Very Perplexed !!

Some time ago I looked at the opportunity to book cabin # 5241 ( premium balcony) for a great deal...but sadly was told it could not accomodate 3 passsengers....???? Bigger room, but only for 2 - whatever.

 

 

Now I see cabin # 6279 available for 3 on our upcoming cruise, for much more $$$......can anyone explain to me how the same cabins on different decks can accomodate different # of passengers. ?? This makes no sense at all. I struggled to understand the explanation the first time...

Looks like 5241 doesn't have a convertible sofa bed or any other kind of bed besides the twins that you can make into a king...

 

 

but 6279 (on the deck plans) has the shaded square which means it actually sleeps 4 with a convertible sofa and an upper bunk.

 

Just depends on what Carnival puts in the room...

They are not the same cabins. If you look at the deckplans, you will see that 6279 has 2 twins (Convertable to King), Single convertable sofa and an upper.

They are also different categories, because 5241 is an obstructed view cabin, making it a lot less expensive. EM

And often cabins are absolutely identical but some will only accommodate 2 ppl while others will accommodate 3 or 4. The coast guard determines the occupancy rates, not the cruise line. If by chance there were 3-4 guests in the cabins assigned to a particular life boat, there wouldn't be enough spots on the life boat for everyone. this is why one cabin might accommodate 2 people and the identical one next to it might accommodate 3 or 4.
