I booked a cruise for 3 people. For August 24th. I paid 1/3 of the total (cruise, port fees, insurance) when I booked. Final payment is not due until May 31. Since the other 2 have not paid anything yet, and now have to cancel for medical reasons, will I still have to pay for their insurance portion of the total? I would think not since none of their portion has been paid yet. Also, if one person takes their place, will it be at the same price (for a second person) as when I booked it? (The price had gone up after I booked and is now sold out I think). And would the grand total go down since now there are 2 people and not 3? I booked with an online cruise travel company. I'm in California, travel agent is in Florida so I won't be talking to her until the morning. Just wanted to see if anyone has been through this before and have knowledge about it. Thank you

I would contact the cruise company directly as each one has different policies regarding cancellations.
Yes, please tell us how it turns out.
I think they will charge you the 2 person rate and take off the taxes/fees for the other 2 passengers-this is based on my past experience with passengers that cancel. I hope you can still swing it-I loved my cruise when my son and his friend had to cancel at the last minute. Bon Voyage
Wish I could help but I do not have any experience with your situation. I would think there would be a change of name fee but maybe not. Like Aunt Pinkie said please post how they handle it so other members will know.
Please post what you learn as it may help someone else.
I can't help with all of your questions, but there most likely will be a change of name fee and the price of the cabin will have to split in two instead of by three. Good luck and I hope you will still be sailing on that cruise.
