Dirk Bogarde

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm in a similar situation. Carnival call centre agent seems quite happy to convert my deposit into future cruise credits, but forgot to ask about expiry dates and if I could use the credit as the second named person in the room (would like to apply any FCC to an existing booking where my wife is the lead name). Any experiences?

Have booked on Splendour for late this year and now want to move to a different date which suits other family members. Booked a cheap rate direct with Carnival Australia with a $150pp deposit. Online it looks like the only option is to cancel and lose the deposit - are there any alternatives? I'm a bit surprised I can't pay a change fee + fare difference like on a airfare. I see a couple of Australian online TAs state for Carnival cruises: "You are entitled to "one free change" to a different cruise under the following terms: 121 days or more prior to departure One free change to a different Carnival Cruise departing from Australia." My departure is more than 120 days out, would Carnival offer this for bookings made directly with them?
