No show vs Single Occupant

[bitsnscraps]

We have a group sailing in January with 6 cabins together. One of our cabins has 2 booked in it right now but only 1 is going to be able to go now. We are on the Lido deck which is now sold out, if we cancel the extra person will we lose that room and have to move? Should we keep her on and have her do a no show? They aren't excited to pay upfront for taxes, port fees, cheers ect and have to wait for a refund, but I was under the impression if you take them out of the room they could lose their room.

They will not loose the room.

 

Do the people have insurance?

[hftmrock]

if you take them out of the room, the single occupant might now have to pay the single supplement which could amount to double the price so you potentially could pay more.

 

what rate do you book under and as the previous poster asked, do you have insurance

[RuthlessBoss]

Who is actually going to pay that person's fare? Is it the original person who isn't going? Or will the remaining occupant be paying? Someone has to pay that empty bed if you want to keep the cabin.

Agree one person in room would have to pay double. Port taxes would be refunded with a no-show.

Cheers can be booked on the ship so no need to pre-pay.

They do not have insurance and ate booked with early savers on a promo rate that has some obc. The person that is going is planning on paying everything (it's a family trip and they have split up). She knows the single rate is pretty much the same as both of them going, though we booked on a killer rate, similar cabin on the deck below right now is over $500 more. Would she lose that rate?

Rate will be the same. Best not to cancel, keep as a no show. Fill in the information as if he/she was going to avoid penalty fees.

Ok, that's right. I knew there was a big reason to keep them on. She'd be paying the double rate either way plus the cancellation fee, so she'd end up paying more. Thank you!

No show.

[tandemcruzr]

No show.

If the cruise is in January, just have the other person cancel and rebook the single in as the third guest with one of the other cabins to avoid paying double the fare. Or have the single find someone else to go on the cruise. The person cancelling will only lose their $50 Early Saver fee, right? You should be well before final payment if the cruise is in January.

The CABIN costs the same, whether there are 1 or 2 in it....just depends who's paying, I guess!

You don't lose the room just have the other person as a no show.

Cancelling jeopardizes the cabin, the current rate, lose $50 per person, no name changes with ES. The cruiser is aware of double occupancy rate.

Dependent on what fare type you booked, whether they have insurance, and final payment date:

 

If you cancel one person in the cabin, the remaining passenger will likely be charged a solo supplement in addition to the fare already charged. If the person is a no-show, the other passenger in the cabin will not be charged a solo supplement.

 

They will not lose the cabin either way. You've already noted the wait for refund of taxes, port fees, and cheers if a no-show.

I would suggest leaving the person booked and be a no show. However, since it seems they like the idea of waiting on a refund, why not go ahead and cancel the CHEERS for the cabin and get that refund. The single occupant can then just purchase it on the ship.
