2 placeholders on gold day?

[hoff41]

I know I can only book 1 room on my gold cc day. But I think my 2 placedholders are under my name. Can I move my second one to my wife and thus book 2 rooms when I get the chance?

When did the rule become you can only book one room at a time?

Well pre booking day it's always been 1 room per person. Maybe that's online only. but even that way would need to log into each of our accounts but if they are both tagged to me...

I was lead guest on 2 placeholders (booked at different times) and could not use them on the same cruise. But maybe your situation is slightly different?

This is exactly what I'm worried about.

I was told I can use them both bc we booked two rooms last time. But maybe not prebook

If both placeholders were purchased on the same cruise, you might be able to book 2 rooms if someone in the 2nd room is eligible for pre-booking on that date.

If your placeholders were purchased on different cruises, then you wouldn't be able to use them on the same cruise because you would need to be the lead guest in each room to use the placeholder. You could ask about changing the name on one of them, but I don't think that's possible after the placeholder is purchased.

So, this is what we did - not sure if it helps you or not.

I booked one room with the placeholder and one without on opening day.

On the next cruise I went on, I booked 2 placeholders in 'my name' - but in truth, the second placeholder just says "TBD" - I then used this placeholder to rebook the second room. It only works if the price hasn't gone up that much, which was true in our case, but might not always be true. It also requires you to go on another cruise in the near future.

Good luck! Maybe they will modify for you.

Can I piggyback on this thread to ask a related question? This will be our second cruise so we are still new. On our cruise where we bought the placeholder, we were 5 people in two staterooms. I had booked both rooms at the same time and they were both in my cruise app, etc. They were both "linked" to me, if that is the correct word. My mom (who was in the adjoining room) bought a placeholder on that cruise for two rooms. Will we have a problem calling on our Silver day and using those placeholder(s) to book the same thing we had the first time: two rooms for the 5 of us on the same cruise?
