Family & shared cabins

Family cabins

There are a number of cabin options for families, depending on your budget and the age of your children.  The best value arrangements for families with children are cabins with 3 and 4 beds and you can find them marked with a black dot on the deck plans. There are also cots available if required. Alternatively you can choose a suite which has a sofa that folds down into a bed.  For Mediterranean cruises, children must be aged 13 or under at the time of sailing to qualify for children’s prices.  In the Caribbean they must be aged 11 or under.  Above those ages, the adult 3rd and 4th berth prices will apply, which still represents a significant saving (please see below). Alternatively, especially if your children are older, you may wish to simply book two cabins either next door to or opposite one another. 

All cabins are air-conditioned and feature: Two lower beds (convertible to queen size unless otherwise stated) • En suite shower room with WC • Hair/body wash and towels are provided • Wardrobe and drawer space • Dressing table/writing desk • Easy chair and stool • Television (with radio) • Direct dial telephone • Safe • Fridge • Hairdryer • Tea and coffee making kit

Share and Save

A number of cabins on board feature extra beds, and if three or four adults book together and share one of these cabins then our third/fourth adult saving applies.  In twin cabins on Ocean Village these extra beds are upper beds that are pulled down from the wall or ceiling and and in Suites they are a sofa bed.  If the pull-down beds are used then the lower beds can only be configured as twins in most cabins (excluding AA/AB grades). The first two passengers pay the full adult fare and the third/fourth passengers pay the full adult price minus the third/fourth person discount.  The maximum third/fourth person discount are as follows:

                                                                               Maximum Discount
                                                                       (per adult using 3rd/4th bed)
                                                 7 nights                        Up to £200
Winter 2009/10                    14 nights                       Up to £400

Transatlantic Holidays   15 & 22 nights                  Up to £500

Summer 2010                      12 nights                       Up to £400

Book these beds early, as only a limited number of these extra beds will be available for sale on each cruise.
