No Funship for Families of 5!
Thinking of taking a Carnival Cruise with 3 young children? Think Again. Did you know that Carnival policy limits families to 4 guests per room except for select rooms on the three Destiny-class ships? Sorry parents, if you are looking for the perfect family getaway and you have 3 young children or god forbid infant triplets, it's 2-rooms for you $$$$$
I tried to book a category 12 suite on the Carnival Valor with my wife and 3 extremely young children....Nope...can't do it because of company policy. I just want to put 1 kid on the floor and 2 on the pull out. I've been on the Destiny-class ships. I am tired of Peurto Rico and St. Thomas and Jamaica.
Royal Caribbean here I come!

You are correct. A family of five is somewhat difficult. However, there are a few ships that will work for you with Carnvial and Celebrity. Give me a call at 800-662-5450, ext 108 and I will be happy to work through the options for you. Pat.

Wow, this sounds just great, we were actually making plans for a little escapade and this offer is perfect timing for us. I just hope it's not to late and there is still available space for me and my family.
