I am planning my first Disney cruise for my 30th birthday in 2015 and am already planning (and saving) for a royal suite. Neither DH nor I make a ton, nor do we have a ton of extra money just sitting around. What I do have is a streak of miserable birthdays and I really need some extra magic and something to celebrate. Because we are planning to take the extended family (I'm hoping there will be about 12 of us) we like being able to combine some rooms and also have that central location available. I may come back and decide it wasn't worth it, but I'm pretty doubtful that will be the case!

Hopefully your B-day is during the off season to save money. With 12 people if you plan on staying together you will at least 2 cabin on the classic ships and 3 cabins on the new ships.
On the new ships to get 2 cabin to join the Royal the the Cat. T in between the Royals doesn't have an exclusive access. The way the 2 Royals and the Cat. T are setup they have common hallway so they can be connected without going into the main hallway.

Ok, I'm used to seeing some steep prices on the DCL page...but this one actually made my eyes bug out a bit.

7 night Eastern Carribbean Concierge Royal Suite with Verandah.

This is not in my reality. I bet those people never, ever leave their room!!!

Is that per person?!

This is one instance where I feel compelled to say that one should be certain to be fully funding retirement and kids' college funds, and giving charitably, before dropping 60% of the average household income on self-indulgence. Take care of your future, and your karma.

Well, I don't know about karma, but having 2 sons in college now, YUP, I could have done without concierage. I'd be happy to just have a regular cabin and be able to vacation without tuition over my head. We thought gifting our kids with the 1st 4 year of college loan free was better than a vacation. I'm sure they'll appreciate it later (when they can take their family on vacations).

I'm still doing the 2 day out of San Diego in 2014 with DD14 though
It was a wonderful mid Cat3 cabin (exhale, lovingly memories) Things we know now huh? lol Good luck ~~~ and Happy Birthday !
