OK...this is what I did and I want to know if anyone else had a problem doing this. I am traveling on a Carnival cruise with my family (wife and I in one cabin and my 21 year old daughter and my 11 year old son in another cabin)<BR><BR>I first reserved the cabin for my wife and I. Then I reserved my cabin for my 21 and 11 year old...but when I plugged in my daughter's year of birth, it refused to do the reservation, saying that any kids have to be in a room with someone 25 years or older....well, if I had know that, I would have reserved my wife and daughter in one cabin and myself and my son in another...but I already had the reservation paid for my wife and I....so I reserved the other cabin but put 1977 as the year of birth for my daughter so she would appear to be 25 years old....now, when we check in, will there be any problem? <BR><BR>if so, cant we just have them put me in with my son and my wife with my daughter, then we will just have the room arrangements we intended in the first place, after we have checked in? Will they accept my excuse, if needed, that I "accidently" put in the wrong year of birth on my daughter?

Greg, We cruise all the time (Seabourn, Silverseas, Sea Dream) with our 14 and 10 year olds. We ALWAYS have to book one room in my name and one room in my wife's for just that reason. It is no problem to arrange the rooms as you see fit! We always get a room with two doubles and one with a queen....we used to do connected rooms....now we do adjoining or across the hall...works out great!!!! Tim

CALL THE CRUISE LINE<BR><BR>You will probably get into a real mess when checking in. <BR>

Theresa

I agree - <BR><BR>Call the Cruiseline or you will encounter problems.<BR><BR>Just tell them you want to rearrange the room assignments and then somehow say "I saw on the confirmation that your daughter's birthdate is wrong - and ask them to correct it".<BR><BR>This will not be a problem - it is done all the time that the parents are in one cabin and the kids in another. Most of the time you say you have one adult in one and the other. After you have checked in -go to the purser's desk and have them swap room keys.

Paul Therault

Not a good idea to let the purser's office know your sleeping arrangements.<BR><BR>Just swap room keys with your kids.<BR><BR>Paul

Theresa

I know several who do this all the time and they switch keys at the purser's desk.<BR><BR>Because the keys are often also the charge cards - it may be a good idea to get them switched.<BR><BR>Really, this isn't a problem once you get on the ship. Still call and get the age changed ASAP and switch the rooms to having 1 adult in each room.

It has been my experience with Carnival that as long as the 2 cabins are cross referneced, you can have the 2 kids in one cabin.<BR>I have a group sailing tomorrow and one of the cabins is 3 kids. <BR>Have your agent call them, or if you self booked call them.<BR>You can pay a $35 per cabin name change fee and switch the cabins if they will not allow the above scenerio.

Carnival has a bit more important things to do than to check each room to see the sleeping arrangements. <BR><BR>Do as has already been suggested. Call and correct the room assignments and age information. Once you are on board, just do it, don't get into any discussions about it.

Anna

Carnival's new policy as of June is that kids just need to be in an ADJACENT cabin if travelling with parents. It was printed on our cruise docs when they came. We switched the keys at the pursers office with no trouble. (Our kids were 18, 15, 13 in a cabin next door) Your key is also your sign and sail card on many Carnival ships so just trading with your kid might not be a good idea.

Paul Therault

Theresa and Anna are correct. The rooom keys are the charge-cards on all newer ships.<BR><BR>Well noted.<BR><BR>Paul
