Muster Station

I booked our staterooms and it looks like the inside stateroom is in a different muster station than the verandah stateroom. Is it possible to get the muster station changed so we are all together?

No, the musters are fixed and assigned to each stateroom. They never change.

While I think it's possible that muster stations can change -- I think it is highly unlikely to be done on request by any given traveling party. Muster stations are based on occupancy - both stateroom occupancy and lifeboat occupancy - as well as location and route from the stateroom. Unlikely to modify just for one party/one time. The adults in your party will need to split as booked, and be responsible for the child(ren) also booked to the respective stateroom. If you really want to be in the same muster station, you might look into changing staterooms - you are locked into fares as of the date you initially booked.

Enjoy your cruise!

Muster stations do not change from cruise to cruise. They are permanently assigned to rooms - the station is printed on a plastic board behind the stateroom door and on other material - and would only change in an overhaul of room assignments, not on a case-by-case basis.

The booking system will prohibit a booking of going through if, by adding the guests, the muster station goes over capacity. Since they do not explain it during the booking process, many here report a bug with the site when they can get a cruise and stateroom to show up, then it says ‘no stateroom fits your party’s size’ when they confirm the party size. That’s usually based on the muster check (or the kids club capacity check). They will sail with empty staterooms to meet the muster requirements.
