New to cruising! Question on reservations

[junior8]

Hi everyone,

 

I was on a cruise years back on the old lady Sovereign of the Seas. It was fun, but I was sick. :( Not seasick - I had pneumonia came to find out.

 

Anyway, I am looking into taking my niece as a graduation present on Explorer next June. Her father has not given me the OK yet and he is hesitant. I am wondering if I book it and he says no would I be able to change to another person or drop a passenger and cruise single? I am aware of the 200% for cruising single. But I am determined to get back on a ship even if I go alone.

Give him the link to the CC boards. After al the great information he will read he will have all his questions answered and probably won't hesitate. What a great graduation gift.

You should be able to change cabin mates up to final payment. Whatever you do you are best off delcaring two, or more if thats the case, rather than 1 in a cabin. it is easiser to drop than add.

You are able to change names on a reservation as long as one name remains on the reservation. In your case, a double cabin, you can change your nieces name or drop it, even after final payment.

 

For those booking a quad, they can change 3 names on the reservation.

 

I hope your niece is able to cruise with you. Good Luck!

Heck, for a fee, you can change the other name on the reservation up to about 72 hours before sailing.

Thank you for the replies. I feel more at ease now knowing I can change passengers. Now just to decide when to book it.
