Please help me understand OBB logistics

[kim_o]

Can someone please help/explain. I'm feeling dense, but don't want to keep bugging the travel agent during this crazy week. I just got off my first disney 7 day cruise. We were a party of 11, and we put a place holder deposit down for 9 of the people on the cruise. The person on the boat separated it into 2 rooms. When pricing out the rooms, it was much cheaper to get 3 interior rooms vs. the 2 family verandas. But now I can't get the OBB for the 3rd room? The booking person on the cruise didn't explain that. Just that each person would get the OBB. Also, the TA split the party oddly (cousin with father in law in one room, my husband and his mother in another with two kids, and me with 3 kids). She has said that she can't move the party around because we would lose the OBB on one room. If we were all on the cruise - (and they will only give me an OBB for 2 rooms) why does it matter who is in what room? I'd like to have my husband and I in one room with 2 kids my cousin in a room with 2 kids, and then my inlaws in their own room. If I call Disney can they adjust it? Or what am I not understanding about this OBB?

Onboard bookings are maxed at 2 rooms for a future cruise per home address on a current cruise. If you book 2 rooms onboard, you can't add additional rooms and still get the OBB perks for additional rooms booked later.

Onboard booking perks only apply to reservations/rooms booked while onboard the ship.

I believe you can switch around the names on the reservations that you do have, as long as one name on each reservation remains the same.
