8522 is a cat 3 stateroom, correct?...
so you have 2 connecting staterooms, one cat 3 and one cat 4....
i assume you mean to have the teens in the cat 4 and you in the cat 3....
i've never seen the configuration of those cat 3 staterooms, so i can't tell you what they're like...
i would assume that by virtue of the fact that you'll have two staterooms, regardless of the category, you'll have plenty of space (with only two people in each stateroom)....
if you're not married to the idea of connecting staterooms you might consider staterooms 8034 or 8534 as the cat 3 to ask for...(the cat 4 staterooms nextdoor are 8036 and 8536 respectively)...
they are NOT connecting...however, 8034 and 8534 have very nice configurations that might make up for the loss of the connecting convenience.......
on the other hand, it's more than likely that 8034 and 8534 are already booked...they, together with 8032 and 8532, are the first cat 3 staterooms to be reserved...
i just went to the
DCL site and looked at the deck plans...
it looks to me like you'll have lots of room with those two staterooms....and with young teens i think you definitely want the convenience of connecting rooms...
so all things considered, i think you made a very good choice....
