Divorce name change

[BOSTON LEMONHEAD]

Anyone know what the cruise lines require to change my name? I have a court order showing the name change, but do I have to send that in or can I just call the cruise line? Hoping it would just take a phone call. Thanks in advance all!!!

what type of ID will you be using to check in?  If it’s a passport which name is it in?

I would CALL the specific cruise line ASAP.

Some lines are very, er, stringent about changing names (for any reason) because they don't allow "passenger changes" after a certain date, or they charge extra.

And some try to make it like a cancel and re-book.

 

Hopefully you'll get a rep who understands it's the same passenger with a legal name change, and there won't be any difficulties.

 

The timing could make the difference between this being simple... or not...

 

Also, IF you have a passport in the same name as the cruise reservation, one possibility is to leave things as is, until after the cruise and *then* change the passport name, etc.

Thank you. I currently do not have a cruise booked, and I am in the process of updating my passport. I just wanted to make sure I get credit for all my past cruises (when I was married).

I haven't booked yet, I just want to make sure my past cruises (that I took when I was married) show up in my new profile

You just need to be sure your guest number is connected to your name change
