gingernm Posted January 9, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hi, 8 months until sail date, however my wife will not be travelling! I see from RCI website i can change a name on a booking, just need to know if there is a charge? Also could i just take a friend, male or female to share the cabin? I ask as I will still be travelling, taking my 2 teenage children (17 & 16), 2 cabins booked. Price for a triple is more expensive than the price we've paid for 2 cabins with 4 occupants, so no point in amending the booking that way. Thanks Rob.

billsgal Posted January 9, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You can change names on a reservation, as long as one of the original names remains. However, they may charge the prevailing rate....they used to just substitute the names, but the way things are changing, I am not sure of the pricing rules these days.

All rules seem to be different for a non USA booking. You'll need to call your agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken at the beach Posted January 9, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks for quick responses! Booked direct with RCI, if that makes any difference. :) Rob. It is quite probable that there will be a charge as you are in the UK. Wouldn't matter if it was through a TA or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTAngel Posted January 9, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I had a name change a few months ago. My issue was my DH was the reason for an accessible room. I changed his name to DS's & also requested a regular cabin (OV). There was no charge for these changes. The only increased charge happened when I requested a re-price because of the BOGOHO sale & that was only because the price had gone up on that category. In other words, instead of actually paying $600 less, I paid $450 less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trtrguy Posted January 9, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Just a side note. Since you will traveling with your kids without the other parent present, it will be best to bring a notarized letter from the other parent saying its ok for the trip.

Please come back and let us know how it goes, Rob. many of us know the UK rules differ, but do not know important details, like name changes.
