Our first cruises on HAL were with kids. 4 of us in an ocean view. First time the kids were 11 & 12 (12 days in the Mediterranean during my deployment leave from Afghanistan. Second with kids was a Christmas Caribbean 10 day with kids 13 & 14. Was very fun but will never have 4 people in a cabin again aside from a huge suite, but would hesitate even then for the privacy thing. Personally, without kids, no more than 2 per cabin is happy, but clearly budgets do impact this.
