I need help from more experienced cruisers...

[Cruzzinagain]

Carnival called and emailed me today and said that they would give me two cabins side by side for $190.00 more than my single interior cabin with four berths. I've been thinking about upgrading anyway and if they are in a bind this could work in my favor. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Hi Steve, if there are 4 of you, I would jump on it, there will be more room and 2 showers.

An extra bathroom alone is well worth the $190 - go for it! You'll be so much more comfortable. And there will be fewer casualties ;)

Do you know exactly which cabins they are switching you to? If you do, and you are OK with location (check deck plans for what is above/below you) then no doubt about it - go for it!

 

I'm not sure how this works, but if they are effectively putting you in the position of having two "guaranty" connecting cabins, there is the possibility that you could end up with cabins in a less than desirable location.

 

I've NO experience with this, just my thoughts...Hopefully, someone else who has had this situation will be more helpful....

 

Enjoy your cruise!

What Dan said.

 

In spades.

Great deaL!! Do it!!

[loungelizard]

I'd probably do it even if it was in a less than desirable location because I am never in my cabin anyway... and one bathroom for 4 people will really slow things down...sounds like a potentially sweet deal.

[LHP]

I would do it only if the "new" cabins are in a location I would like. I am more "location" picky and if that matters to you, be sure to take it into consideration.

Extra bathroom go for it. There were 5 of us in a cat 12 on the triumph. We could have used another bathroom thats for sure

[aggieastrosfan]

I'd take it in a heartbeat. Not only for the extra bathroom, but just for the extra space in general. There isn't a whole lot of walking room with 2 people, let alone 4.

 

Then again, I'm one of those that's not too picky on location

Nike: Just do it. :D

Be kind of a dumb offer if they were only 2. ;)

 

 

Do it, you will be glad you did.

[caribbean dreams]

why even ask, What are you waiting for?? except the offer already.

 

I wish someone would have offered that to me when we were cruising with 4 in a cabin.

Steve--were you booked in a guarantee to begin with, or did you have a cabin assignment? If you had a cabin assigned, why would they call you "out of the blue"? I'm just curious because I have an assigned cabin for our Freedom cruise with 4 of us in it, and I would love it if Carnival just called and offered me a second room:D .

Don't give Wendy any ideas :D She would book a separate room so that she wouldnt have to put up with my Soring LOL.:)

Steve,

I got the same deal from Carnival for my upcoming cruise. I know where my cabins are located, and although I haven't sailed it yet, I think we'll be fine. We have 4 sharing two adjoining cabins with 2 bathrooms, 2 t.v.'s and all that extra space all for $200 more. It sounded worth it to me and I went for it. I think you should too.
