jpolm Posted December 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Anyone stay in the 179 sq ft room ov with 5? Wondering if we should get more room or is this doable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom.to.2 Posted December 5, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Honestly, I didn't think RCCL even ALLOWED 5 in an OV room. I was under the impression you needed a suite to go over 4 people per room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted December 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The ocean view cabin that would allow 5 would be the "Family" OV=FOV and the sq. ft. would depend on which ship you're considering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulders Posted December 5, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The family oceanviews are 300 sq ft. Disney and Carnival will allow 5 in a non-family cabin, but not Royal Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakenashleysmom Posted December 5, 2012 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I believe any ov cabin that would sleep 4 would only have a love seat as opposed to a sleeper sofa so there would be no place to put the 5th person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc320 Posted December 5, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 5, 2012 No way would I try to put 5 people in a 179 SF room...especially when you consider that includes the bathroom....Tight would not even begin to describe it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctcruiser1721 Posted December 5, 2012 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Don't do it. Way to little space. If you'd like to share ship & sale date or most important details, I'd be happy to make suggestions as I'm sure other CCers would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkwolfe Posted December 5, 2012 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'd say time to think about grabbing an inside across the hall. Might be a reasonable solution to the problem. Five folks, you are going to WANT that extra bathroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCruisinNana Posted December 5, 2012 #9 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Oasis class has family inside, oceanview and balcony cabins. I've seen a family inside cabin on an Allure cabin crawl. It was actually very well designed and liveable. Any regular inside, oceanview, balcony or JS cannot be booked with more 4 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctcruiser1721 Posted December 5, 2012 #10 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I have stayed with 7 in a Family Suite. No problem. My concern is that you are saying the room you are contemplating is 179 sq feet. Another type of suite may be fine but if $$ is a concern, I'm sure there are other affordable options.

jpolm Posted December 5, 2012 Author #11 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Ok it's on deck 3 and its not called family oceanview it's called ov room. And she said it fits five? I didn't think this existed either. The family oceanview yes is 271 sq ft. And fits up to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted December 5, 2012 #13 Share Posted December 5, 2012 On Oasis and Allure, there are whole bunch of OV cabins on Deck 3 that will sleep five. :eek: :eek: :eek: Stateroom with sofa bed and third Pullman bed available. That means two in the regular beds that are in every cabin, two in the sofabed, and one in the pullman. :eek: :eek: :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy toes Posted December 5, 2012 #14 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I think your TA is mistaken...someone else will know for certain. There are some CCs that have a real wealth of knowledge about this stuff. If funds are an issue, consider side by side IS cabins, gives adults a room and kids on right next door, you can leave the interior access door open if you want to. MOST importantly you will have 2 bathrooms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hstergo Posted December 5, 2012 #15 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Do 5 people really want to share 1 bathroom ? that's my question for the OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgraff Posted December 5, 2012 #16 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Five in one room , no way. get side by side cabins, or outside to in, that way you will have extra space and a extra BATHROOM. PG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARCruisinNana Posted December 5, 2012 #17 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The OV cabins on Deck 3 on Allure shows twin beds, sofa bed and pullman. However, the sofa bed is love seat size and only sleeps one person. That's why there is a pullman to allow 4 people in those cabins. Check out the family cabins on deck 11. They sleep up to six. The family interior has 2 twin beds (or queen), sofa bed and bunk beds. It is 260 sq. ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG If I could I would the price is almost $1500 more than a family oceanview room. And 1800 more than the 171sq ft ov. Unfortunately we are going on an almost booked ship :(.

cruisefanaticx6 Posted December 5, 2012 #22 Share Posted December 5, 2012 What are the ages of the people going? If your talking small children you should be ok as long as you are ok with it being a little cramped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisnseas Posted December 5, 2012 #23 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Rooms that sleep four can often add a crib making it a total of 5. That crib takes up nearly all the floor space, however, and I DO NOT recommend this. It is a very tight fit even with four unless three of you are small children. As for the rooms on Oasis and Allure that sleep 5 without a crib they are still incredibly crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking this is something you will have to experience once yourself and then decide if you will ever do that again!!! ;) Will it be cheaper-yes. Will it be comfortable-that will be up to you!!!
