Good night Hector. <br /><br /> Okay everyone, I have a question and was wondering if any of you had come up against this so might know the answer.  I emailed our Carnival cruise planner but did not hear back from her today.  As you all know, we are booked on a cruise in Oct. with our best friends, Bev &amp; Jud.  He lost his job about 6 months ago and has not been able to find another one.  As the balance is due on the cruise, in about 8 weeks, it is apparent that they will not be making the trip.  We paid the deposit on both cabins as they did not have the money last summer when we booked it. I booked both staterooms and put their name on one of them later.  Okay, here is my question....our son Chris is thinking about taking over their booking, but the price has gone up quite a bit since it was booked almost a year ago.  What we want to do is keep the deposit on the cabin and just change names so that he can get the same price.  When the cruise was originally booked, one cabin was in my name and one was in Greg&#39;s and they later changed one to our friends name.  If we can&#39;t do this and have to start over from scratch, he probably won&#39;t do it because he isn&#39;t all that psyched about cruising...his girlfriend, Jessica, has always wanted to go on one so he was thinking about surprising her.  I told him that if they would just transfer the names, we would leave the &#036;500 deposit on there and he would just have to pay the remainder.  Has anyone had this situation and how did the cruisline handle it?
