zqvol Posted June 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 5, 2018 You are going to be packed in like sardines. The cabins are not that big, and while they sleep four, you need to plan on having the kids out of the room while you dress, and vice versa.

mjkacmom Posted June 5, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 5, 2018 It’s tight but do able. We did 7 in 2 connecting balconies, kids ranged from 14 - 20. We staggered showering/getting ready (DH and I were first, we just hung on the balcony after getting ready for dinner) and we’d be asleep by the time they all got back to the cabin at night. We weren’t in the cabins a lot during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniacal Cruiser Posted June 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 5, 2018 You will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycfa Posted June 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 5, 2018 We did a 10 day w two teens last year in a balcony on the Gem. It’s doable. Just be organized and you will be fine Plenty of storage space (everyone had a cubby). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycfa Posted June 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2018 My review from last year. Lots of photos of the room. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2487641 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinIllinois Posted June 5, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Obviously you will get different opinions on this. My two cents worth: Doable, but not enjoyable. Hope your family has a great, fun cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lduane1815 Posted June 6, 2018 Author #8 Share Posted June 6, 2018 thanks!! I think we will be fine - we've done it on a couple of Carnival Cruises so I think we will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lduane1815 Posted June 6, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted June 6, 2018 love reading the Gem's review - I wrote down a lot of tips and definitely going to try O'Sheehan's. we are in a family Balcony on the 9th floor so I hope it's just a little bit roomier. But otherwise it looks manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted June 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted June 6, 2018 thanks!! I think we will be fine - we've done it on a couple of Carnival Cruises so I think we will be good. You'll be fine, albeit a bit tight. Cabins are smaller than Carnival's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacy&family Posted June 6, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 6, 2018 If you can swing 2 - do it. I am pretty easy but I, enjoy 2 connecting cabins so much more. It is way too tight. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
