question about how many a room can sleep

I am booked on the valor, there are four guests total in our booking. today I was looking online to see if I could find any pictures of the cabin we have reserved and I noticed on a few sites it states it can sleep up to three people. Should I contact carnival to make sure? I mean they are the ones who have me booked so I'm assuming it's all fine. we have room 7263 if that helps any.

Thanks for the smile this morning. Since it's only the two of us, I've never thought of that option. But if my DH reads this, he may consider it to get the snoring moved away from him.Wink

To prevent tight quarters like this, we have booked an extra inside cabin just for the extra bathroom and space for getting ready, kinda of a "dressing room" of sorts, if you will. We use the pull out sofa and/or overhead bunk for sleeping so we're all together.

Select one on same deck as main/"real" cabin or directly above/below so quickly accessible by stairs.

These extra inside cabins have been free except for the port fees & taxes, but now that I've lost my casino rate discount, this next cruise will be the last where I'm able to do this.

So, thanks for the video and discussion - I will use them to mentally prepare for post-Feb non-casino bookings, lol.

Seriously, cabins can easily get "cozy" but unless you have an actual multi-room suite, you shouldn't have an expectation of elbow room - not on an ocean cruise.

No matter the amount of sleeping space, it will be tight when dressing and getting ready for the day. Imagine everyone in your bedroom and bathroom at home. It's doable, but...

I did not notice that the first time I watched the video. Weird.

Technically, it can be stated that this "suite" (it kills me that CCL actually uses that word in their marketing) would sleep four people. But it is my opinion that it would only fit four somewhat comfortably if it was a couple with [2] small children. I'm talking little kids, like the one in the video. Even pre-teens or teenagers would be a deal breaker, for me at least.

I'm wondering if the OP had chosen this cabin when booking or if it was "assigned" by CCL. If it was the latter, it's a great example of why I always choose my own cabin, and I do so after researching it (or at least one in the same category) prior to booking. Video's like this have saved me from booking regrets. I would rather pay the extra $$$ than get assigned a "suite" the size of a broom closet, or a cabin directly under the all night dance club. The same goes for the upgrades they offer after booking.

I hope you folks all get along...btw,,,why is the tub half full? inquiring minds...ummmm...somebody sleeps in it?

Here's a video I found of that "suite"

Cozy

That convertible sofa is a real joy...mebbe a couple kids could use it...mebbe. I think I'd be calling, but I'm not sure what you can do about it without spending a bunch on an upgrade...good luck.

Yep .. I would say you definitely need to speak to them. Anything I can see on this states that the room has,

Twin Bed/King and Single Convertible Sofa

According to the Carnival Valor deck plan on Carnival's website, room #7263 is an Ocean Suite with a maximum of 4 guests. " Two twin beds (convert to king) and double sofa bed. ."
