minniefino Posted November 21, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Looking to book a Boardwalk balcony room on Allure. Will RCL let me book me, DH, and DD (4 years old) in a double room? There are no more Boardwalk balcony quads available for our sailing, only the doubles are available. Otherwise we will have to book a Central Park balcony instead, but would prefer the Boardwalk. Anyone have experience with this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggypooo Posted November 21, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2011 You need minimum a triple room. They will not put 3 in a double room. Even if the 3rd is little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted November 21, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 21, 2011 And four is not "little". Three passengers, three berths. That is how it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybee85 Posted November 21, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The only time you can put three people into a double room is if the third is 2 or under and will be using a crib. Even then, you should remember that crib will take up the vast majority of the free space in the room. You can always book a Central Park view and waitlist a Boardwalk view.

ehfl Posted November 22, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 22, 2011 If you have 3 people, you need to book for 3 people. I know that sounds crazy, but that's the way it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicbird Posted November 22, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Honeybee is right. While you CAN book 3 people in a double, one of those three has to be under 2. Now that ours is 4, we also run into the dreaded "have to book in a cabin that is a triple or quad" (for which the price is usually higher.... sigh.)

If it is in the same category, it will be the same price to have a third bed as it would have been to have an infant in a Pack N Play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicbird Posted November 22, 2011 #8 Share Posted November 22, 2011 If it is in the same category, it will be the same price to have a third bed as it would have been to have an infant in a Pack N Play. True, BUT there are a number of categories that you cannot even book with 3+ pax that you can book with 2 adults and a <2 year old, and those categories are often the cheaper ones. For example, picking a random cruise in Jan (Nav 6-night on 1/29) if I were 2 pax, I could get an N or a Q cat for $469-479 per pax. You could put a pack and play in these rooms. Change that to 3 pax (i.e. 3 berths) and the lowest price is now $509 and the lowest category available is a K. Also, you cannot book a guarantee category with more than 2 pax. As you move up to more expensive categories it makes less difference. For example we are in a D1 for next week's cruise, and those cabins have staterooms with 2, or 2+ berths, and they are all the same price. When you are a bottom feeder like myself, you notice that the cheapest categories are no longer available to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
