I did confirm with agent on phone that the current booked room can add a 4th kid for free. Only additional fee added to room would be taxes for child. Family friend is an agent for RC. She said shouldn’t be an issue. Book the double occupancy room and get on triple occupancy waitlist. Alot of times people don’t finish making payments and rooms open up. 1 month prior, book child in friends room if needed. Seems like a pretty fair plan. Still interested to know how a child gets on and off cruise with another adult other than their parents. Same goes for entering and exiting kids club. I know families don’t all get off boat every time with kids. Grandma, uncle, cousin, and adults not in same room must take kids on and off all the time.

I have a unique scenario that I am hoping someone might have some insight or advice on. I believe I have thought through everything and have been on a handful of cruises myself. There are no triple occupancy rooms available for a cruise my friend, his wife, and their 11 year old have booked. There is a ton of double occupancy rooms. Because they already have a triple occupancy room booked, a 4th child can be added to their room for just the taxes. I would just have to pay my friend the taxes incurred for child. I would then let our 6 year old daughter either sleep in the bed with us or on the couch in our room. She won't need her own key to the room as she won't ever be by herself. I know I can get an extra key no matter what though. She shouldn't need to charge anything to a room because she is free. Anything that would need to specifically be charged to her card for any kids activities I can also just send money to my friend. Then it was suggested to add my name to the waitlist for a triple occupancy room and there's a good chance it could become available. It is still 6 months out. I want to ensure I don't inconvenience my friend and family for even one single thing on their first cruise because of how I am attempting to approach this. Am I not thinking something through here? Like entering and exiting the boat will it be required that she is present with the adults listed in her room. If we are in Nassau and they want to come back on board earlier than we would like to, will it be required that the adults listed in my daughters room must be present when my daughter comes back on boat. The sad part of this is people usually go through something like this to save a buck or two. This is solely so I can confirm a spot on the boat for my family and it'll still cost the same. Thanks in advance for any opinions or advice.
