Rare drpclarke Posted August 2, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Sigh. My son is going on a cruise in a week and a half. He has paid for the ticket/cabin/etc. for himself and his grandma, as a gift to her. :0) My mom has a tendency to back out of things, and sure enough, she started laying the groundwork today...her knees hurt, etc. This is pretty typical; I had just hoped she would not do this with a cruise given to her as a gift. I know we can CANCEL the reservation - and get no money back. My question is...can we send someone in her PLACE, such as my husband?? Thanks all!

ldubs Posted August 2, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2022 If you used a TA I would contact them. If you booked directly, I would see if I could change it online. Other than that I don't know. I hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted August 2, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Not enough information. Call Carnival or your Travel Agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted August 2, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2022 My first question is that you say son. At least 1 person from the original reservation must go. I question you about son because of the age requirement. Since you ask if hubby can go with son in lieu of grandma,,,, the answer is maybe/probably/I hope so.

Colorado Cruzer Posted August 2, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2022 You need to call either travel agent or carnival depending on how you booked to see if you can do a simple name change and pay a fee. Hopefully it works out. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunnibee72 Posted August 2, 2022 #6 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I called Carnival about a similar circumstance a couple weeks ago and was told I could change passenger up to day before for a $95 fee. Not sure how it would have worked that close to sailing with the COVID testing. I would call carnival directly and ask. Good Luck!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKUTopperFan Posted August 3, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I do name changes all the time,. I even text name changes to my PVP. He changes it immediately and never a fee. When I book my PVP puts my mom as my cabin mate and then the changes begin as I figure out who's coming with. I've done 4 name changes alone on my sailing the 15th of this month. My PVP gets 4 or 5 bookings a year out of me so that may be part of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just deal with Carnival customer service you can change the name (usually) but for a fee. I good PVP, like mine and WKUTopperFan's, can get a lot of change fees waived. Mine does it all the time for a bunch of different things! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
