Not us, that's for sure! I have a friend with 5 kids; she did it last year for a family event & said it was an awful decision.....Kids has a rough time when pulling them out when school first starts.

Where is that? Whoever they are - they are lucky!! I've always been in school in August. So is DD. (Well, except when I went to Ohio State - we started at the END of September!!!)

For us, pricing is higher than what we are used to on DCL as well - We currently have 2 cruises scheduled on the Fantasy in balcony rooms (cat 5E) & each sailing is about $600 less give or take than this RCI sailing total for the 3 of us comparing a balcony cabin also, not to mention the higher OBC (over $400) we receive for each sailing (covering tips, Palo, & more....) as well.

For all of you that can go, have a great time!!! We'll still be in PCC 4.0, then again on the Fantasy on Spring Break in March, then again in Oct., then hopefully Spring Break 2014, then summer break Aug 2014......

You all enjoy - I know you will

Lucky!!!!

Never got that lucky in Ohio & neither is DD in Florida. Always thought it was kinda dumb to to school for a few days then be off for Labor Day. Would be easier to just go back Tues or Wed after like y'all!!!

Do I have to pay for a 1 year old? Do I need a cabin for 3 or more or can we fit in a cabin for 2? Am I crazy for even thinking about bringing a 1 year old?!

(She'll be almost 14 months actually.)

Better to bring her than leave her at the pier. (podcast from 5/9 - news)

Haha, no. She would be left at home with grandma!

I did a quick search and found this:

http://www.royalcaribbean.com/custom...21&faqType=faq

So it looks like you would need to pay for her. I think you would be ok with one state room, but don't hold me to that. I don't have kids.

Im in

Can't wait.
I hope the team comes up with some awsome activities for us.

You do have to pay the third person rate for a 1 year old. You are able to book one of the doubles as we can add a crib to one of those. The rate would still be for 3 however.

DSNYDREAMER · 07-19-2012, 03:37 PM

An update....

Due to group restrictions, we are going to need everyone sailing added at the time of booking. If you are booking for one person now and know there will be a second person, the reservation has to be booked for 2. If you don't have a name for the second cruiser yet, we can deal with that. If you are a family of 3 or 4, you will have to book for everyone to hold space.

Triple and Quad space is limited, it is not like DCL where all cabins at least sleep 3. There are many categories on the Oasis that only sleep 2.

We can always remove names later if someone can't go, but we may not be able to add names in the future!

Thank you! I think we'd probably leave her with her grandparents. I don't think a cruise is worth it with a baby.

I booked my cruise and I can't wait for this trip

I don't post often as you can see by my numbers, but I can't wait to meet and travel with a bunch of DISers. This will be my first solo trip ever, but I am really excited about this cruise and how alone can I be with a few Hundred DISers along
