Daughter Share a Cruise Cabin with Father

justforthis

My father booked a cruise for him and my mother but my mother is now unable to go but she has told him to go by himself.

However he will not get any money back, so he suggested I go with him instead as I have never been on a cruise.

The cabin will have single beds.

Would anyone think it strange that a 50 year old daughter would share a cabin with her 75 year old father, or even as he suggested, jokingly, that I pretend to be his fancy woman.

I have the same name as my mother so we don't even have to change the booking names.

No, not strange at all.

A friend of mine does the exact same thing twice a year. She is a bit younger than you, and dad is a bit older. Dad also has dementia. They always have a great time.

Nope. Not at all

Go for it,

I know you say you have the same name as your mum but it may be worth checking in any case as I'm sure you have to give your dob when booking & I don't know if the cruise company cross checks this when checking in against your passport.

Yes, I'd definitely check but it would be worth paying an amin charge if necessary.

Don't want to deprive you of a holiday but would it not be possible for the cruise to be delayed until your mum can travel?

I think you will find others on the ship are in the same situation as you and your dad so don't worry. After being on several cruises it doesn't sound at all odd to me.

No, it's not odd at all, and if anyone thinks it is, their the one with the problem
