Cheers and separate cabins question

[gigem_aggies]

Cruising with my extended family in July. When we booked with our PVP, husband and I both had casino offers, but my parents did not. In order to utilize the offer for both cabins, our PVP suggested putting my husband in my parents' cabin and then having guest services move him to my cabin once on board. Husband and I are considering Cheers, but my parents do not want Cheers this time.

 

 

But, then we started trying to figure all of this out: Would it be possible for me to pre-order Cheers on board, switch hubby to my cabin through guest services, and NOT get Cheers for him? (We aren't interested in sharing Cheers. He is considering ordering bottle service. I prefer to not have to mix my own drinks all week.)

No, you will need to get cheers for all in the cabin in the end...sorry!

To save some money you did the switch,and to try it again for the cheers? It's proably going to catch up with you.sometimes you have to leave well enough alone.

Sounds very complicated...

 

So your PVP recommends booking one of your parents into your cabin and your husband and other parent in the other cabin?

 

What I see happening is that they require you to purchase Cheers for the parent assigned to you cabin when you sign up. Then after you board when you switch cabins m I don’t know if they would let you remove it. And when you put your husband into your cabin they may add it to his as well...

 

It could work out as you hope or it could be a big mess... hopefully the casino offer is great enough to make the risk worthwhile!

1st. Every adult in the cabin must purchase cheers, if you ne parent is with you they will have to buy too.

 

So if you want cheers, the parent in your cabin would have to buy too.

 

Now, once on board, your husband could switch cabins with the parent that has cheers and he would not have to buy cheers - but the parent switching would still have to keep it.

 

2nd. If you are in cabin by yourself and his is in the other cabin with both parents, then you can buy cheers just for you. Once on board, he can move to your cabin and will not be forced to buy it. However, I would think if this is how you did it, you are spending more on the room then you need to as you must be paying a single supplement?

From a previous experience I purchased cheers before I sailed. When we got on board I got an extra key for my room for my other daughter but I really gave it to hubby. Carnival never asked any questions and I never had to purchase another cheers.

 

We always book two or three cabin when we cruise. 1 with myself and daughter other with my mom and other daughter and another with hubby and sons. I just tell guest services that my daughter needs to be able to get in and out my stateroom and they give me an extra key. I never mention anything about hubby.

No, we booked my husband and my parents in one cabin. We booked myself and our 3 daughters in another cabin. My husband had the casino offer as did I from a cruise we took in November. My parents did not have the offer, so our PVP told us to book my husband with my parents and then when we get on board, just have his card switched to our room at guest services. We had not even considered Cheers and how that would affect our booking until today.

I'm in the cabin booked with our 3 young daughters. He's booked in the room right now with my parents and my nephew. My oldest daughter and my husband will just switch places once we are on board so that he and I will be in the room with our 2 youngest daughters and my parents will have my nephew and oldest daughter. So, it sounds like you are thinking he will NOT have to buy Cheers if I pre-order it and he switches rooms once on board?

You won't have any issues making this work out. We just had this same scenario last month for our spring break cruise. I booked my brother in law in my room with our kids, put my wife in the other room with her sister and kids. We purchased the Cheers package for my room so that each family would have 1 person with the Cheers package. Once we got on the ship we went to guest services and had them switch my brother in law and wife back to the correct rooms. No additional cheers purchase required at all and he kept the package on his S&S card with the move to the other room. All was good!

Correct, he can just switch to your room and they will not make him buy cheers. The easiest thing if you are really worried, is for him to just ask for the second key to your room (then they won't even know he is in it, just that he as access to it). But, I am sure if you actually have them switch rooms that would be fine too.

 

There are two ways to "switch". One is the person simply asks for a door only key so they can access the room, (they have their normal sail and sign card and then a key that just opens the other rooms door). Or you can actually switch guests in the room by telling them that they want to switch rooms, and they do just that and issue a whole new sail and sign card for each person that only gives them access to their new room (and no second card to carry).
