ihrtcruise Posted September 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2017 We would need a 2 bedroom suite for our family of 6. Booking two separate rooms would not work for us. I'm more familiar with NCL and know they have 2 bedroom suites, but so far I haven't been able to find one on an RCL cruise. Am I searching for something that isn't even an option? Thanks!

southnam Posted September 13, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Royal also has a category called family staterooms which fit 6 but are much cheaper than suites. Depending on the one you choose, some have 2 rooms with a sofa bed in living room Sent from my STH100-1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherwoman Posted September 13, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2017 We booked into the Harmony of the Seas two bedroom Aqua suite for our family vacation. It's pricey but when you consider everything it includes it's going to make a fabulous family holiday! Sleeps 8, we only have 5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetdriver787 Posted September 13, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Yes. Depending on the ship: The Royal Loft has 2 bedrooms; The royal family suites have two bedrooms; Specific Aqua theatre suites have two bedrooms; Presidential or "Villa" suites have four bedrooms.

NatsFanOnBoard Posted September 13, 2017 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2017 You have to call; the family suites can't always be booked online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted September 13, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2017 One some ships (Grandeur) there are 2 bedroom Owners and Grand Suites. At least there is a booking code for them. We had an after Royal Family Suite a few years ago. It did come up online, and we switched from two cabins (balcony and Jr Suite). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debates2 Posted September 13, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 13, 2017 :*Yes. The Royal Family Suite provides two bedrooms and typically accommodate up to 8 guests. We would need a 2 bedroom suite for our family of 6. Booking two separate rooms would not work for us.

NatsFanOnBoard Posted September 14, 2017 #18 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The family staterooms and the family suites are two different categories of cabins. The staterooms are in regular inside/oceanview/balcony classes but accommodate up to six people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yuvraj Posted September 14, 2017 #20 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Others have answered your question so just want to share my experience ... Royal Family Suite and Aquatheatre suites have 2 bedrooms plus large sofa bed. We have booked both and they comfortably accommodate 6 IMO. Prices fluctuate and vary considerable. Sometimes the discount for 3rd person plus is more generous than other times so do some research and monitor prices for a while. It is true that quite often RFS is not advertised so best to ring up and enquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeySailor Posted September 14, 2017 #21 Share Posted September 14, 2017 OP John has posted pictures from the RS Royal Suite (only 1 bedroom) some people think the RFS (2 bedroom) is the same as the RS, they are chalk and cheese. Completely different cabin categories RS can only hold 4 people with the sofa in the sitting area being converted to a second bed. (5 with a rollaway) They differ in price considerably as well, the RS being way more expensive. Speaking from experience of staying in a few of these 2 Bed AquaTheater Suite would be your best option on an Oasis class ship Decks 8 or 9 There are no RS on Oasis class anymore, all got converted to other categories of cabins.

southnam Posted September 14, 2017 #22 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Family staterooms: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/cabinclass/cabinTypes/cabinType/home.do?cabincls=I&cabinType=FI http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/cabinclass/cabinTypes/cabinType/home.do?cabincls=O&cabinType=FF http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/cabinclass/cabinTypes/cabinType/home.do?cabincls=B&cabinType=FB We have booked the family oceanview stateroom twice and will be in it again for a third time in Feb. At 300-350 sq ft it is a no brainer for our family of 3 with 3 younger kids. So much cheaper than a suite. Keep in mind only some of the family staterooms have actual doors separating the rooms. Some it is just curtain. For example 8200 versus 8500 on Freedom of the Seas Sent from my STH100-1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
