Switching people in cabins

[torwa]

My fiance and I each earned a free cruise and are taking his sister and BIL. I have a room booked for the sister and myself and the BIL is booked in my fiance's room. Obviously, we need to switch BIL and myself. My question is; is your S&S card also your room key? Can we get extra room keys? And, can each person in the room set up their own S&S account so it keeps charges separated? Sorry for sounding like a newbie, but it's been 5 years since we cruised Carnival and we have never booked two rooms. Thanks in advance!

I have done that multiple times. You can easily switch cabins. Once you are on board, just go to the desk and ask to switch. They will swap the 2 of you back into the correct rooms.

Even though the room is booked under my name? They'll still let me switch? What about the room key?

They will switch the keys, too....not a problem!

Thanks so much for the info. Do you happen to know if everyone can have their own S&S account?

When you embark, all of you need to go directly to Guest Services together. Tell the person behind the desk who you'd like to switch to which cabin. Your S&S cards will be reprogrammed so that the right couple is together.

 

Each S&S card is attached to a separate folio so there will be no issue with that.

 

We've done this twice so far. Both times my husband had on board credit that stayed on his folio even after he switched to my cabin.

 

Hope this helps.

Easy peasy. We did except one time they put some on board credit on the wrong room so check your bill.

Thank you all for the excellent information. I really appreciate it! Now I think I might have to consider trying to get FTTF, so we don't spend all afternoon in the guest services line LOL!

Unless you are getting FTTF anyway I wouldn't. It only took us a few minutes in line to get the key cards changed. Just make sure everyone involved is present in line.

They don't really care where you sleep once on the ship! :D

We are doing this on RCCL for a cruise in Feb 2017 with my brother and his wife. I have read here in the forum that you can just get an extra key for the room. You'll have your S&S card and a second key card that only opens the cabin you're sleeping in.

You can switch without a problem.

They really don't care which adult sleeps where.

Why deal with extra keys when the S&S cards can be reprogrammed in all of three minutes.
