Shaded Lady Posted August 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2017 It depends on what type of fare you selected, and when you're leaving. If you booked with Carnival, call them and ask. If you used a travel agent, call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnorris10 Posted August 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Here is a couple of questions - Are you booked Early Saver? When is your cruise supposed to leave out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springs741 Posted August 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Technically you don't change cruise dates. You cancel your cruise and book a different cruise. As other have said rate code is a factor as is if you have reach final payment date. After final payment date you have entered penalty phase. Call Carnival, you PVP or your TA, however you booked and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalaDragonflyLady Posted August 27, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Give Carnival a call, only they can answer based on the rate you booked, etc. I have done this about three times and they charged me $50 for changing, but I got a $50 onboard credit each time.

S.S.Oceanlover Posted August 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Question....will i lose my deposit if i need to change and rebook a different cruise for personal reasons, thanks If you are talkng about your cruise on April 2018 then the answer is no but if you booked early saver you will be charged $50pp when you cancel that cruise and the rest of your deposit would be held towards a future cruise. They say you would have to put down a new deposit and the credit you have will be applied towards your final balance. I have done this a couple times and found that if i called and canceled and booked a new cruise while on the same call they applied the credit towards my new deposit and i only had to come up with another $100 that they charged as administrative fees.

hftmrock Posted August 27, 2017 #10 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Thanks for your reply Bill..yes, it's for April 2018...We booked EARLY SAVER when the deposit was only 49.00...change would take place MONTHS before final payment due. Guess we shall find out ... if you paid a reduced deposit then if you change and they are not giving a reduced deposit you will have to paid the full deposit immediately so if you paid 49.00 deposit you would have to pay the 50$ penalty and then possibly pay the full deposit which could be hundreds. keep that in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaShelle2 Posted August 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Do you have a PVP? A good one can have their supervisor waive the 50 penalty. Speaking from personal experience. In my situation, I was changing to a different ship and rebooking immediately after cancelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted August 28, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I had to change a cruise due to an accident that my DH had. I called and explained my situation and the first person said I could cancel but I would lose my deposit and they would give me 600 back and I would lose 500. and to reapply the money it would cost us 300.00. I said I would discuss it with my DH. We did, and we knew his health would not be good enough to travel when the cruise was going to be, so we called, and talked to another Carnival rep, and she said don't say cancel, say "change" if you have not paid in full. She used all the monies we had paid, got us a five day cruise and put the rest of the money on a future cruise that we had booked several months ago. And I didn't have to come up with any money, so it really depends on who you get when you call. Change, not cancel was the key. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abby1257 Posted September 10, 2017 Author #13 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Thanks everyone for your replies. "Change" is key! Will use that word. Actually prob won't be disappointed if we change our cruise as we chose this cruise for St. Maarten stop and that doesn't look like it will happen even in April.
