The Superior Suite was the biggest room we had ever had on a cruise and I loved it! Plenty of closet space with three closets, double sinks in the bathroom and lots of seating both in the room and on the balcony. The interior stateroom (below) was pretty much a room with no windows and a bathroom with one sink and a shower. But it added so much space to put our stuff and for everyone to sleep very comfortably. Plus it gave us an extra TV at night when the kids wanted to watch different movies. They were thrilled to have their own spaces.
We will definitely stick with this two room thing. It worked out great. The kids actually spent more time in the room than me and my husband. They loved being able to spread out, have some quiet time to read or being able to watch what they wanted on TV. Plus we had two bathrooms with three showers total. That made getting ready at the same time SO much easier.
This cruise left from Fort Lauderdale, Florida and stopped in Grand Turk (Turks & Caicos), Charlotte Amalie (St. Thomas), Phillipsburg (St. Maarten) and Half Moon Cay (Bahamas). Stay tuned for posts on all those stops.
What’s your favorite accommodation on a cruise? As a family of four, we have stayed in a Verandah Stateroom, an Interior Stateroom (yes, all four of us together) and this room combo above. You can see why we liked this the best so far.
We have only ever had one cruise and that was round the Mediterranean a few years ago. Having just the one child, we splurged on a suite with balcony and it was fabulous. Now our son is older, I think he really needs his own room when we are away but then it gets costly.
We love connecting rooms in hotels because then we have privacy but can still be a family – I don't like the idea of him being alone half way down the corridor.
Looking forward to reading the posts. Oh, and love your new hair do!
So glad you like the hair! LOL Really had to be careful when I was wearing a dress. Those are pics no one would want to see! 😉
We've been on two cruises. The first was a short cruise and we traveled with my mother-in-law and we were all in an oceanview room. It was okay because we weren't in the room much. On our second cruise we booked two interior rooms because it was a longer cruise and we wanted the extra space. I'm glad we had it. They actually gave my husband and I a huge handicap accessible room which I loved. Compared to the kids' tiny room, I felt like royalty. 🙂 Our second cruise was to Alaska and if I had it to do over, we'd have definitely booked a balcony room. The view was so scenic compared to our Caribbean cruise.
Oh and the hair- Love it! What a fun picture!
I agree with the balcony on the Alaskan Cruise…so much to see. If you ever go on a Mediterranean Cruise get a balcony as well. That was when we had an interior room and I sat by any window I could find on the ship to get better views. I was hoping the hair shot would make people smile. It was so windy!
