Another - would it be allowed questions

[RCcruisinfamily]

I am thinking about booking a GS and an interior across the hall for the kids. I am comfortable with that. However, I have read that sometimes the life boat stations are not the same. So I was thinking about putting one adult in each room, just in case. Would that bar the 2nd adult from going to the CL? It is obvious that I don't want to go with my kid who is so happy in AO. What should I do? Would they let us switch for Life boat if necessary?

 

Thanks in advance for not flaming me.

Not sure that you would be in separate lifeboats as they typically would keep similar ship / deck stateroom locations with the same muster station. Besides, as the odds of ever actually having to use a lifeboat are so remote, that shouldn't be a consideration to actually splitting the adults into separate rooms.

 

As to use of the Concierge Lounge, only those passengers actually booked and occupying the GS would have access.

Book the adults in the GS and the kids in the room directly across the hall. It would be highly unlikely that two rooms directly across the hall from each other would have different muster stations (we always book this way, and have always mustered with our kids).

And no, you cannot switch muster stations.

How old are the kids? RCI says that there must be at least one adult (21 or older) in the cabin.

Someone must be 21 in each cabin to book the cabin, my TA advised me that we could switch the assignments once we get on board as long as the rooms were side by side or directly across the hall. We did this in December without issue and are doing it again this December. Guest services took care of it for us right away when we boarded. PS Kids are 19&18 I do not know how young they will allow

You do NOT need a guest over 21 in a room if the kids' room is directly across the hall from or bordering the parent's room. Any other set up requires a guest over 21 booked into the room.

 

To answer the OP's original question: No, your husband would NOT be allowed to enjoy suite perks if he is booked into the inside cabin. Better keep the adults together in the suite, and the children booked together in the inside.

DITTO on "no" you need to book an adult in the cabin. I just put our three grand kids in one cabin with the parents next door.

Correct but if you book online it will not let you book the cabin unless someone is over 21 in the room. You might be able to call in and do it but rather than sit on hold I book online and a quick trip to guest services when we board and they swap the room assignment for us. I booked a connecting room with a door between and the booking system would not accept the second cabin without a 21 yr old in it.I do not know of another way around it.

You do have to call to book the children into their own cabin, but it is allowed as long as the cabin is directly across the hall from, or directly next door to, the adult cabin.

 

In my opinion, it is better to make the phone call now and have the reservation correct than to have to sort it out once onboard. On our last cruise, we had to book one adult in each cabin to take advantage of a discount. They would NOT let us switch people around once onboard (Jewel), and instead gave us extra keys to each room. So, the people who switched had to carry around two keys - one for the room that they were sleeping in, and their sea Pass for getting on and off the ship and for charging purchases. It got confusing and was a hassle.

The OP never mentioned if is was the husband or wife, but DH always gets the boot out of the suite.:rolleyes:

 

Maybe DW would prefer the inside cabin and skip the suite perks.:eek:

Guilty as charged! I was assuming 'Kelly' is a girls' name but it could be a man.

officially yes, unless the other adult is D+ or Pinnacle in their own right.

 

best work around is to check in that way then go to Guest services request an extra key for the GS and the other adult.

 

otherwise explain to the concierge when you see them and ask for some leeway.

this requirement is waived when the adults are in the cabin directly across or next door and the cabin/reservation is linked.

[Starry Eyes]

I'd book the kids across the hall as planned.

 

There is a high probability the cabins will have the same muster station. And, fortunately, there is a low probability you will have a muster emergency; mostly likely just the drill.

 

In the unlikely event that young kids were assigned a different muster station from all adults, I must believe the ship would find a way to keep young kids with at least one adult (possibly giving the kids arm bands for the adults muster station, adjusting others muster assignment if capacity required). If older, fewer worries; typically young adults should be able to manage a separate muster station.
