Non-converting twin beds in balcony cabins???

[LegallyBlondeCruiseLVR]

I've cruised Carnival tons of times and have typically done "guaranteed" cabins (where you pick your stateroom type but Carnival picks your category and location based on availability - this option is usually the least expensive) and have ALWAYS ended up with two twins that convert to a king. ALWAYS. Well, I just finished booking our sailing on the Carnival Breeze, balcony type, and was warned that 50% of balconies on the Breeze have no queen/king capability - in other words they only have twins that CAN'T be converted to a king. Because this sounded so outlandish, I asked to speak to a supervisor and got the same answer.

 

Has anyone ever had a balcony on Carnival, particularly on the Breeze or a sister ship, where their twins could not convert to a king? This seems so ridiculous, and even if this set-up does exist, I'm seriously skeptical that this would be true for 50% of the balcony cabins. :confused:

Not true at all. I've never seen this either. Where did you make your booking? On carnival.com ?

 

On the Breeze , non converting twins are only found in 3 categories of cabin.

 

1A's: There are 30 of them and they all have either twin/upper or twin/sofa

 

4J's: Forward facing walkway skyviews #7207 and 7208

 

6N's: 20 Large Quint occupancy Family Ocean View Cabins where the 2 twins will not convert to a king when the 2 uppers are in use.

 

All balcony cabins on the Breeze are twin/king

Thanks AdGuy - you're my hero. This conversation was with two different Carnival customer service reps - so weird that they would say something to freak someone out about one of their higher priced types of cabins. I hope they weren't just trying to get me to pay more for a specific type of balcony cabin. That doesn't sound like Carnival (they've never been pushy or shady with me) but I can't think of another explanation other than them just being really misinformed.

No problem. By the way, I loved your show when I was aboard the Norwegian Getaway last April.

LOL - I am a female lawyer with blonde hair, but unfortunately am not Elle Woods (but your comment does make me think more of NCL :o )
