Ability to change names on tickets

[rdrseller]

My mother is dealing with cancer (within last month) and is just not going to be strong enough to go on our cruise in September. Does anyone know if Carnival will allow them to give their cruise away to someone else?

 

We hate to lose the funds an no one get to enjoy the room. And NO she did not purchase the cruise insurance....

 

Thanks for any help.

It depends on how the cruise was booked.

 

If she booked Early Saver, the rules are very strict about no name changes. If she cancels at this point she would get a 50% credit (minus a $50 penalty) to be used within 2 years, but it would be given back to her in the form of an OBC not to be used for paying for a future cruise.

 

If she is booked under a rate code that allows name changes then it's just a $50 fee to do so.

 

I'm sorry that she isn't feeling up to a cruise right now, hopefully there will be better times soon.

Prayers for your Mom. I am hoping that Carnival will work with you for a positive outcome.

They cannot sell their cruise to someone else. On most fares, you can chang out all but one of the original guests on the booking. But one of the original guests must sail. EM

Just to clarify, the credit that Carnival holds for canceling an Early Saver booking can be used toward the cost of a future cruise, it just cannot be used towards the deposit of the cruise. I had a credit from a previous cruise I cancelled and it was applied to my current one.
