tigers317 Posted June 13, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I am thinking about booking a last minute cruise. I am looking at booking two rooms three doors apart with 1 adult and two kids in one and one adult and kid in the other. I know on Royal you can go to guest services and get an extra key so the wife and I can stay in one cabin and the 3 kids in one. How does that work on Carnival?

Razor_Poke Posted June 13, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Just go to GS desk and they will shuffle the keys however you want. We've done this a few times with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherbear4000 Posted June 13, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2017 You can ask for extra keys or switch the guests in each cabin around. Just go to guest services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A&Jfamily Posted June 13, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2017 On CCL I think they have to be of a certain age to be 3 doors apart - have you confirmed your choice? In my experience you have to call directly to book the rooms with parents in one and minors in another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reerun25 Posted June 13, 2017 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Carnival's policy as far as minors is 12 and under If the relative or guardian insists on booking separate staterooms, minors must either be directly across the hall or next door. Guests 12 and under may not be assigned to a balcony stateroom without a relative or guardian (25 years of age or older). Guests 13-17 Can be booked up to 3 staterooms away from a relative or guardian (25 years of age or older). Guests 18-20 Do not have any restrictions and may book whatever location they prefer. Once on the ship, quick trip to GS and you can get extra door keys. If you don't actually move them on paper (or in the system) they will need to carry both keys, as one will be for the room and the other will be for S&S purchases.

We booked our teenage sons in an inside cabin directly across the hall from our balcony cabin. There was no need to switch occupants, get extra keys, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigers317 Posted June 14, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Thank you for all the responses. I will book the rooms tomorrow. Hopefully next time I can book earlier and get rooms across or side by side. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42rob22 Posted June 14, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Just a friendly reminder, if you book two cabins, one adult per cabin, you can buy the Cheers program for one adult, but not the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP it's the same as on Princess. Just go to guest services and ask for extra keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseman38 Posted June 14, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yep, just go to guest services once you board and ask for additional room keys. We do that for our kids as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go to guest services and ask for extra keys. My point was this wasn't necessary; you can call Carnival and book rooms with just the kids per the policy above. Then you don't have to worry about swapping keys etc. The only reason to book one parent in each room would be if one was a drinker and wanted Cheers and the other did not.

attran99 Posted June 14, 2017 #15 Share Posted June 14, 2017 We just booked for next Spring Break, me and one of the kids in a balcony and my husband and two of the kids in an interior one room away down the hallway. Our PVP said that they would make sure to make extra keys for us to get into the kids' room upon embarkation. This set up will make Cheers much more palatable.

Did you formally put adults together and match up keys? Did they make you add a 2nd cheers package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsgu Posted March 5, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Can I ask what you did at check in? Did you formally put adults together and match up keys? Did they make you add a 2nd cheers package? You don't do anything at check in. Check in just the way you are booked. Once on the ship, all of you go directly to Guest Services and get the extra keys you need (for instance, a new key to your room for your husband and a new key to the kids' room for the one that needs to move there). Those people -- with the new keys -- will have to carry 2 cards: their S&S cards and their key cards. They will use the S&S for purchases and the key card to enter the room. GS will not care what you are doing with the keys, and they won't ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
