Default Can you use vip check-in if one non-vip room?
I have one vip room and one non-vip for my kids. Can you still use vip for both? I thought I read somewhere you could do this. I certainly am not going to check-in on two different lines. Anyone have any experience with this. TIA

I don't think they will separate you from your kids

Depending on how old your children are will depend on whether or not it will be VIP. If they are minors, Carnival would not separate you. If they are adults, chances are they will have to go through the lines like the rest of us.

Default VIP Check-IN
The major question is this: Are YOU paying for your children's Sail and Sign Account? If you are, then they MUST check in with you. If they are adults and using their own credit cards for the Sail and Sign account - NO.

Are the reservations linked? I just know as a member of the Carnival Vacation Club I'm allowed VIP check-in and when I called I said I was traveling with my sister and they said she could check-in with us. I was so glad because she has bad knees AND fell getting off her plane. BUT when we went to the VIP lounge they would not let her check-in with us because the girl at CVC didn't cross-reference our booking numbers.

She did walk my sister to the front of the line and she was able to get the first available check-in person and boarded with us.

Is a suite a "VIP" room? Is that what the OP is talking about?

VIP check in goes to Platinum members, cruisers that booked a Cat 11 or Cat 12 or (until it expires) the Carnival Vacation Club members (which is no longer being sold).
