WendyVF Posted August 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It's been awhile since we've sailed with 2 cabins and I can't remember if we were able to combine them on one Boarding pass. We are platinum and the kids aren't. Of course we want to board together. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is there a way to do it without putting one of us on each booking? We can go that route but would rather not if we don't have to. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mizLORInj Posted August 20, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2013 If the kids are minors, they will let all of you stay together. Or if you're all on the same credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccruisequeen Posted August 20, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 20, 2013 you can use an all in one boarding pass (there's a choice between single or all in one,) but not sure if that refers to cabins or just booking numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky2 Posted August 20, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2013 you can use an all in one boarding pass (there's a choice between single or all in one,) but not sure if that refers to cabins or just booking numbers That's only if they are all in the same cabin which they are not. You'll have to print out a boarding pass for both cabins, but they can board with you as long as they are minors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WendyVF Posted August 20, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately they're not minors (18 & 22). They were the last time we booked 2 cabins so I guess that is what I was remembering. Looks like I'll change the booking to put one of us in their cabin.

bsdmhutch Posted August 20, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2013 You could add FTTF to their booking and then they would also have priority boarding with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have their S&S account on your credit card. Then they can board with you. If you so choose, once you are on board, you all can go to Guest Services and have their own credit cards put onto their S&S accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonit964 Posted August 20, 2013 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2013 We are cruising with my dad, and two adult children for Thanksgiving. We are Platinum, they are not. We are going to board with them in the regular line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It no longer works in Galveston since FTTF. I would bet that any port with FTTF no longer allows this loophole. Also, even if the others were to book FTTF, they cannot board with the platinum guests. Nor do they check in together (even if they're on the same credit card). However, the platinum guests can choose to stay behind and board with FTTF, which is after diamond/platinum/suite guest boarding.

The only thing consistent about Carnival is its inconsistency! :rolleyes: In all honesty, I can't speak for any port other than Galveston. But I can assure everyone that as of May, this loophole is dead in Galveston. You cannot put your credit card on another booking and expect them to be able to check in and board with you. Last July, those extra cabins would appear on the VIP list in Galveston. In May, didn't happen. Two cabins were able to check in with my credit card on their account without me ever being there. That alone could cause a whole host of other issues in the future. Meredith Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
