Spirit Aft 4232 - Double Occupancy?

[ejeffo]

So we (Myself, GF, and 11 YO son) are cruising on the Spirit to Alaska next summer. I had already booked cabin 4231, but then I saw the the aft cabin 4232 became available, which is also right next door to friends of ours who are on the same sailing. My TA tells me that this cabin is double occupancy only? Is this really true? The web site says... "2 Twin Beds (convert to King) and Single Convertible Sofa"

 

Weird... is there a reason these cabins are double occupancy when they are set up just like the rest of the balcony cabins? I thought the only difference was that the balcony was bigger.

Id have the TA contact Carnival to see if its a triple. I have seen some deck plans that apparantly are off in the aft area, especially spirit class.

 

Have her ask, not assume.

It is called "capacity control"

There are many cabins that accommodate more than 2, and will be used as such if there are not too many other quads and triples that sailing.

What you need to find out is if there is a full capacity of multi-people cabins being used at that time, and this is something your TA can find out.

If the capacity is not overreached, they will indeed let you put 3 in that cabin.

I just asked my TA to confirm. Even the web site lets me book it as triple occupancy, so I get the feeling that capacity has not been reached.

BAM! Got it! Carnival saw it my way and convinced the TA to get me the aft cabin! Hooray! This will be my first aft (really... fantail) cabin.
