Carnival Cruises Name Correction Policy 2025: 11 Easy Steps To Update Passenger Details

If your cruise +1-855-690-1232 ticket has the wrong name, don’t panic! Here's a step-by-step breakdown of 10 ways to get it corrected before your Carnival Cruises voyage.

1. Contact Customer Service Immediately

Call Carnival Cruises support or use live chat to report name discrepancies early. This improves your chances of a smooth correction.

2. Use The Online Cruise Planner

In some cases, minor updates can be done online through the Cruise Planner under your reservation settings.

3. Correct Spelling Errors Quickly

Misspellings or typos can often be fixed free of charge if corrected early — ideally more than 75 days before departure.

4. Request a Name Change Form

For major changes or transfers, you may need to fill out a formal request or form provided by Carnival Cruises's support.

5. Review Fare Terms

Different fare types have different change policies — non-refundable fares may have stricter limits or fees.

6. Provide Legal Documentation

For name changes due to marriage, divorce, or legal reasons, submit ID copies or legal documents as proof.

7. Involve Your Travel Agent

If you booked through an agent, they can assist directly with Carnival Cruises’s systems for a faster resolution.

8. Track the Change Confirmation

Always ask for written/email confirmation of the change for check-in and boarding safety.

9. Avoid Last-Minute Changes

Trying to correct a name within 48 hours of sailing can result in denial to board. Start early!

10. Check Airline Tickets

If your cruise package includes flights, coordinate name changes with both cruise and airline partners to avoid mismatch.
