Switching from a Journey's cruise to a back-to-back?

[Buckimion]

Yesterday, my wife bought a new car and is asking me to redirect funds from our Journey's cruise to Hawaii in 2021 to help pay for it. Canceling is pointless since we'd lose $900 and would still only get gift cards back. However, for the money already invested, we could switch to a back-to-back (Total 14 days, all different ports, same cabin) on Mardi Gras and have minimal other funds needed for the difference, travel and excursions. I'm just not sure how to go about it. In the past, I have switched cruises for $100 administrative fees but that was only for a single cruise. How would a Carnival agent likely handle this?

Depends what rate you booked. If early saver deposits are non refundable... doesnt hurt to ask but as I said, to answer we need to know what rate your wife booked. Some deposits are refundable.

The $900 I'd lose canceling outright is the deposit but switching cruises in the past hasn't cost me that loss.

 

The point has been rendered moot as the wife decided 😅 to press on with Hawaii.
