BOSTON LEMONHEAD Posted August 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2023 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!!!

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. GC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).
