debster818 Posted February 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 10, 2010 When I try to book a cabin on a certain cruise, any kind of stateroom a message comes up saying"a cruise with a mach for the selection criteria on previous page is not currently available. Please slect another cruise. What does that mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecko2gecko Posted February 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I get that when I'm trying to book for more people than the rooms available can hold. I don't have it down to a science though, that's for sure. I'm not positive, but I think the only rooms that can hold 5 are suites. If that's correct and you're looking for an OV but have 5 people, I think you'll get an error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of exceptions, the family OV on Dream and one suite on only one ship that is special. OP since you didnt give us any information, what ship and date, no one can look it up, all they can do is guess why you are having trouble. What category and how many people?

It is my understanding that most rooms are built for quad occupancy at most with the exception of suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a inside does not hold 5, then neither will a suite. Has nothing to do with what category the cabin is. It has to do with the age of the ship, the older ones were grandfathered in.

Why is it when booking online with each ship I've tried that I can pick a date, change the number of passengers to 5, and the price comes up in suite but all the rest are no longer available? For example, I tried the Nov 20th sailing on the Liberty (2005) and it gave me the option of putting 5 people into a suite on the Lido at a rate of $2759 with guests 3,4,5 at $479.

As I mentioned above, there are TWO exceptions. There are family OVs on Dream (2 I think) and ONE suite ...that one (at $6500 for the family) .. vs. a regular suite which starts at $1089 for pax 1 and 2. .. . There is only one ... on that one ship. Its called the Captain's Suite. Its not a regular suite, much better and its only one that one ship. Those cabins are the only exceptions as I noted when I posted the info in the beginning. One cabin on the Liberty and those on the Dream. No other new ships have cabins holding 5, no other suites .. just that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gecko2gecko Posted February 10, 2010 #9 Share Posted February 10, 2010 ok...sure thing. I guess I'm good at finding the exceptions then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 11, 2010 #10 Share Posted February 11, 2010 ok...sure thing. I guess I'm good at finding the exceptions then. Try looking at other Conquest class ships ... there are no other ships with a Captains suite like that. Prove it to yourself, as I obviously cant prove it to you. Didnt you think the price was a bit odd?? even more than the old category 12 suites?? Which are the highest suites on most conquest class ships.

lovepea Posted February 11, 2010 #15 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I checked out that date and ship and I see quite a few balconies available. Perhaps you can try calling Carnival to check on pricing since the site isn't cooperating with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb - Just for fun, log-in to carnival.com using Username and Password, the do a log-out. When you re-visit there should be no welcome or recognition info across the top. I went to Destinations/Ships in the top border, then Itineraries then to your sailing date and was able to see the Balconies (for 2 Passengers) ??? and/or just go to one of the large on-line Travel sites and check your cruise. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are logged in and try to see your own cruise, I often get errors, so I have to log out and start again. Im also get verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry slow page loading today on Carnival. Took me 10 minutes to get to the deck plans of Pride to answer a question on CC this morning. time after time hitting refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
