cabin assingment suggestions

[luvemcruzes]

My Problem Is I Have A Teenage Son And 3 Of His Friends Wanting To Go On A Cruise But They Have To Be In A Cabin With Me Because They Are All Under 21. My Son Is The Only One Allowed In A Cabin By Himself (because He Has His Guardian On Board)but He Has To Pay Single Premium.......the Glory Will Only Allow 4 To A Cabin........they Do Not Have Any Other Suggestions Other Than Adding Another 21+ To The Group So That We Can Split Up 3 And 3 , But No One Is Available........any Suggestions Other Than Paying The Single Supplement

Actually, you would need someone 25 in that cabin...

 

Could you switch to an older ship that allows 5 in a cabin?? You really are going to need another adult if not... I can't think of anyway around that :(

Well, once on the ship you can effectively split up 3+2. The solo supplement may be a wash or even a savings if you find a cruise with a discounted 3rd and 4th person fare.

 

The other suggestion: don't take the friends. :D Or, tell them they need to recruit one of their parents/uncles/teachers/random stranger if they want to go. It isn't as if you can realistically supervise 4 teens on a ship for a week all by yourself anyway.

I just booked yesterday on the Valor, since they are joining rooms we didnt need someone older in the other cabin . You might want to look into that possiblility?

Are the people in the other cabin your kids??

Aside from the cabin issue, I'd hate to think I had to supervise four teenage boys on a cruise:eek:...especially three who weren't my own. What a responsibility, because you surely can't keep an eye on them at all times. You're either very brave or very naive`. Good luck.

HEY THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.....WILL DEFINATELY CALL CARNIVAL ON THIS ONE, THANKS.

AND GEEZ GUYS, ALL NAIVITY ASIDE THANKS FOR THE CONCERN ABOUT ME TAKING 4 TEENAGERS, BUT THERE IS NO NEED, THEY ARE ALL TERRIFIC KIDS........

I'd be curious about how the one that isnt yours is booked? is she 21? anyone in the cabin 21 or over?

 

I was not able to do that as the kid wasnt mine. (he was 19) had to book in a cabin with me but since I wanted an aft cabin that only holds 2 people we couldnt do that so the kid couldnt go.

Weren't we all? :D

Weren't we all? :D

 

mmmmmm.....yup!

 

I overheard my "terrific kid" on the phone with her cousin this evening discussing the wonderful ,tasty, strong drink that someone gave her at a party last night...she is off on the Legend for Thanksgiving with her father and I am nervous already!

 

To the O.P....this cabin thing can be tricky. It is true that on older ships (fantasy class, Destiny Class and Triumph Class) you can have 5 in a cabin. The Glory is a Conquest Class and this is not possible. As a single parent I HAVE been able to book to cabins (not adjoining) with only one person (me) being over the age limit BUT I was the parent. I would check with your TA on this.
