Switching name on booking

[Ilovesailaway]

I have a cruise booked for Dec 2021. Fingers crossed. I booked this after a cruise from 2020 was cancelled due to covid. As it stands my DW and I are booked but I may switch the booking so the its my son and I. Wife has a work thing that will conflict. We were given a $600 OBC because of our cancelled 2020 cruise. I wonder if having my son on my res. instead of my wife will effect that OBC? She was on the 2020 booking that was cancelled. Also, this 2021 cruise is scheduled to stop at Key West but I seem to remember that the locals had voted to no longer allow cruises there. Anyone know if that's true?

You would lose the #400 OBS due to your wife, as well as potentially losing her portion of the deposit.

What if she stays on the booking but is a no show? This cruise is with several of our regulars so I would have plenty of company even if I were without a roommate.

My understanding is

 

You'd get port fees/taxes returned. The OBC would still be lost since she was a no show and OBC is split between cabin members.

it all comes down to how you booked.   If you booked as an early saver rate you would lose her deposit.   You can not make name changes on an early saver rate.
