[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Novice cruise question - What are sleeping arrangements with kids this age in parents? Are you in the same room? It sounds fun, but I can't get my head around how this works. Also if comfortable sharing, what's the price point for these cruises? My 4 year old is obsessed with cruise ships, so he'd lose his mind with this type of trip. [/quote]

We are going during spring break which is more expensive than other weeks. All in I think we are at $7k with airfare. I'll be celebrating a birthday while on the ship so this was a nice way to get some family and alone time while having the kids out of school.[/quote]

The price varies a ton by the itinerary/length, room type, and time of year. We just got back from a 3 day cruise and paid ~$2200 for 3 people. Last summer we did a 7 day for ~$7200 (but we got 10% off, see below comment re. on-board booking). Both of these we had balcony rooms, which are quite a bit more than rooms without a balcony.

Like PP said, the room is kind of split with a big, heavy, light-proof curtain. There's a double bed on one side and a couch that they make into a bed on the other. Some rooms have a bunk bed that pulls out of the ceiling - ours did and DS (age 6) enjoyed sleeping up there.

Oh - one more pro-tip - if you think you'll ever want to go on another Disney cruise, book a placeholder while you're on board - they have a special desk to do it or you can just go to guest services. You pay $250 - you don't need a date/cruise in mind, you're just booking a placeholder. When you figure out your next cruise plans and go to actually book the cruise, you get 10% off and an onboard credit of either $100 or $250 based on the length of the cruise you book. It's also a lower deposit. The placeholder is good for 2 years and if you don't use it, the money is automatically refunded. [/quote]
