Carnival Breeze Ocean View Deluxe question

[stanze5]

I am looking for 3 person options on Carnival Breeze. Do all of the OV Deluxe rooms come with a sofa bed? My teen (19yr) daughter is planning to cruise with us, but if she finds a friend they will get their own interior. If not, we want to be able to have her sleep in our room so I was going to book an OV Deluxe for two but if it ends up she doesn't find anyone before final payment can I just add her to our room? TIA

just checked,and it looks like all OV Deluxe rooms for 3 people come with a sofa bed..

If we book for two ppl but then have to add her at a later date will there be a sofa bed in all OV deluxes? That's the part I am confused on. Got two completely different answers from Carnival. Thanks!

Some of the Deluxe Ocean View rooms on the Breeze are listed as 2 person rooms. My mom was in one of them in July on the Breeze. We had a 4person and my sister a 3person all in a row. My mom's sofa did not look any different but since the room was only listed as 2, I guess they could not make it into a bed. On the Breeze deck plans you can look at which rooms are 2,3 or 4 person.

Thanks! Did you find the Deluxe OV rooms to be that much bigger than the regular OV rooms?

Yes we love their size. With four people, the.extra storage space and two bathrooms are a necessity. We have been on the Dream twice and Breeze once in the deluxe ocean view. It would be hard to go back to a regular size room.

No, they do not all come with a sofa BED. Please understand that not all the deluxe OV rooms can take a 3rd person. That's the real question you should be asking. This is the confusing part for some people: every deluxe OV room will have the exact same sofa in it, same size, same everything. BUT, only certain rooms are designated for sleeping at least a 3rd person. In the 2-person OV rooms, the sofa can only be a sofa, and is not allowed to be a bed. While it could easily be made into a bed, it is not a designated bed, and that room cannot have a 3rd person booked into it.

 

It's tricky. You would have to book 2 people in a 3-person (or 4 or 5 person) OV room, with the idea of maybe adding her later, and there's no guarantee that they will even let you book 2 into a 3+ person room. The danger there is that you could get bumped out of the room and into a 2-person room before you add her. And then your really in trouble. They wouldn't bump you unless there were no more 3+ person OV rooms left, so you wouldn't be able to then move into a room designated for 3, so you wouldn't be able to add her. You would have to hope that there was a balcony for 3 that you could upgrade to, which would cost quite a bit extra. Or she would have to be booked into her own room, which usually involves paying 2 cruise fares for 1 person. She could still sleep in your room on the sofa, made up into a bed, but she wouldn't be able to be booked into your room if it's only designated for 2 people.

 

I was in a deluxe OV room in January, and they are quite large. The extra half-bathroom takes up some space, so the room space is about the same as or slightly less than a regular OV. An extra 10 sq.ft. is not much at all, and that extra half-bathroom has got to be more than 10 sf. But it's a good size room.
