Friend Can't Go On Cruise - How To Add Another 4 Days Before Cruise

[sc4125]

My sister invited a friend to go on a cruise leaving this Thursday using a great Casino deal.  All is paid for obviously, and they both purchased travel insurance through Carnival.  The friend can't go due to a very sick dog (I know, I know), and she just found out today.  A cousin of ours has agreed to go instead.  My questions are:  Does my sister just call her PVP and change the person going?  Isn't it only a $50 charge for the change?  If she does make the change, can the original friend make a claim for the insurance - it would just be 75% toward a future cruise?  The friend pre-ordered a bottle of liquor and paid for an excursion - I tried to cancel the bottle of liquor on-line, but it's not letting me.  In reference to the CCL excursion, can my sister cancel this once she gets onboard?

 

I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm sure some of you can help me out.

 

Thanks

Call PVP now.   Don't wait for a dozen strangers to opine.

My son is on a cruise that just started today. When he originally booked the cruise, it was for him and his gf. They subsequently broke up and he got a friend to take her place. He had to pay $100 to change the name on the booking.
