Definitely get 2 rooms. Back in 1991 4 of us were in a room and it was very cramped quarters. Age range 26-32. We weren't in the room much except to sleep. I think by age 50 the size of the room with 4 people will be more noticeable. No matter how well you get along. I also agree with what someone else said about getting a travel agent. He/she will be able to find you the best deal. Especially if all they do is cruises. Have fun!! Happy birthday.

That sounds like a blast. A great way to celebrate tuning 50! I believe Carnival is the best for your budget.
The have nice rooms you can go online and look around or look at other cruisers picture they post of interior or Ocean view rooms.
Can't wait to view your post on ypur cruise and all the great memories your going to make.

You should easily be able to find a 7 day Caribbean cruise in a balcony cabin for 1000 each, with money left over.
I would suggest, though, that you get two cabins -- 4 would be very crowded regardless of how friendly you and your friends are. The cabins are a bit tight.
RCCL and Carnival would have the best rates.

Great advice preceded me. Have a great cruise and Happy Birthday to all!
I can tell you that my upcoming cruise on Majesty I booked in a Junior Suite, for $602/person for a 5 day cruise for 3 people. with airfare, and drink package, im sitting at $1300/per person. Depending on the ship, itenerary, and whether or not you will require a drink package will dictate what is possible!

Sounds like you already have some great advice form the above posts. A cruise is a fun way to celebrate any birthday, but especially a milestone. Since we have mostly cruised Carnival and it is usually the most cost effective, I also recommend them. But do a little research on your own by using this site to narrow your possible choices. Go to the main page: https://cruiseline.com/ and type in the destination, dates, cruise lengths and if you have a preference departure port(s). ()We prefer departure ports that are easy to reach by Southwest Airlines and that are not too far from the airport. However, we often ignore our own advice. 
) You'll get a good idea of what's out there and what you can afford. I agree that two cabins would probably be better than trying to get all four of you into one. Good hunting. Let us know which cruise you decide to take. Happy 50th!
