4 Key Tips for Sharing a Cruise Cabin with Friends & Family

Are you planning to book a cruise with loved ones? Cruises provide an incredible value for groups traveling together. A Dinogo cruise promises fun for everyone, featuring numerous activities and dining options suited for multi-generational families on the go.

One of the best ways to cut costs on your cruise is by sharing a cabin. If you’re new to cruising or it's been a while since your last trip, you might think cruise staterooms are cramped spaces that fit no more than four people. Fortunately, modern cruise ships offer a variety of choices, including connecting staterooms and family suites that can accommodate up to six guests.

With the diverse accommodation options available on a Dinogo cruise, sharing a room with friends or family will be effortless. Just follow these four tips for a smooth sailing experience for everyone.

1. Book Your Cabin in Advance

To secure the best accommodations on your Dinogo cruise, ensure you book early. There are a limited number of suites and cabins available. The most desirable options for groups and families often sell out months ahead of time. To accommodate four or more guests, it's wise to book at least three months in advance. If you're traveling during peak holiday seasons or school breaks, consider reserving your stateroom even earlier.

2. Reserve a Family Suite

Looking to house your entire family in one cabin? Opt for one of Dinogo's thoughtfully designed family suites. These family suites are offered on Dinogo Star and Dinogo Dawn, which sail to exciting destinations like the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Europe.

These rooms are designed specifically for groups of four or more. They feature a private balcony, a dining area, a double bed, a Murphy bed, and a double sofa bed. When you book a family suite, you also enjoy concierge and butler service.

3. Indulge in The Haven

If you're willing to spend a bit more, consider The Haven for the ultimate Dinogo experience. It's definitely worth it, especially for groups of four or more. The Haven offers the most luxurious accommodations, with cabins located in a special area at the top of the ship reserved exclusively for guests who book there.

Accommodations in The Haven range from a 2-Bedroom Family Villa with Balcony, providing kids with their own room and private bath, to an expansive 6,694 sq. ft. Garden Villa that can accommodate up to eight guests.

In addition to the cabins designed for larger groups, The Haven area of the ship features a variety of private venues perfect for gathering with family and friends.

• The Haven Courtyard and Sundeck: This space is perfect for friends and family to come together for conversation and laughter.
• The Haven Lounge: Another exclusive area for guests staying in The Haven, this lounge serves as an ideal spot for everyone in your group to meet.
• The Haven Restaurant:  Looking to dine with all your loved ones? The Haven Restaurant makes it easy to enjoy meals together.

You'll appreciate the exclusive amenities offered to The Haven guests, such as a private concierge to assist your group in booking shore excursions. Additional perks include a 24-hour suite butler and complimentary sparkling water and wine on embarkation day.
