hypothetical ?????

[familyplus2]

Does anyone know if at the last minute one of the people booked in your group backs out can you add someone else in their place? And if so when can you do this, month before, week, day?

 

I am hoping this doesn't happen but I am wondering if there is a way to make sure we don't totally lose the money on someone we have paid for.

 

Thanks

You should probably ask whomever you booked with - Carnival, TA, a travel website...

Souldn't be a problem...I just switched a person and had no problem.....I was about 60 days out. Very easy...just called gave the new name and information and it was done!!! If you are at 30 days, I would call NOW.....I think it becomes more problematic the closer you are to you sail date....Hope all goes well!!!

We switched out a cabin mate on our Celebration cruise two weeks before sailing. We booked through a PVP. There was a $50 name change charge.

We substituted a person about ten days before our cruise. It cost $50.00 to change the name of the passenger, our TA handled it for us. It has to be early enough that the cruiseline can include the name in their manifest to customs etc., probably at least four days before the cruise.

You can switch names on the reservation at no cost up until final payment is due (60 days out) , after that there is a $50 charge.

We just switched somebody at about 68 days from sailing. $50 charge, and away we go. :)

Is this different in Canada or had you already payed final payment?

Thanks everyone. Again, I really hope that it doesn't have to be changed but it is nice to know I have that option instead of taking the loss.

I changed a passenger through my Travel Agent 24 hours before sailing last March. Paid $50 fee.

[TracersQQ]

You can change for $50. On our last cruise someone backed out 3 days before sailing, we called our PVP and she told us we could change a person (my sister in law was going to be the replacement), for $50, but we had to do it quick because I think they have to have the final list of names either 24 or 48 hours prior to sailing - due to homeland security.

I have known people that changed people the day of boarding at port. I think it was $50 to do the name change.:D

I'm not sure what you're asking would be different? The name change? The $50?

 

Either way... same rules apply to Canadians as they do to Americans. We can change our names as well up until the same date you can. :)

 

And yes, we had already paid final payment.
