JennAngel9 Posted January 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I am hoping a more sophisticated Celebrity cruiser can answer this question for me-- we typically travel as a party ranging in size from 4-7, most commonly 5. So far as I know, there are no rooms or suites on X ships that will accommodate more than 4 pax (please let me know if I'm wrong!)-- so I think we will ultimately end up traveling 3 and 2...but there is a chance we will only be 4. Does anybody have experience booking during a good sale/promotion and then later adding/dropping/changing passengers on the reservation? I know you used to be able to change names easily. My instincts are: 1) We can switch passengers between rooms later if necessary, before final booking? 2) Dropping a 3rd/4th passenger from a room reservation before final booking shouldn't mess anything up, but 3) ADDING a 3rd passenger after a sale has ended could result in a much higher price? 4) If I want to book a cabin with one passenger I can hold it that way but will likely end up paying 2x fare if I don't drop the cabin before final payment? Does anybody have insight into this issue? Have you ever tried to add a 3rd passenger after fares have gone way up? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZMARYLOU Posted January 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2019 You should be able to switch passengers between bookings before final payment. Dropping a 3rd or 4th passenger not a problem before final payment. Adding a 3rd passenger at a later date will depend on the # of passengers already booked. Even though a room can accommodate 3 if the ship is at life boat capacity they will not put a 3rd person in the cabin. Booking would be at the prevailing rate. Yes, if you book with only one passenger and do not add a 2nd passenger then you will pay the single passenger supplemental fee, which is typically the same price as 2 passengers.

Pushkin Posted January 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Agree with ChezMaryLou comments. We actually added a 3rd passenger to a cabin 2 days prior to sailing -- now that was cutting it close! We also deleted one passenger and added another in her place about 2 weeks before sailing. Once on the ship, Celebrity doesn't care where you sleep, but the seapass cards can be a problem, especially if you have a drink package or other amenity. Some in our party wound up with two cards -- one for use of their package and one for cabin entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algebralovr Posted January 16, 2019 #4 Share Posted January 16, 2019 There are a few family cabins that sleep 5 on each ship. You cannot book them online, you’ll have to call. The second rom is bunk beds and small. There is often a sofa to pull out for a 5th bed. There is still only one bathroom, though. I would book book the max likely since it is easier to drop by a person than to increase. We always book with a holding name if booking for our single son. It is easy to change one name in the room, you cannnot change both. You can drop a 3rd passenger in a room with no issue before final payment, but that may re-rate the room. It might be cheaper for the 3rd to no-show. We have changed sleeping rooms between family members once on board by going to guest services. I would also check the price of a Royal Suite since it has a bath and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
