Worried about rooms be to far away

[marv]

Hi to you all

I have been given a deluxe state room with veranda and a deluxe ocean view room. My children aged 12,12,14 will be staying in the ocean view room. I have booked this cruise through our travel agents. Ime a little worried that they will put my children on a completly different deck. I have looked at the ship decks and it seems that deck 6,7 are the only 2 decks that we could be together. The thing is i dont want them on a seperate deck from me or at the other end of the ship.
Has any one had this similar problem.

Marv,

When is your cruise? For our DCL cruise earlier this month, we hand picked our rooms at the time we booked so that we got the exact location (and rooms) we wanted. If I were you, I would ask your travel agent to contact DCL and ask that they assign your rooms ASAP.

Good luck, Marv!

Your cruise is far enough in the future that you shouldn't have a problem. We also booked thru a travel agent so I know it can be done. I actually got out the map and requested certain combinations of rooms that we'd like and we were lucky enough to get our first choice... this was 15 months before sailing.

Two other points - I didn't look at the deck plan before replying, but maybe there are connecting staterooms for the two categories you booked? Also, you must have at least one adult booked into each stateroom (over 18), so don't assume they will put them right next to each other on the premise that the children need to be close to the adults, since as far as the TA and DCL know, there is an adult in each......

Now that is different imformation than our ta told me. She said that 1 room was for myself and husband and the other was for the children.

I had a situation where we booked 2 Cat. 12's. There are 5 of us (DH, myself, DD, DS, MIL). To save my MIL from paying the extra $$$ for a single in a cabin, our TA booked our reservation with 3 in 1 room & 2 in another room.

Well we did get upgraded to Cat. 10's, but each of our rooms only sleep 3 people. Therefore, the 4 of us cannot sleep in 1 room, someone will have to sleep with my MIL. I am not very happy about that. I just assumed that the rooms would sleep 4.

Also, we are on opposite sides of the ship (I knew there was no guarantee that we would be together, but we did have our reservations linked & the same last name). You would think Disney would take that into consideration.

Once you get on board, you can sleep anywhere you want, but the reservation will need to have an adult in each room. You need to make sure your TA books your rooms firm and gives you a room number. She should be able to get that info from DCL at the time of booking. There are very few combinations of rooms in your categories that are next door to each other so it's possible, but if you don't insist up front that they be together, DCL won't notice on their own. To give yourself more flexibility and more combination options, you might want to consider the verandah room and a standard inside stateroom. You could easily book those two rooms across the hall from each other.

I would definitely get your TA to confirm the room #'s at the time of booking to protect yourself from being separated too far from each other.
