No-show Question

[422Melissa]

If the third passenger in a fully-paid cabin is a no-show, does it make a difference if you communicate this at the port during check-in vs. doing it on the ship?

It shouldn't make a difference.  I've heard people say that the easiest thing to do is to just tell the person checking you in that the other person must be running late.  I'm just one of those that sees no reason to make up a story, and I wouldn't think it would make any difference if you just tell the person checking you in that the other person decided not to go.  They can't charge you anything at that point.

I think that depends on the rate promotion booked, am I right?  If the cabin is booked under Past Guest or Casino Rate, which both gives discounts, and the people left in the cabin are neither,  I would expect they would have to pay the difference since they don't qualify for the promotional rates.  And then, wouldn't it revert to the other rate, which is not a promotional rate?

Onboard or at the port check-in is really the same thing; it’s a no-show at sailing.

 

It would be different if it was a cancelation 14+ days or weeks ahead of the travel date.  Also, being a third person on the booking is different than being the first or second on a booking (for refaring purposes if canceling in advance).
