mauimary Posted July 8 #26 Share Posted July 8 What we did when this happened to our second room was we moved one person to the second room (person named in reservation) so one original occupied the room. We brought on two more family members. Put one of them in room 2 with family member on the reservation and then put the other one in room one. Once onboard we made the switch. Staff did not care who occupied the room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jim_Iain Posted July 8 #27 Share Posted July 8 One possibility is to check with the Credit Card that you used for payment of the cruise. Many like Chase Sapphire Reserve have built in insurance up to a certain limit that might cover some of your loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People often don't understand travel insurance. I do believe some people don't purchase because they believe an existing condition will prevent a successful claim. However, often the cause of the claim has zero to do with the pre existing condition. Also, it sounded like total bs. LOL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But asking why does not take away the advice offered and it might actually help someone. Some people are nosy and some people want to help. Not everyone reacts the same way when a person tells them to “just move on”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplsmurf Posted July 9 #35 Share Posted July 9 Does the room your parents have allow for 3 or 4 people? If not, then your wife definitely couldn’t move to that room, but I highly doubt you can make any changes at all since it way past final payment. The only change you could make is adding someone to your parents room, but your mom would still have to be on the reservation. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ggo85 Posted July 9 #41 Share Posted July 9 A few years ago, my DH has a serious medical issue right before a cruise. Ironically, it was the only time we had not taken insurance because we were both healthy and had no reason to think we wouldn’t make the trip. We called the cruise line (not X). They said: this is why we sell insurance. Would do nothing. Thankfully, DH managed to go and it turned out ok, more or less. We learned our lesson (for us). Ever since have bought insurance and have never needed it. Has cost us a lot to do that. It’s not being judgmental. People have every right not to take out insurance. For many, it’s probably the better choice, depending on health status, cost of cruise bs. Insurance, etc. However, since all cruise lines sell insurance, they have very little sympathy when something goes wrong and there’s no insurance. If they were less strict, no one would buy insurance There is obviously no downside in pleading your case. Maybe you’ll be fortunate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used credit card travel insurance to cover a cruise that we had to cancel because my wife was medically unable to travel. Everything was covered. It was a pain to provide all the documentation they kept asking for, but ultimately I was made whole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand. One thing you should do, if you haven't already, is to categorize what you want and what you're willing to accept. At this point, assume anything is possible. Do you want a refund for the second cabin? Are you willing to accept FCC for giving it up? Can your parents or whomever booked that cabin somehow get replacements. Can you move one or more occupants of your cabin to the second cabin? Good luck and please keep us posted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
