Going from Single to Double

[Simplertimes]

OK, just want to make sure on this.

 

One person has a room booked and the cruise is paid in full. Paid the double occupancy (Early Saver). If another person is added (providing the ship isn't at full capacity), all the 2nd person will be paying is the extra taxes/port charges for 2, correct?

 

Someone (who claims to know everything) said that the original booking would have to be cancelled and that the 2 would have to re-book at the current price.

I have done this before. I started off with a single and later added someone. She had to pay the taxes and fees, plus any difference in the rates from when I first booked. If the rates have gone up your cabin mate will have to pay the difference. It may have changed but this is what I did a couple of years ago.

I did this last year, and my friend just had to pay the extra taxes & fees.

Wouldn't the Single Supplement cover the second person anyway? In that case, your new roomie would just pay taxes?

The second person will only be charged the current taxes. No need to cancel and rebook.

Same here. No change in rate, it had already been paid for.

I just did this today! We had to pay the taxes and fees. It worked out great.
