CnCsMom Posted March 24, 2016 #26 Share Posted March 24, 2016 That seems like a simpler option. So I'd just go and ask for an extra key to my room? And she would do the same? I didn't realize you could ask for extra room keys on the ship. That way we wouldn't have to fool with accounts, especially since I set mine up ahead of time. We just had extra keys made this past week on our cruise. I would recommend when you do it that you ask them to do it on different colored cards as there's nothing on the cards to identify which room they are for. The person at guest services did one of ours on a blue card and one on a red card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovestocruise19 Posted March 27, 2016 Author #27 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Okay, so now I know that my husband will have to be listed as in the room with the girl and I will have to be listed in the room with the boy and that we can just ask for duplicate room keys (seems to be easier than totally changing S&S cards). But, do we need to do anything else to make this work? According to Carnival's site: "Guests Under the Age of 21 MUST travel with a relative or guardian of 25 years of age or older. The guardian does not need to be a legal guardian. The bookings must be cross-referenced with the guardian’s stateroom and documented properly." Since I will be "in the room" with the 20 year old I can be considered his guardian, right? We can certainly cross-reference our bookings because we want to do that to sit together at dinner anyway. But what is the "documented properly" part all about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Do-Over Posted March 27, 2016 #28 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Guest services can simply change the room access. DH and I each booked a cabin (casino offers). We each book a room, and take a friend/family member as the 2nd pax/guest. Once aboard, guest services re-programs the cards so that DH and I are together and the guests share. They don't mess with the ID/photo/charge account, just the room access. No duplicate keys, no worries about them buying beer on my account. Only the two people trading need to go to Guest Services (not all four of you). If you can wait until after dinner, the line will be shorter.

Cruisinangel2 Posted March 28, 2016 #29 Share Posted March 28, 2016 jakesnana, please re-read the Minor Guest Policy updated 3/16/16 on GoCCL.com: Guests Under the Age of 21 MUST travel with a relative or guardian of 25 years of age or older The guardian does not need to be a legal guardian. The bookings must be cross-referenced with the relative or guardian’s stateroom and documented properly. When minors (18 and under) are not traveling with a relative, we strongly recommend bringing an original signed letter from the absent parent/legal guardian authorizing the minor to travel. Guests who are 21 to 24 years of age may travel with their minor children. Minors Traveling as a Group: The policy is slightly different because of stricter group terms and conditions as follows: Must have 1 chaperone for every 8 minors Prepaid gratuities per minor are due at final payment 8 or more staterooms must be booked through the Group Department and a $100 damage deposit per minor will be charged. Guests 12 and younger If the relative or guardian insists on booking separate staterooms, minors must either be directly across the hall or next door. Guests 12 and under may not be assigned to a balcony stateroom without a relative or guardian. Guests 13 - 17 years of age Can be booked up to 3 staterooms away from their relative or guardian. Guests 18 – 20 years of age Do not have any restrictions and may book whatever location they prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have updated the policy on 3/16 but the info must be located in more than one spot, as the info I posted was directly from Goccl.com on 3/19. Thank you for the heads up, but if Carnival DID post that info on 3/16, I suggest they look around Goccl.com and find out where else the info needs to be corrected.
