Lots of questions re: changing reservation

[Vellamint]

Good morning.  I hope someone can help me as I am stumped on the best way to go about what I need to do. 
 

Originally booked with a friend who had to cancel due to medical issues. Given a Future Cruise credit. 
 

I had another cruise booked. Can I apply my portion of the credit to that cruise.  The wording says new booking so …. No?  I don’t know. 

 

I need to change the cabin to accommodate 3 instead of 2.  Will that be a problem?  It’s almost $300 more pp as the prices went up since originally booked. 
 

I'm wondering if it would just be better to cancel and lose my original $100 Deposit in order to be able to use my $250 future cruise credit.  Am I missing something?

 

booked online. No TA. No PVP

Never mind. Found my answers.

What was the answer?

I switched cabins and lost the original rate…but I did upgrade us to an extended balcony.  I did not get penalized for changing it and I was able to apply my cruise credit.  
 

I was on the phone for hours literally though. But it’s all good.

Good to hear that you found a cooperative and capable phone agent.

Oh I did not!  The first one moved me and told me one price. After I immediately went to my booking and saw I was charged $600 more that the quote he gave me.
