Last Lion Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Next week is final payment for a cruise out of New Orleans. Right now booked for my wife and I. However, she probably can’t make it- but might. Should I keep the booking for the both of us or change it to just myself but then add her later if she can make it closer to the cruise date? What would be the cost and Royal points effect of adding her later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspiringCruisePlanner Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Adding or removing passengers from a reservation often, but not always, requires the reservation to be re-fared to the prevailing rates. Whether there's one person on the reservation, or two, the total cruise fare will be the same at any point in time because solo travelers have to pay a solo supplement equivalent to the cruise fare of a second passenger. Simply keep your wife on the reservation and make final payment. If she's able to go, then your reservation is all set. If she's not, then she can be a no-show at the pier and her port taxes and fees will be automatically refunded. No need to make changes to the reservation for this to happen. As far as double C&A points for you sailing solo in the event she can't make it, you may or may not get the double points. It seems to depend on what agent is managing those point allocations for your sailing. WAAAYTOOO, KristiZ and VirtKitty 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Totally agree with @AspiringCruisePlanner. Recommend that you leave the reservation as-is; this will give you the most flexibility. AspiringCruisePlanner and KristiZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampurp85 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Also keep in mind that it may be impossible to add another closer to sailing as the ship can be at capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
