GateGuardian Posted December 12, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Has anyone else ran into this issue? Whenever I look at cruises for 1 it says everything is fully booked, but when I change to 2 people it says its available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow there is no solo discount, so if you wish to travel solo, you will have to pay for two passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaj girl Posted December 12, 2017 #3 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Had to do this for a friend that wanted to travel with us. Must book a fictitious roommate - you'll get the taxes credited to your credit card when your roommate is a no-show at the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GateGuardian Posted December 13, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thanks, just wanted to make sure it was ok to book my imaginary friend :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mef_57 Posted December 13, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hope you don't mind me tagging on to your thread, but I found the same thing when trying to book 1 person last week. I have heard about the fictitious second person, but don't you have to enter a passport # that would be real and checkable? .....and they don't give you grief if that person doesn't show up?

Rare eroller Posted December 13, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Had to do this for a friend that wanted to travel with us. Must book a fictitious roommate - you'll get the taxes credited to your credit card when your roommate is a no-show at the pier. Royal Caribbean does the same thing. They would not confirm me as a single on Harmony of the Seas in October, so I booked my husband with me and he was a no show. They credited back his port charged to my credit card after the cruise.

Once my husband had to cancel and I went alone on the cruise. Nobody had a problem with the no show, but also no one mention any tax refund...
