Can you add an additional passenger after final payment?

We are traveling Oct on Panorama in a suite.  We made our final payment.  We'd like our friend to join us (we've shared the tight cruise ship space before and didn't mind).  Is there a way to add an additional passenger after final payment?  I am hoping to not have to call Carnival, but fear it's my only option.  

 

anyone with experience?

Usually adding someone would not be an issue, but only if you your room will accommodate 3 people.  If you have a room that will only hold 2, they will not allow you to add them (or if the ship is at full capacity people wise).

 

You may be able to switch to a room that accommodates 3 people in the same category room you currently have though, if one is available, and add them that way too.

Thanks, Wemjam!

There is a little more to it than that.  I think all suites accommodate more than two, so that shouldn’t be an issue.  The problem may be timing of the cruise, and if it is a time when lots of families may be sailing.  If the ship has reached the max passengers for your muster station, they might not allow you to add another guest. Your best option is to call.  EM

Thanks, Essie.  For anyone else in the same boat (pun definitely intended), you can add as long as the room accommodates the number of passengers in the cabin and the ship has capacity.   I did call Carnival (pleasantly surprised getting through was very fast without hold time), had I known I would have called and not posted. 

 

The rep said we'd need to pay in full (we leave in 40-ish days) and anyone could call, using our PIN and booking number, to set up the additional passenger.  The rep also said we could do it online, but I can't seem to figure out how.  I have no doubt it is very easy online and I'm just missing the well-labeled button to push.  Clearly a PICNIC error (Problem In Chair Not In Computer).
