Dumb question! But are you able to "downgrade"??

Hello all,

 

Myself and my partner are booked on a cruise in September, one of his friends who was going with us and booked a room solo, has ran into some money issues! She has booked a balcony room on Lido deck just as we have, but she called to ask if she can downgrade to a interior cabin, she was advsied this would result in a 500$ fee? Is that correct? She has the balance paid in full for the cruise, but just needs to try to save some, any suggestions? I figured with it being this far out, she would be able to just change and get the difference credited back or atleast get OBC for the difference.

 

Thanks a bunch!

If the friend is booked ES, the answer is no. It would have to be cancelled and rebooked and all that other stuff. Not sure about the $500 ... is this the nonrefundable deposit?? If you are before final payment and not ES, should not be a issue.

 

If you booked ES, almost every change is a huge issue.

She did indeed book early saver along with with us!! I think the 500$ is what we would have to pay for a deposit, but we went ahead and paid as well as her!! Thanks so much!!

In ES the deposit is non refundable. There is a $50 processing fee but the remain $450 can be used to book another cruise but not on the same sail date and ship as the orginally booked.
