GMRPHRN Posted January 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I am planning on taking my 15 yo daughter and 18 yo son on a cruise in June with Carnival. I really wanted my son to have his own room as all three of us sharing a room is not my idea of a vacation. I know lots of people book two rooms when they have two adults and then put the children in their own room after boarding. I do not have another adult in mind that I could ask to join us and their father is deceased. I am not trying to bend the rules or commit fraud but would like to know if there is ever a way to do this. I would take full responsibility of course. I understand why Carnival has this rule but all 18 year olds are not alike. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdjl Posted January 9, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) As long as they are within 3 doors down or across the hall, it's no problem. I had 2 rooms with my 3 kids aged 13, 11, 8. On NCL we were able to book 2 and 2 adjoining balconies, on CCL, because I wanted balconies, (per CCL, child has to be 13 to be in a balcony w/o an adult), I booked 3 and 1, and then stayed 2 and 2. Most cruise lines will accommodate multiple rooms with kids, DIsney was the only one that wouldn't, so I chose NCL, lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited January 9, 2016 by asdjl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familycruzr Posted January 9, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) You need call to book because the online system won't let you do this. If you call, you won't have a problem as long as it is just your child. Edited January 9, 2016 by familycruzr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted January 9, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Booking him in his ow room will be expensive Single supplement paying two cruise fares But since he is your own child you can book him in his own room across The hall or next door That is the only place he can be booked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuddrules Posted January 9, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Guests 13 - 17 years of age Can be booked up to 3 staterooms away from their relative or guardian. Guests 18 – 20 years of age Do not have any restrictions and may book whatever location they prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabbyCooks Posted January 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Actually, an 18 yo can have their own cabin anywhere on the ship just as long as a parent/guardian is somewhere onboard. They don't have to be 3 cabins away. We've booked ours about 10 cabins away once just because that's what was open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dulcimergirl Posted January 9, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'm wondering if this question will go away when you find out how much it is for a single.. Personally, I'd book myself in a cabin, then the kids in a joining cabin. Let us know what you do please. Either way, enjoy your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdjl Posted January 9, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I booked single for my 14 year old and then booked me and my two other children next door, because I wanted balconies in the Magic. I knew it was more, but since husband wasn't going that cruise, it was the only way since the other 2 were not 13 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only concern is how close it must be located to your cabin, and if I recall correctly at 18 it doesn't matter how close he is to you.

RuthlessBoss Posted January 9, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 9, 2016 As has been mentioned about solo rates. One of you will pay double even if there's just one in the cabin. Essentially you'll pay for 4 even if 3 go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
