Hello ! We are a family of 4, my youngest kid wont sleep in separate cabin. Can we incorporate 2 adults and 2 children: 16 years & 11 years in single cabin we can manage with extra bed in the cabin. What could be the pricing then.
1 answerAAnswered by Phoebe · 9 months ago
Dear Mr Dev, For your information, I wish to advise you that one room on Stellar of The Sea is fitable for 2 adults and one child below 11. Under the circumstances, may you consider taking the 2 cabins connected with each other. You will still have your own privacy and can still watch out for your children at the same time.
