I guess that's good, but where would the extra bed(s) fit in those already too small cabins? Or are we only talking suites? I guess I am not understanding.

They would have sofa beds or possibly the bunks that drop down from the ceiling or wall. Not the best arrangement, but for families with children it would work out better than for 3 or 4 adults sharing the space.

Thanks, Char. Unfortunately all my children ARE adults, and BIG ones.

That was the real you (20 years ago)
You haven't changed much....you are still recognizable.

I'm not sure I would want to do 4 adults in a cabin either - if you weren't really good friends when you went in, you'd be really good enemies when you came out! lol

But if you have small children or don't mind sharing a cabin, these are really good rates.

As Char said, depending on the cabin, the 3rd and 4th would either share a fold-out couch or there would be bunk beds that come down out of the ceiling.
