Hello! I posted this yesterday about the situation my friend and I. She can no longer cruise, but I can, however Cunard wants to charge an additional solo occupancy fee on top of the penalty for the cancellation. Some of you recommended showing up at the port and just say she isn't coming to avoid this. I am asking the Cunard travel agents in this sub is this safe to do? I'm worried I'm going to show up and they will give me issues with boarding, issues when I'm the cruise, etc. I'm just looking for some expert reassurance, this is the right move. Thank you!!

I'm past the final payment deadline for my July cruise, and now my friend can no longer make a cruise we booked togehter, however I can still go. I called Cunard and they said it was going to cost over $1,200 for the canceled passenger, but then another $900 or so to mark my room as single occupancy. Has anyone else been in this situation?

I also have the CunardCare as part of my fare, but the agent did not mention if this would help negate of these fees. I didn't move forward with the cancellation process in the off chance if I called back perhaps another agent would give me a different outcome. Looking to see if this has happened to anyone else and ended up happening!
