Early saver change name?

[mistyinca]

Can a cruise that is fully paid for on Early saver (but before payoff date) have a name swapped out? is there a penalty?

 

Thanks,

yes there is a penalty..its about 49-50 dollars

I had to do it under ES a few years ago. It was easy enough and, as Shof stated, the cost was $50.

Unfortunately everything under ES costs money except upgrading. Best thing to do with ES is not put in any names on the cruise docs until the last minute when you have to. That way if things change there's nothing you have to change online.

ES rules say no name changes. I wish you luck finding someone who will do that for you.

Carnival is very inconsistent in their rules, I have done name changes with ES a few times over the years.

What about changing last names? Same cruiser but my girlfriend will have her maiden name back by the time we cruise and all her official docs will be in that name as well

That's why I wished OP luck. I hope that it works out for them.

I was able to do a name change with ES last year. I was unable to do a planned cruise with my boys and put my mom's name in my place. It cost $50.

I was informed yesterday that no name changes allowed under ES.

You can only hope for the best because the restrictions don't allow for name changes.

My TA let me know when I was booking that this was not allowed. WOuld be interesting to hear if they let the OP do it or not.

In your case, with a complete change of the 2nd passenger, the penalty will be equal to the amount of the deposit. If for example it was a 7 day cruise with a $250 deposit, a $50 fee will be assessed and a $200 Future Cruise Credit will be issued in the name on the credit card used for the deposit. This FCC is good for 2 years and can not be used on your current sailing.

 

You will then have to pay in full the current prevailing rate for the 2nd passenger.

With so many varied accounts and stories here, you'd be better off calling Carnival directly and stating your case. If the person on the phone can't help, call back a few times. Some reps are more flexible than others, for some odd reason.
