Or over reacting? Hard to know these days!

This is a an extended family going on holiday together situation ( planned for next year when, fingers crossed, we’ll all be able to get out with some semblance of normality)
I was all for it, as was everyone else, place looked lovely. Beautiful house with wonderful amenities in a picturesque setting.
So proposed room set up was that I share with with my sister in law’s DDs, both teenagers. The girls themselves are nice enough when not together but, as all sisters do, they tend to fight when in the same room.
Don’t get me wrong I understand that sibling bickering is a natural occurrence in all families. I don’t mind it but I don’t want to share a room with it when on holiday.
I said that to the person who is doing the organising and their reply was ‘well just go out if they start’
I feel that especially as l’ll have paid out a fair bit of money for the privilege of having a room, I shouldn’t then have to leave it because of arguing youngsters.
Is this a reasonable or unreasonable point of view?

@Nunoftheother

I organised a trip with sister/brother-in-law and parents. My sister (who is not generally a CF) suggested we pay per bedroom until I pointed out that would mean that, having done all the donkey work and paid the deposit, I'd be paying twice as much per head as everyone else.
She probably wasn’t being a CF. Just didn’t think.

12 adults but I take it 5 couples and their various dc and you and granddad - in that case a room per couple and you and grandad have a room each and the dc sleep in with their parents. Otherwise you need a bigger house.

This sounds like the worst holiday ever!

Jesus Christ no. Just no.
Ps: teenagers requiring own rooms and no doubt eating like horses should be paid for by their own parents.
