		<description>I am sure that you are right. I thought people who worked on the ship were also considered &lt;em&gt;passengers&lt;/em&gt; of that ship. Considering that there &lt;em&gt;were&lt;/em&gt; a ton of small children on board, the math still does makes sense, though, in my opinion.

Valor has 1,487 total staterooms. At double occupancy (most common), that adds up to their stated passenger capacity of 2,974. So how does one account for all of the children on board? Obviously children ages 4-10 don&#039;t sleep alone in their own stateroom, which means that the 3364 number could, in fact, be accurate for non-crew passengers. Some cabins can sleep four or five guests in one room. </description>

		<description>I think that you are most likely mistaken. They would be breaking Maritime law if they sold beds that didnt exist, or if they sold beds above their advertised limits. They would be risking the chance of fines and shut downs. Carnival isn&#039;t willing to risk that, I am sure. Maybe &quot;Kris&quot; was regarding the crew as well as the passengers.</description>
