ae2009 Posted August 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So my family and I booked a cruise for Nov and we have a family friend that wants to go. He booked his room for 2 people however now it looks like he will be going on his own. Does he have to call Carnival ahead of time and tell them that its just him going? Our fear is that if we tell them they will move him out of his room to another room and we don't want that as we have booked rooms right beside each other.

Lil2Angelic Posted August 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 29, 2016 No worries..They won't move him. He will just have to pay "single supplement". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is paid in full for 2 people and included gratuities for 2 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StolidCruiser Posted August 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Notification all depends on if you are before or after final payment and what cancellation fees you may be facing. That's something you will have to determine based on your circumstances. It is unlikely the booked cabin will be forcibly changed due to changing from 2 to 1 (unless it is a triple or a quad and even if it is would be rare).

Lil2Angelic Posted August 29, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Did either of your friends purchase the travel insurance? If not and the cabin is fully paid for he should just show up for the cruise. The friend who is cancelling will be a no show.

Rare sid_9169 Posted August 29, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 29, 2016 If he's paid in full, he will incur no further charges, and will get a refund for the gratuities and port fees for the other person... He is paid in full for 2 people and paid gratuities for 2 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBoss Posted August 29, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) Do I need to call them now and tell them? He is paid in full for 2 people and included gratuities for 2 people. Do not call. When is the cruise? Never mind, I see it's November. If he still goes, leave it alone unless he fully cancels both.

firemanbobswife Posted August 29, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Have him be a no show. If they are past final payment and the person cancels, they will lose their fare and the solo will need to pay double if they don't have insurance. The other persons taxes/port fees/gratuities will be refunded. It doesn't matter if some think it's not fair or not correct, but that's the way it is. I have been in this exact situation as have others that have reported the same thing. And no, there is no such thing as "No show insurance" (this is directed to a particular poster who constantly chimes in with incorrect information saying they have done this and done that).

From reading old posts, it looks like the date is Nov. 28 on Fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then I would try and find someone to take their place, or cancel them if the rate allows it. I guess they will need to decide which way makes the most sense money wise. If it's ES, then the deposit penalty may be too much. Either way, the solo will end up paying for 2 but only 1 port fees/taxes/gratuities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows...he might find someone between now and then. Thanks for responding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows...he might find someone between now and then. Thanks for responding. You're welcome. I'm thinking the no show is the best option as well. You're not supposed to be able to do name changes with ES, but some people have reported that they were able to do so. All you can do is ask. Good luck and I hope it works out to be as painless as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
