JackL Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 I am curious if anyone has booked a guaranteed room for two people and experienced a "no-show" for one guest. I am seeing a cruise listing the GTY rate for two people as significantly lower than the single occupancy rate. If someone books the two-person GTY room, and one person can't make it on the day of, is the now-solo cruiser on the hook for the difference between the GTY rate and single occupancy rate? I understand there would not be a refund for the no show person, except taxes etc. Thanks for sharing your experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 @twangster is probably your best source on this question, but I don’t believe that it would make a difference whether you have a GTY reservation or a reservation for a specific cabin number. I think the process would be the same. It is my understanding that if one of the parties “no-shows”, the amount of taxes and ports fees are refunded and that’s it ! I have read that it is better to have the second person “no-show” than to cancel the second party ahead of time but I have no experience with this myself.

twangster Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Up to this point the taxes and ports fees for the no show passenger are refunded shortly after the cruise ends and there is no change in fare for the solo guest that goes cruising. They also get double points for cruising solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackL Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thank you @twangster and @WAAAYTOOO !! I just rebooked my cruise, added a guest, upgraded my room, and will end up saving $2600- some in FCC and some in cash refund. Hope my friend can make it!
