Family of 5 Cruising in one room - Any suggestions?

[robsib]

1st TIME POST!

 

I am looking to book a Carribean Cruise for Summer 2009 for my family of 5 (kids aged 4,6,and 8). I have found that many ships do not have accommodations for 5. Can anyone with first-hand experience please provide a suggestion? Looking forward to your recommendations!

 

Many thanks in advance.

Carnival's new ship, Carnival Dream, has accomodations for 5 in a stateroom. Disney does as well - for a premium price. You might also check into Norwegian - they're so inexpensive (compared to RCCL, for example) that booking two connecting rooms might be an option.
