We've had bunks at both AKL and WL in years past. When we travel it's all but a necessity now to have 3 separate beds because the boys are both so big. Chandler is full man-size and Brian isn't far from it. For our sanity and out of respect for our fellow guests we need the 3rd bed to avoid the inevitable squabbles. It's not a matter of if they fight, it's when. In the past if we were in a resort that didn't have the daybed the bunks have been a good alternative. Not so sure about now, however. Chandler may be too tall to fit comfortably anymore.
I'd consider how your girls do when they sleep together. If it doesn't work out well then go for the bunks so they can sleep apart. Our boys have always struggled sleeping in the same bed even when they were little guys because they sleep so differently. Brian is a very active sleeper who moves around a lot. He used to fling himself about including out of the bed when he was a squirt. He's also a sleepy cuddler who will get up next to the person in the bed without knowing he did it. Chandler needs things as close to what he's used to at home in order to sleep restfully. He needs stillness and space to roll over. There's never a guarantee of that when sleeping with Brian. Honest, Chandler is so weird about the still and no-touch thing I worry he'll refuse to sleep with a future wife and I'll never get the redheaded grandchildren I'm so looking forward to. LOLOLOL!
