However, I would call your cruise line to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted March 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yes, the name needs to match with whatever id you have such as passport. Specifically first and last names. Most people who have a middle name do not list it on their cruise booking. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Middle names aren't important to the cruise line....rarely will one even fit on the form! But do book everything in the name on the ID you'll be using!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted March 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It should match. Not sure how strict they are. But even title should match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted March 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I do wish people would use titles that actually gave sme idea what their question was about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do book everything in the name on the ID you'll be using!!! I learned long ago to always have my air reservations and my cruise documents match my passport exactly. My passport has my middle name and all my bookings do as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted March 3, 2016 #8 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I do wish people would use titles that actually gave sme idea what their question was about. I agree. :) Something in the title of the thread a little more than 'question' gives a clue if it is something we want to bother reading. I am sure you know if you hover your cursor over the title, it will display a few words of the first sentence of the post. Sometimes it is enough to know you might or might not be interested in reading more. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I've got a computer back instead of relying on a tablet, I must remember. There are so many threads with titles that don't show that the person is Adkins about. I usually look at them, as it tends o indicate a newbie, and I try to help them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Yet is the operative word. I agree the chance of a problem boarding a cruise ship without your middle name as on your passport being on your cruise ticket is not a huge risk but nevertheless somewhat of a risk. It can be a big risk at an airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBGuy Posted March 3, 2016 #14 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Last summer two or three weeks prior to a cruise on Princess, I was reading a communication from Princess that said that the names on our travel documents must match the names on our passports. No problem, I thought. Oops, problem. I dug up my wife's passport and found that when I made the reservation, I mispelled her middle name. I called Princess, and it took about two minutes for the agent to change the spelling on the booking. Problem solved. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
