CarnivalBoy Posted March 18, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 18, 2014 One of our guests backed out at the last minute. Our cruise is on Sunday (March 23rd). Do we need to call and delete the guest from our booking or just leave it? Brett Bennett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPfromCT Posted March 18, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yes. Don't say a word. Definitely let them be a no show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freckles_51 Posted March 19, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yes. Don't say a word.Definitely let them be a no show. ....unless the one that backed out has insurance coverage for the reason for cancelling...in that case you need documentation from Carnival to show the cancellation charges etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pansieFL Posted March 19, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I hope they are out the money and not you! I was just thinking that! Of course we don't know the reasons the person can't go. I totally agree - let the person be a no show and still enjoy your cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarnivalBoy Posted March 19, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Good idea, but I think I'll just let it be us. Are they gonna change my room when we get there because we don't have the 4th person? According to the website, they only have balconies left on the 6th floor. We have one on the 9th floor. Will they let us keep our 9th floor balcony? Thanks. Brett Bennett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Bennett They shouldn't change anything.....if they ask at check in say they are supposed to be there later. You are not responsible for making excuses for your no show. Just board the ship and everything's good......: Enjoy your cruise (sorry you are out the money) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonit964 Posted March 19, 2014 #14 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Nope… it's me out the money. That is a bummer! So sorry that happened. You have a great attitude about it. As the other posters advised, if they ask at check in, just say they are boarding later. Wishing you an awesome cruise!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamthesea Posted March 19, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) I thought that all guest in the same stateroom have to check in together? Does your friend realize that you will not be getting money back for their cancellation? Edited March 19, 2014 by Iamthesea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnivalBoy Posted March 19, 2014 Author #17 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I don't think that all have to check in together… you can print individual boarding passes.

PDXJAS Posted March 19, 2014 #21 Share Posted March 19, 2014 One of our guests backed out at the last minute. Our cruise is on Sunday (March 23rd). Do we need to call and delete the guest from our booking or just leave it? Brett Bennett Do not cancel before the cruise, just have them be a no show at the port. My cousin had to pay when she had to cancel a guest. They needed 2 in a cabin. Lost the fare paid for the canceled guest and then had to pay again for a 2nd person in the cabin. You will get the taxes and port fees back plus tips, if already pre-paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6uqqq Posted March 19, 2014 #22 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Don't feel too bad Carnivalboy. My daughter and her bf backed out leaving me with 2 people in a 4 person room. So instead of a total loss I offered my friend the two berths for only the cost of the port fees, name change, and tips. So he is getting to go with his gf for a mere 400 bucks with me and gets the benefit of the super bowling alley balcony! Life goes on :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBoss Posted March 19, 2014 #23 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Nope… it's me out the money. I take it that you paid for the person who backed out? It's easy for a person to back out when they don't have any of their own money involved. Too bad you are now paying for an empty bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Name Of The Game Posted March 19, 2014 #24 Share Posted March 19, 2014 How nice of you that you were paying for the person to begin with. If they don't have an important reason for backing out, they're being very inconsiderate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1313steve Posted March 19, 2014 #25 Share Posted March 19, 2014 After you settle into your cabin, you'll probably be glad the fourth person backed out. Four in a cabin is really, really tight unless you are in a large suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
