Substituting a passenger

Help! We are due to leave home in 10 days for our cruise, and my DH just received some medical news that may not allow him to travel due to a pre-existing condition. Our trip cancellation insurance will not cover him should he not be able to travel. Does anyone have experience with substituting another passenger? I'd rather take a family member than lose the entire fare.

Call Celebrity. Can`t hurt to ask.

You can change 1 name up until like 4 days prior to sailing (or whatever the cutoff is when they send manifests to the ship). 1 of the names on the original reservation must remain the same.

Call ASAP and it will be handled.

If you have age-related trip insurance, it may make a difference in your insurance cost, but if you have the travel insurance through Celebrity, the price won't change.

Also check with your insurance company. Some look back periods are only 3-6 months so that may affect if something is really considered pre existing or not.

Thanks for everyone's help. We have an appointment with the specialist tomorrow, so hopefully will get good news and we'll be able to travel.

We hope all goes well for him. Best wishes for tomorrow.
