Adding a fifth passengers-what to know before I call?

I would like to add a fifth person to the RC Owners suite Eastern Med next September. Anything I need to look out for? I've read some threads about conflicting deals, but I don't understand. The current deal is a second person sails half off, or something similar.

Thanks in advance.

First thing to be worried about is whether or not the room accommodates 5 passengers. Next will be whether or not there is still capacity.

I'd check the deck plan for your ship to see if the OS can accomodate 5 persons before you call.

Thank you! It is a two bedroom and the suite is said to hold eight, so that shouldn't be a problem, but I understand the rescue boat situation might be. Also, I'm having trouble estimating cost. Would it be about one fifth of the current cost of the suite plus taxes and fees? Does the fifth person in a suite pay any less than the first two or three or four or.....

You have to call them to get the cost. You are also correct that the muster station could fill up, so I'd to this ASAP.

So...... don't hold out for the next BOGO promotion? :halo: According to "mycruises", we sail in about 250 days. We have a TA, and I will get on it ASAP.

I would call them. You lose nothing from the call.

The biggest concern you will have is the capacity of the lifeboat -- they do have limits as to how many people are assigned to each lifeboat. Until you talk to RCI, you will not know how well and how many people are already assigned to your lifeboat.

No standard cabin will hold 5 on RCI. You may have to "rearrange" cabin occupants and you will need another cabin, unless you're in a suite that will hold 5 or more. And, even if you are in a large suite, that doesn't mean you can add a person.

The OP clearly said they were in a suite that sleeps 8.

5 is less than 8, no problem to book

Thanks all.

Do let us know what RCI says about adding a 5th person to your cabin.

Will do!

Last time we booked a suite with only four people it seemed we needed special permission because we didn't have five. They let us go with four without much "ado". This time they let me book with four, no questions asked.

An update; it's going to cost $580.09. I think this is the same as we paid for the fourth person.

Not a bad price.

Not bad at all! Of course, if I recall correctly, the first person costs more than 10 times that!

So did you add the 5th person already? Remember, they can run out of muster station slots.

Very nice.

That's going to be up to the fifth passenger ( my sister). I've passed on the information, although perhaps not the urgency.
