rtn Posted June 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Anyone have recent dealings with a no show passenger. Sailing in a few days and my friend cannot go. I will be sailing by myself. We got a very good fare so I will reimburse her. We both have insurance but it would not be covered. My concern/question is my fare. Could they reprice it when I arrive at the terminal. Any thoughts would be appreciated...a little stressed. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted June 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Just dont say anything. Just board and smile and say nothing about her. No reason. If they ask say she is running late, you don't know. After the cruise your friend will have her fees and taxes automatically refunded.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toddcan Posted June 29, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Royal got their money for the cabin. You're generous enough to reimburse your friend. In effect, you're paying for a double fare now. Royal won't care, since it's after final payment. Kinda sucks though, if you were looking forward to sailing with your friend - that's the only downside here. Enjoy!

congonati Posted June 29, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2023 You could change the second passenger to someone else if you can find someone to take your friend's spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Awjeez317 Posted June 29, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I actually had this happen to me. The person I was traveling with had a death in the family. I didn’t think it wouldn’t be that big of a deal when I first went. But I do wish that I had called before and told them to remove him from the manifest. If felt like I had to tell someone new that he was not here and was not going to be here every hour for the first day. I get it, though. They thought he was supposed to be there for muster, they don’t want to leave people at port if they don’t have to. And probably somewhere there is someone working for Royal Caribbean whose whole job is to make sure people can’t find a way to stowaway and be an unaccounted for passenger or something. If the manifest isn’t set….I’d call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Awjeez317 Posted June 29, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Oh and for the fare….royal charges double rates for solo travelers anyway. So your fare would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you were to sail alone, you'd get double points. If you're going to reimburse your friend for her half of the fare, you're paying both sides ... I'd want to call and switch the booking to a Single Room and get those points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve gotten to Diamond plus really fast cause of that trip. We had a junior suite….and it ended up being solo. So i got triple points! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillyFan33579 Posted June 30, 2023 #14 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Nothing will change with the exception of your generosity in paying for the entire cabin by yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You usually get repriced to the current pricing if you change cabin categories or other major change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always got my Double Points for No-Shows. Had a weird one before CV where it was more expensive for a SOLO passenger then for 2 in my Cabin. This even with my SOLO 340+ points. Didn't say anything, got Fees/Port back for my make believe partner and Double Points received after Cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
