Need help choosing a cabin. 2 adults 2 kids age 7 and 5

going to be 4th cruise for them 2 on Oasis ships in boardwalk balcony, one on MSC Seaside in Fantasitca balcony. Prefer to have a pullman/ bunk bed set up.

 

Booking NCL Bliss for next winter. ( i know it its still being build)

I have a choice of

Family balcony cabin deck 9 for $2900

Mid ship Mini Suite deck 10 $3050

Aft-facing Mini-Suite with Balcony (M8) deck 11 $3200

Spa Mini-Suite with Balcony (M9) deck 15 $3700

 

Whats the best value? Any recommendations?

Mid ship Mini Suite deck 10 $3050 - would prefer mini-suite over normal balcony - bigger bathroom with excellent shower

Aft-facing Mini-Suite with Balcony (M8) deck 11 $3200 - there are no aft-facing mini-suites - only full suites and aft-facing balcony that can hold only 2 or 3, not 4 people. There are 2 aft-facing mini-suites on deck 10 but they are handicapped and can hold only 2 ppl.

Spa Mini-Suite with Balcony (M9) deck 15 $3700 - if you enjoy going to spa (the 2 adults only), then go for it. The kids won't be able to go to spa.

The balcony and mini-suites have a couch bed and a Pullman bed (from ceiling) for the kids.

The spa mini-suite would give two adults access to the thermal spa, which is a plus. Make sure, however, that this cabin can accommodate four people.

 

Yes, but there are only 2 M9 cabins that can hold 4 ppl.

 

Be advised there is NO spa in the cabin, you get access to the spa with the cabin.

 

Only the full spa suites have spa in the cabin as well as spa access (H9 - there are only 6 and they can hold only 3 ppl).

As noted above in red, the aft-facing mini-suite is a HC stateroom for 2.

 

Looking at the prices, getting a mini-suite then buying spa passes would be less expensive but a longer walk to the spa.

Yes, it looks like it would be cheaper to purchase spa passes.
