Just a little background - we are on the Fantasy for a 7 night cruise in June. Many months ago, I booked AKV Jambo CL 1BR for 3 nights after the cruise. Only recently did I firm up our plans before the cruise. Was planning to fly in the day before, but was able to use frequent flyer points to get flights 2 days prior. I would have had to pay for Friday flight. Anyway, we get in late on Thursday (after 9PM.) I managed to book a studio, near the HH at OKW for Thursday and Friday. Having never stayed at OKW, we plan on just relaxing at the resort on Friday, then have dinner at Olivia's and get to bed early, so we can head to the port early on Saturday morning (using a Town Car service rather than relying on the later DCL bus.)
Here's my dilemma. I'm traveling with my 2 kids, DS 13 and DD 11. We have never stayed in a studio before. I really don't think we need to waste points on a 1BR, but there is one available at the moment (also near HH.) Given that we will only be in the room about 36 hours, I think we can rough it in the studio even if it means sharing a bed with DD (she is not keen on the idea.) I also think the smaller studio will be a good lesson on downsizing prior to the cruise, since our cabin will be way smaller than any hotel room we've ever stayed in. I honestly have enough points for the 1BR, but I really can't justify it. Given the situation, what would you do? Appreciate any advice!!! TIA.
