Monorail Driver Posted November 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I'm heading to port now, me and my no show(wife). Hope I can get on the ship with no problems. Don't know what I'm gonna tell them that I'm checking in by myself. Just hoping it goes smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

23words Posted November 8, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Oh no, I hope you'll enjoy your cruise nonetheless! I don't think they will give you any trouble ... just tell them she couldn't make it and it will just be you. It won't be the first time they have a no show! Have a great trip!

pcakes122 Posted November 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) I don't think they will give you any trouble ... just tell them she couldn't make it and it will just be you. Wouldn't this risk additional charges? I was never clear on how that worked! Have a fab cruise! :) Edited November 8, 2015 by pcakes122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkincc Posted November 8, 2015 #7 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Wouldn't this risk additional charges? I was never clear on how that worked! Have a fab cruise! :) If they were both booked into the same cabin, the full fare is already paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
23words Posted November 8, 2015 #8 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I would think as well that the cruise has been paid for and if his wife doesn't show, NCL won't care ... they already got their money! Why lie to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLady Posted November 8, 2015 #9 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Tell them she is not coming after all. She should get her port charges refunded. Do you have travel insurance so that you can get the rest of her fare refunded? I hope you have an awesome cruise, making lots of friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcakes122 Posted November 8, 2015 #10 Share Posted November 8, 2015 As I mentioned, I'm not clear on how it works, but the OP had started another thread awhile ago looking for advice on whether to cancel or no-show and there was a lively debate with lots of info related to insurance claims, port charges, etc. I still don't really understand it, but I thought the consensus was that the OP should just show up at the pier and check in and not provide advance warning to NCL that his wife was not coming. So I wasn't sure if advising that his wife would not be coming would be seen as a cancellation by NCL and have a financial impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medtech2 Posted November 8, 2015 #11 Share Posted November 8, 2015 He most definitely needs to inform them at check in that she will not be coming so that they don't hold off sail away waiting for her. Even if they would only wait a short while it would still put a kink in everyone else's holiday... The fare is already paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't hold sail away unless there was a group held up that was booked through NCL trAve arrangements. Check in must be done at least 60 or 90 minutes before sail away time.

I know for a fact the CCL Fantasy here in Charleston delayed sail away for an hour for one person.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthlessBoss Posted November 8, 2015 #14 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Wouldn't this risk additional charges? I was never clear on how that worked! Have a fab cruise! :) No extra charges with a no show because both beds in the cabin are paid for. If a person books as a solo, he/she must pay for both beds too.

Josher61 Posted November 9, 2015 #18 Share Posted November 9, 2015 LOL, no there was another thread about this. His wife decided she didn't want to go and told him to go alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyetlse Posted November 9, 2015 #20 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Here is the OP's previous thread, which already contains the answers to some of your questions: Within 14 days: Cancel or No show????? He most definitely needs to inform them at check in that she will not be coming so that they don't hold off sail away waiting for her.I don't know if they will actually hold the ship, but I imagine that they have different procedures for when an entire cabin of people is missing and they have no information about them (not much they can do in that case), and when one person boards and tells them the other person is "coming later", and that person is still not there when check-in closes. They have every reason to believe that this is a major emergency for the passengers involved and they will potentially devote time and manpower to worrying about this, completely needlessly. On the other hand, they have plenty of experience with all sorts of no-show situations, and they must know that the Internet says that passengers should withhold information from the cruise line, or give false information, in certain cases. I think the OP should expect a call in the stateroom (or if he is not there, name called out over the ship's PA system) asking "should we be worried about your wife?" and he can either come clean at that time and say she's not coming after all, or continue to milk the story and for the whole cruise he can be the guy who got stood up by his wife at the pier :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted November 9, 2015 #21 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Well, that would depend on the ship and/or Captain. I know for a fact the CCL Fantasy here in Charleston delayed sail away for an hour for one person.... That person may have been on a Carnival transfer that was delayed. Normally you can not check in after a certain time and they will not hold the ship for a late guest hoping they will show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
