[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, what do most people with kids (ex a family of 4) do about rooms? Do they get adjoining rooms or does everyone sleep in the family cabins?  If you roomed together, do the cabins feel cramped? [/quote]

We got a balcony room for three and it was a nice size.  There was a queen bed, pull down and a couch that converts into a bed.  But, I'm cheap I'd never do two rooms and we often put as many people as we can (i.e. grandparents) in one room as we all are fine with it.  Some rooms can have 5.  You aren't in your room much.  We had two bathrooms - one with a sink and shower and one with a sink and toilet.  It really expensive (we went only because of a discount).[/quote]

Thanks pp! We went on a couple of cruises pre-kids and enjoyed them.  We always figured we'd get 2 adjoining rooms when we had kids but wow DCL prices are no joke!

As far as not spending much time in the room, these days we really appreciate the occasional peace and quiet. Is it possible to find that on the ship or is it party all day? Wondering if this isn't the right vacation for us at this stage....[/quote]

We found plenty of quiet areas.  If you stay away from the pools and eat in the sit down restaurants for breakfast and lunch, its fine (most eat the buffet).  Our room was very comfortable.  I loved the balcony but it wasn't an expensive upgrade for us or I wouldn't have done it.  There is no need for two rooms.  The balcony room we had, had a curtain between the bed and couch/bunk area for some privacy.  Or, you sit on the balcony when the weather was nice.  Room service was great.  Its not a party all day.  We walked through a few bars and saw only a few people in each.  We didn't go to any of the bigger parties so I can't speak to those as we are not into crowds and we could see the fireworks from our stateroom. I rarely saw anyone drunk and most didn't even see that many drinking at meals either.   If its your first cruise with kids and kids are under 8, it is worth it to do once (assuming they like Disney).  If they are older, I'd find something more teen friendly.  We went at an off time so it was mainly elementary school and younger.  Our kids have no interest in Disney characters so for us, another cruise line would have accomplished the same thing for us.  We did really like Castaway Cay and would go for that.[/quote]
