bdchili Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 Ok, I know the official RCCL response, "It is up to the specific ship"....So I am hoping someone on here can help me out. We are heading out on the Oasis, March 8th, I have a family of 5 booked in a Grand Suite that connects to a Balcony Stateroom. We are one family and booked together, so will the two people (kids) in the stateroom have the same privileges as the others in the suite? I am not sure if it really matters or not, but pool side, shows...etc. I understand at times the percs of the suite come in handy.

Bryce G. Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 How old are the "kids" in the stateroom? By RCCL policy, the kids (under 18) can't be in the stateroom on their own... I presume they're all on the same reservation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdchili Posted February 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Bryce, I was always under the same impression until recently. I spoke to RCCL and as long as the rooms are connecting you can have children booked in a separate room. We have cabins 7260(GS) &7262(D4), our group consitss of two adults and 3 children 13,10,& 9. The GS sleeps 3 and the D4 sleeps 2, so we have placed two of our kids are in the D4. We have two reservation numbers, becasue that is required with multiple rooms but they are tied together. What I am curious about is if anyone knows about Oasis specific policy on family members and concierge benefits i.e. pool chairs etc. This cruise is during Texas spring break and pretty sure it is close to full.

Marc Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Right... Royal Caribbean's policy does permit kids to be in a connecting stateroom. I've sailed that way many times with my boys. No Guest younger than the age twenty-one (21) will be assigned to a stateroom unless accompanied in the same stateroom by an adult twenty-one (21) years old or older. A guest's age is established upon the first date of sailing. This age limit will be waived for children sailing with their parents or guardians in connecting staterooms; for underage married couples; and for active duty members of the United States or Canadian military.

Marc Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 While I've never been in the situation you're in, from what I've read, suite-level privileges would not be extended to your kids. They'll have the regular blue SeaPass cards and you'll have gold ones. Without the gold SeaPass cards for your kids, they wouldn't be permitted into the suite-guest-only areas.

Officially that is correct. In reality, I think they could likely slide in provided someone with a gold pass escorts them. Often they just need to see a gold card and not every gold card.

bdchili Posted February 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 BTW, I got an answer about connecting rooms, with one being a suite. Here is the concierge reply to my email to them yesterday..."Although the Concierge Services, amenities and reserved areas for suite guests are exclusively for guests with Gold SeaPass cards only (suite guests), we will make sure we can accommodate the rest of you family as well."Needless to say I am impressed with their quick response and obviously with thier willingness to work to accommodate my families needs. Its gonna be a good week! Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking into reserving a similar connecting rooms for an upcoming cruise in August ( 2 adults/2 kids total in Grand Suite connecting to Superior Room). Was RCCL able to extend suite amenities to everyone in your family when you travelled in March? Did you experience any issues? Thanks for the info.
