My mom booked a 7-day cruise for her and a friend, and I think she got the Free At Sea 3rd & 4th guest promotion, and added me and my boyfriend to the cruise as guests 3 & 4 in her cabin.
Mom and her friend don't want to use any of those packages that come with Free At Sea (free 150min wifi, 2-meal specialty dining, shore excursion credit, etc.), and she wanted me and my boyfriend to use them instead. (We've cruised with them before, they literally do nothing but sit in the cabin and watch TV, even in port, and won't join us on excursions, they don't drink, etc. so it's really wasted on them).
How can I make that happen? We are already checked-in for this Saturday's sailing. The website and the app only allow us to select my mom (Guest 1) or her friend (Guest 2) for excursion credit. Do I just book using my mom and friend, and then my boyfriend and I go instead? Do they ask for IDs or anything?
As for the wifi, can I still use the wifi since my mom's not going to? I'm assuming I can just login with her account?
Also, how can I go to the specialty dining places (I've actually never been) as a Guest 3 & 4 using the Free at Sea package? You can make a reservation without specifying which guests, but do you need to actually be guest #1 or #2 to eat there? Do they check your ID or something?
Can I just ask Norwegian to change me and my boyfriend to be guest 1 & 2? Does that actually have any further implications? (I mean, technically, we're paying mom back for the cruise anyway, so I don't mind if I'm responsible for charges or whatever).
I guess I just don't understand NCL's reasoning behind why it must be Guest 1 & 2, if my mom and her friend don't plan to use the Free At sea perks at all and want to give them to me instead, and I'm wondering if someone can tell me if I'll encounter difficulties if I'm trying to use the packages as listed above. I don't want to do anything wrong, I want to go about it the right way. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!
