5 In A Room?

[astros1]

Has anyone booked 5 in a room on The Elaton? Thinking about doing this, since this wil be our famliy's second cruise this year. Thanks for any info!

Yes we have done 5 in room on the elation where 2 adults and three teenagers it was very tight but not to bad as you know your mnot ther often except when getting ready.

Be sure and check prices- sometimes in cheaper to get a second cabin instead of paying the extra person charges!

It's small enough for 2 people, I couldn't imagine 5 people unless it was a suite, the Elation seems cheap enough, that it probably won't be that bad to get 2 cabins.

How does 5 in a room work? I did some searches on future cruises for 5 in a room and it never returned any availability..

 

Our 3rd child is on the way so I'm just planning for the future. :D

Talked to carnival today and booked 5 in 1 room. Two pull down beds, 2 twin pushes together to make king, and 1 rollaway bed. I forgot to ask the square footage, but oh well, coziness is just going to be it;)

I believe the cabins are 185 sq. ft. We've done 5 in a cabin. It's definitely tight when the rollaway is unfolded, but other than that, we were fine.

Only the older ships (and they're not that old......Fantasy Class) permit rollaway beds. That's why you can book 5 in a quad room.

You can also book Destiny class ships. It's the Spirit and Conquest ships that won't allow you to book more than 4 in a room. New rule.

It's not so much of a space problem, when you are sleeping. The biggest problem is 5 people sharing the same bathroom. With just the 4 of us sharing (never again) I have found that you sometimes have to hightail it to a public bathroom, big hassle.

Thanks for all the responses! Still thinking about which way to go!

We've booked a room on the Elation for 3/13 with 4 people and presume it will be fine since only one of those people is a teenage girl. any more than 1 teenager and the rest of the crew would have to share a neighbor's bathroom! ha ha. If your family members are older, see if you can get adjoining rooms with bunk beds - those rooms are very reasonable in price. We tried to get an adjoining room for the kids, but they were all sold out. there are some age restrictions to that but it's a great idea and not any more expensive than sharing the room.
