Is my PVP correct?

[carhopsrock]

We only use our PVP when we book last minute and want to try to get cabins close to each other, etc. We have always booked early saver online and never had a problem. I thought I understood all of the rules, so here is where we need help. This week we are booking the Liberty for April and one cabin will have three passengers. One of the passengers may not be able to go, but we wouldnt know till the last minute. Our PVP said that we can book all three as ES and if she has to back out it will only affect her booking. The other two people in the cabin would be okay. I thought with ES we would have to cancel the whole cabin and start over??? Can anyone explain this to me?? I have canceled an ES booking before, so understand loosing the $50 and getting credit for another cruise, etc.

it will be easier to use a fare code other then ES...With ES, there is a 50 dollar fee and the person that does not sail does not get a refund, they only get a credit for a future cruise

I don't know the answer but it might be a good idea to get your PVP to email you this info if you decide to go this way.

 

Could you book ES for 2 and then just add the 3rd person when you know for sure?

Magic and Buddy is right... if there's a doubt it would likely be easier to book the two folks and add the third at a later date. The third would still enjoy price protection afforded under Early Saver.

Hmmm....I did not realize that! ;) :D

What if she is booked and is a no show? If you don't cancel her what happens if she is a no show?? How does that work?

[firefly333]

We booked two under ES and booked pax #3 as under past guest rate, so we could cancel him and not be penalized. We mixed rates, and it worked, yep it can be done on the same cabin/booking.

 

Sure enough we had to cancel pax #3. I got his deposit refunded completely.

On the above booking pax #2 was a no show .. and my PVP said just dont say anything to anyone. After the cruise the add on fees and taxes were refunded to my credit card. I didnt have to request them.

 

would have cost me 200% anyway, so there was no reason to cancel, she was just a no show.

OP said: One of the passengers may not be able to go, but we wouldnt know till the last minute.

 

If the OP books two folks now and adds the third later (at the last minute), how does the third passenger get ES price protection? :confused:

My aunt recently had to do this. Its really easy. They had 3 in the cabin and my cousin saidhe couldn't go. They lost 50 and the other 200 for a future cruise. So it can be done. But if you think they r gonna back out then id wait too

[Sarapdot]

#1 - in my experience they won't let you book a cabin that sleeps 3 unless you have 3 people booked. We have tried. Unless it's all that is left but being that you are booking far enough out then that won't be the case.

#2 - we had this issue last year on a cruise. #3 decided she couldn't go so she cancelled and was charged the $50 fee and the other $200 was kept by carnival for a future cruise. We then booked someone else in her place.

Good Luck whatever you decide.

If they cancel last minute, you would be in the penalty phase and not get anything back anyway....
