Question about Age to Sail Alone

[sredish]

Hi there!

 

I probably need to call CCL and ask, but I thought I'd ask here and see if anyone knows.  My husband and I are planning a Spring Break cruise for us and our 5 kids who range in age from 14 - 20 (14 year old boy, two 16 year old girls and the two 20 year old boys (I should say men...haha).   This will more than likely be our last family vacay as the 7 of us, as the kids are getting older and serious girlfriends are emerging (yikes!).  We would ideally like to get three rooms...but with my husband and I being the only two adults over the age of 21 at time of sail, will it be an option to assign our two 20 year old boys to their own room on the reservation therefore allowing us to get three rooms?  I'd like to have the reservation show a room with myself and two girls, my husband with the youngest and then the older boys in their own room, so 3/2/2 break out in rooms...then obviously switch everyone out on board to have my husband and I alone in a room, the three youngest in a room next door or as close as possible and the older boys in the third room.  I see the rule is 21 and over to sail "alone", but since they aren't technically alone but accompanied by us and on our reservation, can they be assigned to their own room?  If not, then I guess we'll just have to do two rooms (which will be a tight fit).

Yes, they can get their own room, anywhere on the ship because they are linked to you

Thank you!  My husband is eligible for a separate rate code than I am, so if we split me and him up on the reservation, I get $500 OBC and he will get an additional $200 OBC plus free casino drinks.  If we combine us both in one room and give the kids their own rooms on paper, then we forego that extra OBC and the free drinks.  But good to know about the boys being anywhere.  I'm sure they'd rather be on their own deck away from us, haha.  They're easy, mature kids, so I'm not worried about them being loud jerks or getting in trouble.

Yup.  They can have their own room since you are on board.  If they are by themselves it can be anywhere on the ship, of you put some of the younger children in there with them there will be restrictions on location.
