OH and I, along with another couple , close friends, are looking at going on a cruise next September, 2021. It will be their first cruise, we have been on quite a few. Looking at East Med, possibly P&O.


My question is whether is will work out cheaper/ easier to have a suite for 4 people with two bedrooms, if thats is possible or have two balcony rooms? Has anyone done it and which would they recommend doing?


Thanks

    Have 2 separate rooms, just in case anything happens, ie someone gets ill.

    Just ask a cruise specialist travel agent to price a couple of cruises for you, then you will know for sure.

    Will 2 bed suites have 2 x toilets/ bathrooms?
    Otherwise that might be the crowded area!!
    Owners suites probably have more facilities... and larger costs!
    Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
