Question reHusband Canceling

[balcap]

I know this is a question for my travel agent ( who I will call tomorrow) but they are closed this long weekend, so just wondering if anyone here might know the answer. We are scheduled to cruise on Oct 28th ( final payment already done) and have not purchased insurance.

 

Suddenly an unexpected problem with hubby's small business and he absolutely cannot leave for this cruise. My son is willing to escort me on this cruise( ie replace my husband )......does anyone know how complicated and costly this is to replace my son for my husband ? THANKS so much in advance for any info you may have........

if you book with early saver, they will be a 50 dollar fee

No it was not an early saver....it was actually a premiere casino offer

??? no one have had any experience with this happening ? Thx so much

ALL I KNOW is ...I have asked this question many times and get different answers every time. I read that if you book EARLY SAVER....or CASINO RATE of any kind....you CAN'T change the name....now the person above said with early saver you can change the name for $50.00....GO FIGURE....WHO KNOWS

I was able to go online and change a name on my booking the night before my cruise with no problem and no fee. Booked past guest rate. You may not be able to do it yourself since you used a travel agent.

I have done a name change on a premier offer before. But the invited guest must go. So if you were the invited guest there shouldn't be a problem. If your husband was the invited guest then you won't be able to make the change, definitely call your TA

My son cancelled his girlfriend (ex now) and it was $250 cancellation fee (prior to final payment date) He purchased insurance, so they kept $50 and the other $200 is able to be used towards a future cruise. I am booked on a cruise in April and my moms best friend decided not to go. I called Carnival and was told that since it is prior to final payment date, the cost is $50, but if after final payment date then full deposit amount ($250) would be lost.

The charge of 50 dollars and allowing the 200 for future cruise is standard procedure for early saver cruises. The insurance had no bearing on that. I like past guest because prior to final payment date there is no penalty to change names or drop the cruise.

This is the best answer. Your rate has certain conditions. You need to find out who the rate was offered to - you or your husband. Good luck - hope it was you :)

Even though Carnival has a rule of no changes with Early Saver rate, their break their own rule all the time - for a $50 fee..

 

I have done it before with Early Saver rate.

The person with the Premier/Casino offer must be on the cruise so if it was you good. If your husband the offer will not apply to you any longer since he is not going. They may remove the casino rate and charge you the going rate for the cruise instead.
