Middle Name is Spelled Wrong in Princess Cruise Personalizer :-(

[CI66774]

Cruise is this Sunday and the Personalizer won't let me change the spelling. "E" no longer appears at the end of my middle name "Louis" instead of "Louise." Am I in trouble? Or can Princess add the E? Thanks!

If I was you, first thing tomorrow I would be calling Princess and explain what you found out. Have them make the correction.

You have to call Princess to change your name. It cannot be changed online. It happened to me a couple of weeks ago.

Princess can change the spelling; and you should call them right away. Your name should appear exactly as it is on your passport or whatever I.D. you are going to use.

Did they change it for you? Was there a fee? I have a TA. Should I call the TA or Princess directly? THanks.

[f-mattox]

There is no fee and you should call Princess directly (800-PRINCESS).

Thank you! "Louis" is a lovely name but I much prefer "Louise!" :-)

It should be changed, but even if not there would be no problem at check-in. Changing it Tuesday will mean it will be correct wherever it is used on the ship.

 

It is when first and last names do not match there is a problem.

my husband has 3 names and his surname, the last letter of his name would not fit on cruise personilizer, rang princess and they made a note that claud ended with a e, it was because there were too many letters in his name

[CI66774]

Thank you all for your kind responses. I called Princess directly this morning and a very nice agent changed it on the spot. Everything is perfect now. Thanks again!

Hi - we are on the Island Princess 21 Dec. My husbands middle name & my middle name are included in the passenger information but on the actual summary, etc it just has our first and last names. Should I ring Princess??:confused:

Our middle names have been missing from the summary for many cruises now. We've never had a problem with check-in. Does your boarding pass have your middle names? You can also check under "Print Travel Summary". That should show middle names as well.

No need.

[CI66774]

No need.

 

Princess rep told me not a problem if the middle name isn't there - only if it's been "morphed" into a totally different name - like mine "Louise" was "Louis" on the docs.

Thanks everyone for your prompt replies.:)

I believe even that would be OK for a middle name. It's when it's "morphed" into another totally different name for instance if instead of Louise it was Arrabelle.

I had Princess correct, just to be on the safe side. Moreover, I much prefer Arrabelle to plain old Louise! :D

LOL Too funny! :D

 

The middle name is now really important if you're flying. They have to have that information. Before, it wasn't required.

Yes, they make a big deal about the name on the ticket matching the name on the ID. I just booked 2 tickets on United to Miami last night and entered all the information. The tickets have first and last name and middle initial - no middle name even though it is in the profile and was entered into the booking.

 

DH flew last week. I just looked at his boarding pass. I booked him with first, middle and last names yet only first and last names appeared on the United boarding pass. He had no trouble checking in or with TSA.

 

I booked a cruise on another line last night and the agent put only first and last names on the booking. When I went to pre-register for the cruise they had optional under the middle name box. I entered the middle names anyway as they appear on the passports.

 

I wish they would decide if it is a big deal or not.

For me, the middle name *is* a big deal. I have a somewhat common first name/last name combination and I always had trouble when checking in for flights because of the infamous watchlist. A friend of mine had the same issue and suggested I add my middle name to all of my bookings. Fortunately my middle name is very uncommon (thanks Mom, although I didn't appreciate it when I was growing up :rolleyes:). Since I added my middle name to my bookings I haven't had any issues.
