  My friend and I are traveling together and would like to share a room but need 2 separate beds. Could a note be made somewhere on our reservation indicating this?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written February 2023
  You will be assigned a twin share room if you're booked on the same reservation. If you're booked on separate reservations, we need a room-sharing request from both of you, and we can link your booking.
