How to Add a Passenger to My Cabin After Booking a Cruise

Life happens. Oftentimes the best laid plans need to be changed at a later date. Booking a cruise is no exception. Maybe a family member or friend was allowed to take off work after all. Or, someone changed their mind and decided to join you on your trip. Whatever the case, use these valuable tips to learn how to add a passenger to your cabin on a cruise at a later date.



Step1
Contact your travel agent or the cruise line directly as soon as you need to add another passenger to your cabin. Explain the situation to them.


Step2
If you are adding a passenger to a cabin that can accommodate three or four people, there shouldn't be a problem. The biggest issue is if the ship has already reached its sailing capacity. So the earlier you book, the better.


Step3
If you try to add another passenger to your cabin after you've requested a "single" accommodation, you'll need to upgrade to a larger cabin or to a suite. The extra cost will vary, depending on the cruise line.


Step4
Book a "Handicapped Cabin" for your cruise in advance and you won't be able to add an additional passenger, unless they too are handicapped. These cabins are reserved for passengers with disabilities only.


Step5
Make the reservation for the extra passenger, then arrange to pay the deposit for their fare.


Step6
Consider canceling the cruise and rebooking it for a later date if you're unable to add a passenger to your cabin.

How to (Theoretically) Get Into North Korea

Getting into North Korea is almost impossible and if you actually can get in, somewhat dangerous. If you are still interested, here are some tips and reasons why. In 1948, North Korea and South Korea were formed officially after the Japanese lost WWII and gave up occupation of Korea. Since then, North Korea has been the world's hotbed of communism and political controversy. The Korean War, the reign of Kim Il-Sung and now his son Kim Jong-il, and the testing of nuclear weapons have all led to animosity between North Korea and Western nations. In turn, it has become incredibly tough to visit the country, unless under a direct visa from a third party country.



Step1
Americans are not welcome in North Korea. Even journalists and business people are not allowed entry except in extremely rare circumstances.


Step2
Apply for a visa from a third party country such as China if you must attempt entry into the country, but there is no guarantee of success here either.


Step3
Be aware that the U.S. government does not issue visas to private Americans.


Step4
Even military travel is extremely restricted in and out of North Korea.


Step5
U.S. citizens who actually make it into North Korea are subject to detainment and arrest.


Step6
There is no UN Embassy in North Korea, and no help for tourists once inside. Most local citizens are extremely wary of helping foreigners for fear of government repercussions.


Step7
South Koreans and some Europeans are allowed into North Korea, but have only limited access to tourist sites and cannot enter the capital city of Pyongyang.


Step8
Kim Jong-il is only to be spoken of as the "Dear Leader" and a number of other praising phrases.

Where to Stay (If You Get In)


Step1
Accommodations in Pyongyang are not cheap and are heavily guarded by soldiers who monitor your every move as a rule.


Step2
There are very few amenities in Pyongyang accommodations, including only a few TV channels and some restaurants.


Step3
Pyongyang is the only place you'll find accommodations even remotely westernized, although tourists are not allowed to enter this city.
