allie3490 Posted November 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Hi all. So we have a cruise coming up next May. Was supposed to be me, my 2 sons, and one of their girlfriend. So 2 cabins. Well my son recently broke up with gf and not sure how it all works. Do I just remove her from the reservation or am I able to replace her with someone else? Also, I purchased dining (3 night package) and internet (4 device) through cruise planner. Am I able to call RC and just have them remove her from each? I'm hoping so cause the price of dining has gone up since I booked. I will certainly call RC regardless but wanted to see what people's experiences have been. Thanks in advance!

Sunshine3601 Posted November 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) If you have a replacement person then that would be the easiest solution. If you purchased 4 device plan, no need to worry about changing anything. If you individually purchased 4 devices then you can ask about swapping names with the replacement person. It is much cheaper if you bought the 4 device pkg. Same for dining pkg. And keep an eye for black Friday sales. You can always cancel what you purchased and buy at the sale price. If you remove the GF without a replacement person they will have to reprice that cabin as a solo cabin which will most likely cost more. Find a replacement. I may be available😁 Edited November 9, 2022 by Sunshine3601 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you need a 5 device/dining package. And sleeping arrangements might be difficult to work out. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matj2000 Posted November 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Perhaps in the future Keep the girlfriends at home. Just make it a family trip. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted November 12, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Guys usually keep their friends for life. My son had his friend from pre-school through college stay with him last weekend and go to a concert. They are 46. Have son take a buddy with him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted November 12, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It’s my understanding that as long as the girl was not person #1 on the stateroom, she can be dropped or replaced. If it is a two person stateroom, and she is just dropped, then your son would become a solo passenger in the stateroom, and he would still be paying just about what it costs for two people. As a result, it would be more cost-effective to just have one of his buddies join him. Alternatively, since you’re so far out, as long as you don’t have a nonrefundable deposit, you could just have the three of you in one stateroom and save a ton of money!

I do not think it matters who listed as passenger #1 and who is listed as passenger # 2. What matters is that at least one passenger’s name stays the same on the reservation from the day it is made until the day of sailing. So, if the initial reservation is for Jane Jones and John Smith, for example, as long as John’s name stays on the reservation from start to finish, the other name can be changed.

And have a miserable trip sharing 1 bathroom, dodging a sofabed, etc. If it's about $"s, leave your son at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One cabin -- even a larger cabin -- would be cheaper. Regardless, the answer is, You've gotta call Royal's Customer Service.

Yeah, but short-term girlfriends don't usually get taken along on cruises with mom and dad. Edited November 12, 2022 by Mum2Mercury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARandomTraveler Posted November 12, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Is this there first breakup? If so, leave her on the reservation. First breakups rarely stick. Have your son find a good friend whose willing to be called off the bench at the last minute as a backup plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaRob Posted November 13, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Pricing solo would be marginally cheaper, but yes finding a replacement is the best solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allie3490 Posted November 15, 2022 Author #17 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Thanks everyone 😀. We’ve actually decided to cancel the cruise and go to Italy instead. So it will just be the 3 of us. Thankfully we had refundable deposits 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
