Royal Caribbean has many various sorts of staterooms you may select from, and I feel households would love one sort of cabin designed for area however would not value loads both.
Freedom of the Seas is one ship that has extremely spacious ocean view cabins. They’re huge, and I like how effectively they work for households with younger youngsters.
Cruise ship cabins are infamous for a way small they are often, particularly in comparison with land lodges. Many new cruisers are shocked to see how tight a match they’re for most traditional cabins.
Before you spend additional for a set with a purpose to get extra room, maybe an extremely spacious ocean cabin could be a greater thought.
Lots of area for as much as 6 folks
Before you even see one picture of this room, the very fact it might sleep as much as 6 passengers is kind of notable.
Most Royal Caribbean ship cabins max out at 4, and to get previous that, you are primarily going to must e-book a set.
Ultra spacious ocean view staterooms (class 1K) have 293 sq. toes of area. While they don’t have a balcony, they do make up for it with considerably extra space. As an instance, an oceanview cabin has simply 159 sq. toes of area of lounge.
You’ll discover extremely spacious ocean view rooms on Freedom Class ships.
Another key distinction with this kind of room is that they have bunk beds.
There’s an alcove near the door with a set of bunk beds, good for teenagers. Not solely is it a superb use of the world, however youngsters love the thought of getting bunk beds.
I like that there is a curtain and wall to really present privateness for the youngsters (and everybody else outdoors of it). When my youngsters have been younger, they’d hassle falling/staying asleep when there was gentle within the room, so this ensures optimum sleeping circumstances.
Speaking of issues youngsters love, there are two porthole home windows that present views, pure gentle, and someplace to take a seat.
Kids typically curl up within the porthole to benefit from the view.
The rooms on the entrance are even higher
There are a pair of extremely spacious rooms on the entrance of the ship (they finish in -200 and -500) which might be much more intriguing.
Instead of a curtain separating the bunk beds, there’s an precise door. Plus, the king measurement mattress is in its personal room with a curtain.
This enormously modifications the texture of the room to be extra like a set than an oceanview cabin.
In addition, cabin -500 has extra home windows, whereas -200 has extra lounge area.
Affordable value for an enormous cabin
The smartest thing about this kind of room is the worth it has.
You’ll pay loads much less for this room than an equally giant suite, and that is an amazing financial savings.
As an instance, I discovered a crusing on October 3, 2026 as an instance the pricing. This instance qualifies for Kids Sail Free deal on the time this text was written.
Sailing on a 5-night Freedom of the Seas cruise with 2 adults and a pair of youngsters, the worth of cabin 9500 is $2,551.88 together with taxes and costs.
To get a set that has as a lot area because the extremely spacious cabins, we might e-book a Junior Suite. The value is $3,698.88 for all 4 folks.
That has 299 sq. toes, however has no bunk beds or separation from the youngsters in an alcove or bed room.
In order to get a cabin with separation, you’d have to maneuver as much as a 2 Bedroom Grand Suite, which is priced at $5,770.88.
In each examples, it is over $1,000 cheaper to go together with the extremely spacious room as an alternative.
Finding hidden cabins like this generally is a recreation changer
I like discovering secret cabins like this as a result of it gives a mix of worth and facilities.
The overwhelming majority of staterooms have just about the identical format and look to them, so if you could find ones which might be distinctive and provide a greater match in your group, that is a win.
Regardless of the kind of cabin, while you get to remain in a bigger room that has far more residing area, it feels wonderful. I modify up the kind of room I’m in relying on my wants and budgets, however I at all times really feel extra relaxed in a spacious room.
With a bunk mattress and totally different residing areas, I feel the extremely spacious cabin is the proper cruise ship room for households with youngsters.
We all love our youngsters, however sharing the identical area as them (particularly through the night time) shouldn’t be precisely preferrred.
I like there’s an actual mattress for the youngsters (as an alternative of a settee mattress), and the youngsters just like the bunk mattress ingredient that provides a “sleepaway camp” expertise for them.
