Balcony3
Here’s what an average balcony cabin looks like. That couch folds down to make a double bed, that’s supposed to be sleeping space for two kids. Clearly, if you have two large kids, you’ll want bunk beds instead.

The only 7-day cruise from Venice during your spring break is the Costa Deliziosa, and it is sold out of cabins for 5.

No double and triple cabins near each other either! And the total for two cabins (not near each other) is $5200 and up!

This is the dining room at the Yacht Club on the MSC ships.

I KNOW what you’re thinking…your little devil would destroy this setting in a heartbeat…isn’t there something less ostentation that kids can relax in?

Yes yes yes. Don’t worry. There are many great eating venues without fancy tablecloths.
