danysmom Posted May 9, 2010 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I need to cancel my booked cruise for Dec 12/10, and rebook for the week before. I have booked the fun saver rate (which use to be called the guaranteed rate I think). Anyways, I think that there are no penalties, and that I will be ok to do this right? I think I will also not purchase the carnival insurance this time. I will get it elsewhere. Just confirming that I won't be denied the rebooking.:) Thanx, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazingm42 Posted May 9, 2010 #2 Share Posted May 9, 2010 You are still early in the process you can cancel and rebook on another date with no fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_cruisin Posted May 9, 2010 #3 Share Posted May 9, 2010 No, you should not be charged to change anything. As long as final payment day has not passed, you can make as many changes as you want. I have had to change mine twice since January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danysmom Posted May 9, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Phewwww. I thought I was ok. Thanks a lot for confirming that for me.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelntreats Posted May 9, 2010 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Phewwww. I thought I was ok. Thanks a lot for confirming that for me.:D Unless you booked with a TA that charges a change or cancellation fee, there are no fee's you will incur from the cruiseline to transfer your deposit or moneys already paid, to another sailing date.

CorbinCatFan Posted May 9, 2010 #6 Share Posted May 9, 2010 IIRC, with the early saver you will have a $50 document fee for the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeM Posted May 9, 2010 #7 Share Posted May 9, 2010 We have done this many times and never a problem. We use a TA that does not charge a fee for changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked directly through carnival. I booked with someone that answered the phone. Does that mean that is who I ask for, or can I request a different PVP. When you call carnival do you ask to speak with a PVP or just talk to whoever is on the phone. Not sure if the people who answer the phone are PVP's or just customer service. Is there a difference. Does this make sense??:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You even get to keep the same booking number, they will just transfer the amount you paid on your old booking to the new sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starr Mtn Posted May 9, 2010 #12 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Suggest you check regarding insurance. Unsure from your post if you paid for insurance with your first booking. If so - when you cancel you might not be refunded that cost. SO .... ask if the insurance can be transferred to your new booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdGuyMG Posted May 9, 2010 #13 Share Posted May 9, 2010 When you call the 800 Carnival number you speak with a Cruise Vacation Specialist in the reservations department, not a PVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was a difference. I haven't called yet, so if I would like to get a PVP do I request to speak to someone in that dept to handle my cancellation and rebooking?

If you already have one, I can see a reason you might want to wait. If you dont have one, anyone that picks up the phone can assist you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted May 9, 2010 #16 Share Posted May 9, 2010 If you want a PVP you have to call that department at 1 800 819 3902 and ask for one to be assigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danysmom Posted May 10, 2010 Author #17 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Thanks for all of your help. It was very easy, and the gal on the phone was very helpful. I am now going a week earlier, even better!!:):):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
