toledo Posted September 10, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I assume, as the sailing date get close, they might agree to this. There is only one triple available right now, but it's at the very front of the ship and I don't think we'd like that. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_duck Posted September 10, 2010 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2010 When will Carnival put 3 people in a quad cabin? When there is no booking restrictions for that sail. Here is an idea, call Carnival and see if you can book the cabin you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked our 09/19/10 Legend cruise about a year ago. We selected a quad cabin, although there are only two of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For popular cruising dates Carnival places restrictions on underbooking cabins. Even when they do allow such, they do so with the caveat that they can move you if they need the cabin (altho admittedly they apparently VERY seldom do so). Try "Duck's" suggestion! ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellatj Posted September 10, 2010 #5 Share Posted September 10, 2010 When i added a person to my sons room they moved them to a quad room and its only 3 of them. we sail in oct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toledo Posted September 10, 2010 Author #6 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Carnival told me there are restrictions listed on this cruise, so I was wondering when they usually lift restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessemon Posted September 10, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Just a thought....Why not book it for four and before the penalty cancel the fourth person. This would only work if you "do not" use early saver rates... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toledo Posted September 10, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted September 10, 2010 No early saver rates here! I just don't want to get bumped to a bad triple. Would I still have a risk of that happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted September 10, 2010 #9 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Im booked next January with 3 in a quad. No one mentioned a problem. I didnt want to chance the rollaway was a trundle bed on Ecstasy so I moved us to a quad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted September 10, 2010 #10 Share Posted September 10, 2010 As with Carnival sometimes....it depends. They would not allow us to book 4 in an OV quad on the Elation for January 1st (because the Elation allows a rollaway to be brought in). They would allow us to book 4 in a Interior quad..... :confused: I have started to read more and more threads about ships that were built before 2000...with Carnival being more restrictive.... it just depends....

Litewait Posted September 10, 2010 #11 Share Posted September 10, 2010 To book 3 in a quad. 6232 just this week, and they would not let me book it. I've had 4 in that cabin and it's to many. Had to go up 2 floors and book 7258 for 2 and getting an inside. I just cant see 4 in some of these cabins!:rolleyes: The price you pay for wanting certain cabins...

psbtrvlr Posted September 10, 2010 #12 Share Posted September 10, 2010 No early saver rates here! I just don't want to get bumped to a bad triple. Would I still have a risk of that happening? On my upcoming Spirit cruise, I wanted to put 3 in a quad. They wouldn't let me. I booked 4 several months ago (no early saver), and cancelled one about mid July. I am still in the quad cabin.

blindrid Posted September 10, 2010 #13 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I think the moral of the story here is that CCL can do what they want to. Just because you book 3 in a quad doesn't guarantee you as they have the right to move you if they desire. That's why you get the "may or may not" answers here. You'll find out.

truchattycathy Posted September 10, 2010 #14 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I agree with blindrid, Carnival is not consistent. We always book quads, with two or three people (when we book with two, we know we will add a third person later). My PVP looks to see if there are restrictions on the room before he books it that way. So I guess it all depends on who you talk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litewait Posted September 10, 2010 #15 Share Posted September 10, 2010 there were occupancy estrictions listed on the Carnival page. When I talked to my PVP he told me. no can do.. And he does just about anything he can to get what I want when I book.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toledo Posted September 10, 2010 Author #16 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Well, I just don't get it. There look to be tons of quads available. They are going to risk losing our family of 5 because of a shortage of triples. The Emerald Princess is my second choice, as the itinaray is similar, and price is just slightly higher.

There's only 3 of us and our past 2 cruises with Carnival we had a quad! Just call up and tell them what room you want! Our PVP always books us in a Quad!

Our PVP always books us in a Quad! Again, for certain sailings Carnival places a restriction on underbooking cabins, whereby PVP's and TA's alike are not allowed to underbook the cabins. During other unrestricted sailings, PVP's and TA's CAN underbook cabins, but they are responsible for advising you that you may be moved if they eventually need the cabin. While this apparently seldom happens, I personally wouldn't want this uncertainty hanging over my head. ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topazz11 Posted September 10, 2010 #20 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I am booked in a triple that I picked and we are only 2 people. If they want to give me a better cabin, they can have mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurbanfan Posted September 10, 2010 #21 Share Posted September 10, 2010 We have booked triples with only 2 people several times and never had an issue. Actually we have one booked right now for our group. The reason we booked these is because they were the last cabins available at the best price. They have all been balcony cabins........and have always been booked no more then 4 months out......never had an issue....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litewait Posted September 10, 2010 #22 Share Posted September 10, 2010 There is an issue with 2 in a triple. It's the quad cabins they are refusing to book 3 in on most cruises now. I have looked at several and they all say in red at the top of the Carnival page. 1230 : The stateroom category selected has an occupancy restriction. Changes in occupancy may result in a change in fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goofytoo Posted September 10, 2010 #23 Share Posted September 10, 2010 When we first booked our B2B Carnival had restricted the quad cabins. I checked about a month later and the quads opened up on one of the sailings but not the other one. I called them and asked if they could book us into that room for the week that was still restricted. They checked with their manager and agreed to do it with the understanding that they may move us if they have to. Three months later and they have not changed our room yet. I am quite nervous they will bump us, but I will be really glad to not have to change rooms on our B2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
