Splendor and Pride questions....

[cruzegirl]

I need to know some info. about these 2 ships. A couple of friends from work and myself are thinking of doing a cruise to Mexico in 2009 on either the Pride or the Splendor. They each have a child, one of them is 2 and the other 10. To keep costs down, I thought we would just get a suite and share versus 2 room and the costs. Does the Splendor or Pride have a suite that will accommodate 5 in a room? And would a 2 year old be charged a fare? I'm not sure how it works with kids. I know the 10 y/o will be considered a regular person.... Thanks.

Yes the 2 year old will be charged regular fare. You may check, we looked into this once, and the 3rd, 4th and 5th passenger rates in a suite were higher, then just booking regular cabins for all of us. Plus, sharing one bath can be crazy.

 

I thought the Spendor was replacing the Pride. I can be wrong, I frequently am!

 

Have a great cruise.

I don't think the newer ships will accommodate 5 in a cabin (suite or not), only the older ships have been grandfathered in to hold 5 (Fantasy class for sure). It's some kind of Coast Guard rule.

Hmmm..... Ok...... Makes it tough to have an adult/child in one cabin financially.... May re-think this... lol....

Splendor replaces the Pride on March 29, 2009. We are taking the Pride to her new home in Miami. 14 glorious days of being on my favorite class ship. :D Not sure about the occupancy on the suites. I would contact Carnival and ask.

Only ships in service before 1999 can have 5 in a room. I think Triumph is the "newest" one being it entered in 1999. Splendor is launching this summer so 4 to a room max. Also the 2 year old is just considered another passenger. No breaks based on age - except the senior discount I keep hearing about :)

We have booked the Pride for the Mexican Riviera in June. Since there are 5 of us (our 3 boys are 14, 11, and 3), we had to book 2 inside cabins next door to each other.
