We’ll be going on the Carnival Celebration in September from Miami. Flying in the day before taking the hotel shuttle to our hotel. I’m planning our transportation to the port the day of and also the disembarkation. We’re a family of 5 each with large suitcases and a carry on. Most Ubers or Lyfts can’t accommodate the suitcases so we’ll have to get 2. Just wondering if a taxi might be more cost effective. However I found this shuttle company that charges $10 pp each way not including tax. I’m a bit skeptical though since I haven’t heard much of anyone using them.

I just wanted to update everyone. I just spoke to the casino department who would actually be the ones to change the everything since it’s a casino offer. The original Carnival representative was completely wrong. Not only was there a $169 fee to remove the gf there was a fare increase and a substantial one at that. We ended up paying $700 more and they chose the least of the OBC promos because they said that’s the only one that it could accommodate. The whole situation gave me a headache.

So did just that, thank you for the advice. The rep said there would be a $169 fee to remove the gf and they could use my son’s casino rate instead. There’s no fare increase and forfeit any fare credit also there’s a decrease in OBC since the gf had a lot more. She could be more definitive if and when we change it. Also they would’ve had to change rooms to a 2 person instead of 3 if the cruise wasn’t fully booked.

My pvp is no longer with the company and neither is our casinos host. My absolute worst fear is I get a rep who’s not familiar on how to make changes and he or she accidentally releases the room to rebook and someone snatches it right at that moment. We’ve actually had that happen. That’s kind where my hesitation is in contacting them. The cruise is fully booked no rooms available for 2, 3 or 4 guests.

My son’s gf had a better casino rate and obc which was why they booked under her name. The cruise is fully booked there are absolutely no rooms available since the cruise is in a couple weeks. His casino promos for other cruises aren’t too bad if they were to base it on that to reprice. I’m just hoping they’ll be able to board. We don’t mind paying the difference. I’m always concerned when carnival makes changes they have to release the room to rebook the room then someone might snatch it. We have 3 other staterooms so his 19 year old friend should be ok since a couple of us are oldies but goodies in our forties.

My son is 22 and his friend is 19 however none of them bought the travel insurance. We have 3 other staterooms as this is a family trip. We were just wondering if anyone’s been through this recently.

I’m in need of a recent answer. I’ve seen past posts precovid but nothing recent. Has anyone been in a situation or know of, that if the main guest doesn’t show would the other’s get to board. My son’s gf has the stateroom booked in her name casino rate but she can’t go, my son and his friend are in the same room. It’s fully paid for.
