Cabin Change

[Humble_cruiser85]

I booked 2 balcony cabins on Carnival. 2 ppl in one, 2 ppl in the other. Now I need to cancel one person and put one of the other ppl in the other balcony and cancel that other balcony all together.... So we're going from 4 ppl in two cabins to 3 ppl  in one cabin. Has anyone ever done this? Are there fees?

You need to contact Carnival or your TA and see what their change/cancelation policies are. It will depend on the fare code you’re booked under, and when you’re sailing. Being inside the final payment phase vs outside will affect what type of penalties may be assessed.

 

Outside penalty booked under a refundable fare means that most likely you won’t incur penalties, and the 3rd person will be moved to the other cabin at the prevailing 3rd guest rate. Inside penalty, and/or booked under a non-refundable fare means that most likely some sort of penalty will be charged. But Carnival or your TA will be your best source for exactly how much that will be.

Thanks so much! I appreciate it!!!

Whether you can do this also depends on whether the cabin you want to keep can hold three guests.  EM
