fitbit Posted October 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Can rooms for 5 be booked through Costco? Or do we need to individually call each cruise company? I found a couple that have their rooms of 5 online, but others don't seem to book anything past 4 online which seems very discriminatory. (I'm deaf so phone is not easy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm deaf so phone is not easy) Carnival allows guests to book rooms with occupancy for up to five guests. Since you did not specify which cruise line, I am not sure their specific rules.

fitbit Posted October 5, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Thanks and yes I found that Carnival and Norwegian are the only cruise ships where rooms for 5 can be booked online. RCL and Celebrity do have rooms for 5 but they only have online booking for rooms up to 4 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitkat343 Posted October 5, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Oh, I'm so sorry. I did know that for most of the cruise lines you need to call for more than 4 people but never thought about how hard that would be for some customers. Is there any chance you can contact the disability services office, and ask them to provide you with an email or forward your email to booking so you can try to book through email instead of speaking on the phone?

1025cruise Posted October 6, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I would assume a TA can also make a reservation for rooms with more than 4. But yes, these rooms are not in the general inventory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmaster Posted October 6, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) We almost always have been a family of 5 sometimes add a grandparent, but always do two rooms one double and one triple. We did splurge once for a suite on Disney and balcony several times on Princess, but in the end never found the value of that, YMMV. Oh, always thru Costco after some research still find them pretty good value. Edited October 6, 2019 by chipmaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted October 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Just call...it's not that hard! Just make sure you have the deck plans in front of you so you KNOW what you're paying for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP: I would email a TA and have them help with booking a larger room. I have the same issue booking a cruise as we are a family of 6. For our upcoming cruise we booked 2 rooms. I did it with an online TA because they had a better deal than the cruise line. I did find that HAL and maybe Princess would let you book 2 rooms in one booking so that would be a way to book as well if you decided to not go for 1 room. Everytime I've looked it's been cheaper to get 2 rooms versus one of the suites that sleep more people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat04 Posted November 4, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) I don't know if you found a solution but HALs 2 newest ships (and the one being presently built) have family ocean view cabins that accommodate 5 and they can be booked online. I just did a dummy booking to test it. Edited November 4, 2019 by fatcat04 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, she rarely reads the whole post and is a veritable treasure trove of misinformation. Meanwhile, I would also suggest checking into two connecting cabins. Often cheaper AND you get two bathrooms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intr3pid Posted November 17, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 17, 2019 We have booked Disney's and NCL's larger rooms through Costco's website for our family of five in the past. Yes - it's frustrating having to make two calls and wait for each for something this simple - even if you can hear well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
