AlmondFarmer Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Is it possible to go to the Next Cruise desk on board and purchase an open booking or “book later” reservation for someone else? I purchased one for myself last week and regret not buying two. I have a friend sailing next week and hoping he can purchase one for me. Anybody have experience or knowledge regarding this?

KJones Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I wonder if they could book with their name and your name as the 2nd guest, then switch their name out to your other person? Technically one person from the original reservation would remain on the booking... AlmondFarmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I was told that "Book Later" acts like a gift certificate and can be given to anyone. The name on the booking didn't matter. I bought one for a friend, knowing they were going to book a cruise soon, but I had to join the call with my buddy and the RC agent to allow him to make the reservation AlmondFarmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may depend on who you get on the phone. WAAAYTOOO and bobroo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please clarify; by they are you referring to next cruise agent on a ship or is they a person you called to ask if next cruise will allow open booking for someone else on board?
