easyboy Posted December 6, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Yes, name changes are allowed before final payment without fee. There is a fee after the final payment date. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted December 6, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Make sure you have any documentation needed for taking your grandson. It is extremely important to have a medical release to allow you to obtain medical assistance. Princess will have other requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my dad is sick now. Rehab fir 28 days so may miss cruise on January 7. What about insurance. He is fully covered. Even for existing conditions as we purchased insurance when we booked a year ago. Would a name change still work for this situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted December 6, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 6, 2017 No charge before final payment. There used to be, and I assume there still is, a $50 charge to change a passenger after final payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would a name change still work for this situation I would strongly suggest contacting Princess directly or your TA if you have one. General information on the subject from the forums is, while helpful, not in any way definitive. You should have no problem changing the name and taking your grandson (lucky young man!) but please get "real" advice and guidance rather than depending on the folks here no matter how experienced they may be. Each situation is different and you want to be certain you have done everything properly. Enjoy your cruise and please convey our sympathy to your father.

satxdiver Posted December 6, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The OP definitely needs to contact Princess or the TA for the authoritative answer and to make the change. If she is sailing on January 7, the final payment has been made. While her father may be sad about missing the cruise, her DGS must be ecstatic for his good luck. Enjoy your cruise.

skynight Posted December 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 6, 2017 If your grandson is under 18 make certain you read all the fine print in the passage contract about traveling with minors, including the passport requirement if traveling with only one adult. There are also some requirements for passengers under 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
