We also have 3 kids, including twins, but ours were a bit older than yours when we first sailed. I say wait another year until they are older. My other bit of advice is sail in Jan or Feb, it's much cheaper. Our upcoming August cruise is more than twice as expensive as our previous cruises in Jan and Feb. Also, do not hesitate to pull your kids out of school now while they're young. It may seem like a bad idea and something you'd never consider, but guess why we had to cruise in August this time (and pay twice as much as we used to). Yep, can't miss school now that they're older. You also have an advantage in that you have twins and your kids are so close in age that they can all enjoy the kids club together. This can be very advantageous as they get older (even though i bet they don't always get along, just having their sister may a comfort factor); they may be more.comfortable starting out in one club together and maybe branch out to the other that may be more interesting. Like someone above said, on our first cruise, we didn't just put them in the clubs any old time, we picked specific activities they wanted to do then picked them back up. Last, if it won't work out to bring your husband, it's a great idea to bring your mom. But, an even better idea is bringing your mom AND your husband and book two rooms. However, you'll only get the placeholder discount on the one unfortunately. And as everyone above said, it's okay if you end up not going and getting your money back. But I think I would start wirh looking at off-season cheaper rates. Good luck!
