Sarcastic Mama Posted October 22, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2023 My question is 2 parts - We have 3 cabins under one booking. My son, his wife, and one of their friends were in one of the cabins. However, they are not going to be able to come. My daughter in law is pregnant and due 2 months before we cruise. How hard is it to change the people in the cabin? We were going to cancel the cabin, but my husbands sister and family are thinking of going. Second part - If my sister in law opts out, can I move my daughter and her friend into the room, they will both be 23. We have 3 balcony cabins in a row on the Jubilee for June, so I have some time before final payment is due. Thanks for the help! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine5715 Posted October 22, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 22, 2023 You need to call Carnival. There are fees involved depending on your booking 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted October 22, 2023 #3 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I believe you cannot change out all of the people in the cabin. At least one of the original occupants on the booking has to sail. EM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch54 Posted October 23, 2023 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2023 With your Daughter in Law's pregnancy she would actually not be able to cruise past 26 weeks. That may be in your favor for switching guests and might give you some lee way around the fees normally associated with switching or cancellation if you call and explain the cruise was booked before she found out about the pregnancy.

That's not true, Carnival will still charge fees. The baby will be born 2 months before the cruise. There is no medical reason why she can't sail.

Sorry about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the mother would be pregnant during the cruise, my guess is Carnival would still charge fees and refer them to their travel insurance for recourse. Carnival has really tightened up on goodwill credits and waived fees since the COVID emergency is over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We traveled without our kids several times (even leaving a 6 week old with grandparents for 2 nights), but most parents wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving a 2 month old home for a week when they’re not able to immediately head for home in an emergency.

And I agree, I wouldn't want to be separated from my infant either. But that's not a reason to get out of cancellation fees is all I'm saying. I doubt travel insurance would reimburse either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And being unable to cruise even while still pregnant wouldn’t be a valid reason for cancellation either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
