Hypothetical question due to a small possibility

[Pete's Girl]

If I am the primary guest on the account but there are two of us traveling, and the other person were to bow out and I have a replacement, what is the absolute latest that I can notify NCL and have the paperwork changed? The week before? 48 hours prior to sailing? Longer? I understand there would be a change fee....I'm ok with that. I just need to know when the absolute latest to change a person on the reservation is.

 

Thanks in advance.

as long as the final payment isnt due, you can change up to that date, either add a name, remove a name or cancel completely. better do it asap to save yourself any hassles. also there should be no additional charge if done before final payment

Thanks for the information. It may be better if I just travel by myself. I've paid for us both and I'm not looking to recoup any of that money, I just thought maybe I could add another name in replacement of the name that's already there. If that's not the case, I've never traveled alone before, but I'm open to it!

 

Thanks for the info!!
