I'm doing a planned no-show in November, since the fare for a solo was 3X the cost of 2 people together. I had fears of being caught, interrogated, and forced to pay the solo rate, but the people at the port are just scanning documents and don't care, and once I'm on the ship, what are they going to do, make me share a cabin with a deckhand? They should actually be happy, because my no-show sister is a chowhound cheapskate who would eat steak at every meal, whereas I enjoy pasta and Indian food. They'll also get more business from me if I can book for two, since by searching for cruises based on two people, I'll see more affordable fares than with a solo search. They'll also have to pay fewer commissions, since their website is convenient for booking for 2, but now impossible to search for a solo.
How did it work out. Did you purchase a drink package? What is the work around as the cruise line makes you purchase the same package for everyone of age in the cabin. Asking because I too plan on doing a planned no show as the current promo works out less when paying for 2, then a solo.
Thank you in advance for your input.
If there is a no show at the port?
