JawjaCrewser Posted April 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2018 My fiance and I have decided not to get married. In fact we have split altogether...I have booked and paid in full for a 7 day cruise that leaves in 42 days. What if anything can I do in terms of refunding her share of the cruise fare? I did get cruise insurance(the middle one) if that makes any difference. Can I take a buddy instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love my butler Posted April 26, 2018 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Go alone and drown your sorrows. Maybe you will meet the next Mr/Mrs right on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of a son of a ... Posted April 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Sorry to hear about your situation ... probably for the best. Unless you have “cancel for any reason” insurance, a broken heart is not typically considered a qualifying event. I believe a substitution is considered a cancel and rebooking. Perhaps it might be cheaper to add a 3rd person to the cabin. IDK - just some thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcruiser1956 Posted April 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Go and have a good time, or see if they will let you change names on the reservation. You never know until you ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paradise sailor Posted April 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2018 you can easily take someone else by changing out the name.....just did it for a friend in December 1 week before his cruise and there was no charge to change..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paradise sailor Posted April 26, 2018 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2018 just call whoever you made your booking through...ours was with a PCC from Norwegian...if your through a TA there might possibly be a small change fee but very small...the replacement person obviously has to have all the proper travel documentation...

I think there is a slight charge for a name change, but otherwise everything should be covered. It would be better to go with a friend, than to just lose everything and traveling with a friend will be a lot more fun than going alone or cancelling altogether.

faphy8 Posted April 26, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 26, 2018 so sorry honey on our last cruise we met someone that the same thing happened to her and she still went . She said that she was glad she went on cruise and had a good time talking to people and having some fun. she said it helped a little to be away from everything that happened at home . Good luck what ever you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mention "refunding her share of the cruise fare" - who to? You should be able to amend the booking to substitute a new name. Can you cancel the whole cruise and then book something else?

Go on vacation, and don't leave your cabin ;);) Just make Tander profile saying you need someone to come on a pre-paid cruise with you. Probably easier than the escort route, and who knows, she might be more than Mrs Right Now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get cruise insurance(the middle one) if that makes any difference. Can I take a buddy instead? Taking a buddy is an option. If she paid part of the fare have him buy her out. If you paid the whole fare, work out something with him, or you can always go alone. The cabin is paid for and NCL doesn't care if you travel alone. BTW subbing a passenger is not a cancel and rebook and NCL will normally do it for you without charge up until a few days (2 - 3) prior to sailing.

myra711 Posted April 27, 2018 #25 Share Posted April 27, 2018 FYI I was supposed to go on a cruise and had to bail literally 2 days before the cruise left due to family crisis. My sister was able to find a friend to go with on very short notice, and there was no problem changing the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
