All you have to do is book you and a child then husband and a child in each room them just put both kids in the one room and have your room stewart make your bed into a king...see it done all the time.

Enjoy!

Thanks--are we able to do that with our boys only being 6 and 3? Like I said we are new to Carnival cruising. If so that sounds like a fabulous idea we have been a little concerned about privacy.

Tina, I would consider booking two rooms with connecting doors would save you some money and give you and your husband some privacy too. Enjoy!

This is our first cruise with Carnival in November on the Fanasty. We booked a suite because we are bring our boys along and did not know if we would have enough room for all 4 of us in a different room. I am hoping we can go on another cruise next October but maybe in a smaller (cheaper) room if we would could fit.

The suites might go down in price, but I doubt low enough for the Holiday as there are only 10 of them. I paid under $500 for this cruise and ended up on the Empress deck with a window...I doubt the suite will go low enough for me to be willing to upgrade.

so do the suites ever go down in price?

You call up your cruise month and destination on the Carnival site and view the prices for your exact cruise date and category. This (Sept 12) cruise has had a steady increase in price since mid June, can't tell you what your cruise is doing since I'm not involved, but THIS cruise (9/12) is probably close to full (except the suites which are way overpriced and still available).

what do you go on to watch the prices?

How do you watch the prices? We paid our deposit a while ago and are cruising in November.

Thanks

We also ended up on the Empress deck...so excited!!! We did the Early Saver so we saved over $500 for the category we ended up with plus OBC. Can't wait to go! My parents did the Balcony guarantee once and ended up on the highest level. I figure as long as you can't end up with obstructed view what do you have to lose?

We booked the OV guarantee and were assigned an OV on the Empress deck.

I had never done the guarantee before but with that 3 deck/category upgrade I'll definately try it again! To book the category we are assigned now would run $300.00 more than I paid!

WOO HOO!

We are 53 dates out and we already got our cabin assignment...we will be on the Empress deck for under $500....booking early for this trip really paid off. Went from Inside on the Rivera to Empress outside...totally cool especially since we are celebrating our 3rd anniversary...our first one together!!

Now we just have to wait to go....

Tigerllly we don't do excursions....we just get off the boat and walk. I'm not big into excursions..waiting for Christmas when it's the whole family to do the submarine one. I rather spend my money on stuff.

Alinflorida yes you can get OBC even after your final payment is made..I did on this trip and got two upgrades. Now I am just waiting to see what cabin I am assigned to. I booked this trip back in April not to long after we got back from another cruise. I book way ahead and then wait to see if my price drops or not. My April trip for next year has gone up $300....so I feel really good about that one!

I may be mistaken but I believe that Carnival has stopped giving refunds on price drops after you have made your final payment.Anyone know for sure?
