Guest BasicSailor Posted May 4, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Board the ship and let the other party be a No Show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted May 4, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I'm afraid that we simply need more information to help you. How close are you to your final payment date? Why can't the other person go? Is it a covered reason or are they considering filing for "cancel for any reason" coverage? What insurance do they have? Does this insurance provide for their travel partner as far as covering the single supplement if they cancel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknoge3k Posted May 4, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2022 As BasicSailor said, go about things like normal, and just let them be a no-show. Don't cancel anything, don't tell Carnival, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should the person with insurance not cancel and get their benefit? I realize this may raise the price for the person still going but wouldn’t their insurance cover that—if they have it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I'm thinking. The person with insurance wants to cancel and collect. Not forfeit and be a no show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schoifmom Posted May 4, 2022 #8 Share Posted May 4, 2022 We can't just default to "have them be a no-show" because that is not always the right answer 🙂 Most insurances will, if cancelling for a covered reason, also cover their travel partner's single supplement. That's why I asked the questions above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klfrodo Posted May 4, 2022 #9 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Are you saying that the person who is cancelling has insurance, but the other person does not? Then the person who is traveling will get hit with the Single Supplement which is basically a full person charge at current rates. If the second person ALSO has insurance, then their insurance "may" cover the Single Supplement. The insurance for the person who cancels is not liable for the Single Supplement charge for the individual continuing on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skedman Posted May 4, 2022 #13 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I had to do this on an NCL cruise a few years back. My wife dropped a large pan of hot water on her lap about 6 weeks before the cruise. She had second degree burns on her legs and arm. After a couple of weeks she finally went to the doctor how immediately told her she was not traveling anywhere for at least 2 more months. So, I went solo. The taxes for the no-show will be refunded automatically by the cruise line. When I completed the insurance forms, I was only claiming a refund for her cruise fare since I went. I ended up with BOTH of our cruise fares refunded. So the cruise ended up only costing me my port fee and taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any private insurance company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skedman Posted May 5, 2022 #15 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Yes. I book the NCL cruise through a travel agent (I forget who) that includes travel insurance as a perk through a private company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostsoulcruiser Posted May 5, 2022 #16 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Look at your insurance policy, some policies have a "Cancel for any Reason" clause but that may not cover the whole trip. My policy, for an upcoming cruise, is with AIG covers 50% of the amount. To claim that, the party has to miss the trip. A claim will need to be filed with the insurance company after the loss.
