Herbaltees Posted May 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Booked my family of 5 (DH, DS9, DD3 and DD2) on an 8 day Magic sailing, with the $50 deposit. We are all crammed into the 6L deluxe OV with the bathtub to bathe the little ladies. But now there is another $50 dep sale and we could switch to an OV and PT for $500 more. Should we switch? My initial thought was we already have two bathrooms and $500 is a lot of money. but now, after a particularly rough evening with them, I'm wondering if having two TV's more space and a door separating us from the kids would be worth the extra money?? My other thought is that being at the bottom level of the price chart, if any of the other categories go dwn, ours would too. What do you think?

disneylover89 Posted May 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2018 No, I would not do 2 rooms. The kids are too young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesmiths Posted May 24, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 24, 2018 100% yes.... Divide that $500.00 per day for peace and quiet...:-) Well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Jen Posted May 24, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Heck yes! I would get a post time job to cover the 500 bucks if need be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisinqt Posted May 24, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 24, 2018 With connecting rooms so you could keep the door open and keep an eye on them, I’d jump on it. Having so much more room is a really big deal. My girls were 3 and 5 when they started cruising so I know how it is. And if it’s early on then you could catch some price drops too. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbaltees Posted May 25, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Thanks everyone I saw a your tube video of the 5person room and decided it was worth it. Plus only one of my kids could do the bunk. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sillyjilly Posted May 25, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I'd jump on this in a heartbeat if it were me. Ditto! Well worth the 500 bucks and it will make your vacation much more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txmom11 Posted May 25, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 25, 2018 In a heartbeat! It would be so worth it to be able to have the space and ability for the littles to sleep/nap without the rest of you bothering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drazil65 Posted May 25, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I would switch as long as the cabins connect and you can leave the door open between them. You may have 2 bathrooms in your current cabin, but not 2 toilets. With kids that little, the fact that they usually wait until the last minute to have to use the bathroom, I would rather have 2 toilets available (unless you have 2 still in diapers and if you do then I guess less of an issue). You would also have way more room with 2 cabins and a place to put the kids to bed in another room for some mommy/daddy time ;p. Seems like a no brainier and the money worth it!

serene56 Posted May 25, 2018 #17 Share Posted May 25, 2018 you want to be careful with picking those deck 2 cabins-- these are under the show lounge which will be very loud at night. These cabins are very far forward and its a long walk to the food and pools are you taking strollers? A double will not work in the halls when the cabin stewart has his cart out there- which is most of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted May 25, 2018 #18 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I would do it in a minute! Connecting rooms mean you have immediate access...probably closer than your bedrooms at home. I would have no issues with the kids in a space of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
