship with quad cabins is the QM2 so we'd have to get two cabins. She also made a point to mention that they do not offer connecting cabins.
