okay, I was wondering if the following would be okay:

my family consists of two adults, three minors. If I were to book a suite for one adult an interior room for one adult and three kids, would it be okay if the family all stayed in the suite? Would that be illegal in cruise terms? or do they really care who stays where as long as everything is paid for?

  1. True that they do care where you sleep however I would tell the cruise line how many people and their ages for 2 reasons;

    1. why pay for something you are not going to use.

    2. incase of an emergency you are assigned lifeboats according to your cabin number. Wouldn't you want your family together ?

    An average cabin will sleep 4 adults and I have been on many cruises with families of 4,5 & 6 all staying in one cabin.

    After all you have to give the names & ages anyhow be honest & safe & ENJOY.

  3. You will not be able to do the booking exactly the way you have stated it because each cabin MUST be booked on a double occupancy basis and each cabin must have at least one person booked in it who is 21 years of age or older.  On the other hand, you you can book any two members of your family in the suite and the other three in the interior cabin BUT you must have at least one adult BOOKED in each cabin.

    Then, the matter of where people sleep is not a problem because no one is going to come around and check to see who and how many are sleeping in the suite.  The cruise line does not care and the room steward is the only one who may notice since that person will clean the room.  In fact, I would just tell the steward who will be using what and explain that its because there are minor children.

    NOW THAT SAID, why not just see if the cruise ship you are interested in has family cabins, OR ask if there is a suite that will accommodate all 5 of you.  Some ships do have family cabins that are larger than normal cabins.  Another option would be to book two balcony or outside cabins that have an adjoining door so then you will have two cabins but not have to enter the hallway to go between them.  Many of the newer ships do have these adjoining cabins and you have to ask your travel agent or look at the key on line to identify them.

  4. This summer my family is going on a 6 day 5 night cruise. We have a connecting room. They are two separate rooms (one a suite and one a standard). There is a door between them.  There is a virtual tour of it at

  5. You need to book the cruise with one adult and two children in the suite.  And one adult and one child in the interior room.  That will get you the best price.  And you can all use the suite, without any problems.
