can your daughter sleep on the pull down bunk in teh second room? if they are willing to do that, id go 2 bedroom. you cannot bring non-suite guests into breakfast and lunch, and you cant bring non-haven guests into the haven area. they can come to your room. you really cant make a habit of ordering them food from either place to your room if they arent suite guests.

Thank you, the information about the pull down is helpful. I wasn't finding anything online referencing it's actual existence so I was thinking my daughter would be stuck on the sleeper in the living room.

Knowing there is a bunk makes me lean towards the 2 bedroom suite vs separate rooms.

and...go Pats :) I'm originally from Boston myself.

Good morning,

We are in the early planning stages of a March 2019 cruise on the Pearl and are trying to determine the room arrangement that best accomodates our family's needs.

Traveling - Me, hubby, our 11 year old daughter and my mother

Options: One 2 bedroom family suite or one penthouse suite for hubby and I plus a second room for mom and daughter

Booking two rooms is slightly more expensive, but only nominally so and would give us all Signature Dining for at least 3 nights vs 3 nights for the first two guests only in a family suite. We would also get $400 in onboard credits between the two rooms vs $300 in a family suite. We would also gain some privacy and kiddo would get her own bed vs sleeping on the sleeper in the family suite's living room.

We may be able to bring mom and kiddo to the breakfasts, etc that the suite guests are entitled to but I'm not 100% certain on that but with room service and other dining options, this is certainly not a deal breaker for us.

Thoughts for those of you familiar with this ship would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you. This may seem like a dumb question, but we are booked for March 2018, so we are still in the early stages of planning and research. But what is there to see of Na Pali Coast? I've heard mention of it, but what is it? Why would it be good to be Port side to see it?

 

TIA

The Na Pali coast is on the northern side of Kauai. The ship does a sail by on the way out of Kauai and the scenery is absolutely beautiful :)

which side of the ship would be best for viewing?

We were just on the ship last week :) Starboard/Right for viewing lava flow, Port/left for viewing Na Pali Coast

Enjoy!
