JuliaMS Posted December 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) My son and his girlfriend were offered a cruise that a friend couldn’t take last minute. The friends name will remain on the booking but no show. My son is 22 and his girlfriend 20 (2 months shy of 21) Will they be allowed to board without the 25 year old?

Rare Tapi Posted December 22, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 22, 2018 If a parent or guardian over the age of 25 won’t be present, they will not be allowed to board. There are two exceptions. One is if both guests are over the age of 18 and active military, or over the age of 18 and married to each other. If they don’t meet these exceptions, unfortunately they will be denied boarding. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaMS Posted December 22, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Of course carnival says the other party can’t just no show regardless of the ages involved. But I’m not going to risk flying them to NOLA if there is any chance they will be denied. I just wasn’t sure how strict they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuliaMS Posted December 22, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Oh well. Friends honeymoon not happening, they were trying to find someone to take it. Insurance doesn’t include their reason for canceling so it will just go to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin308 Posted December 23, 2018 #10 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Could someone else over 25 go? And take the 25 year old on the booking off that can't go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding another 25y/o would make four names on the booking, and chances are the cabin only holds two. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakersdozen12 Posted December 23, 2018 #12 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Think about it this way: if it were allowed, don’t you think under 25 year olds would do this on purpose? Meaning, book a room and put, say, the name of one of their parents on the booking even if that parent has no intention of going, just so that they would be allowed on board? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM If the cabin only holds 2 then you couldn't have both of them and the original person in the room. Since most rooms hold 2 or 4. So if they were able to get it booked with 3 they likely could add a 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
