There have been a few threads over the years about exactly what the rules are for booking staterooms/placeholders for friends and family who are not on the cruise you are on, with the onboard booking offer. Various posters here have confidently said that you can only book rooms for people who are on the cruise now, or that you can book rooms for anyone regardless of whether they are on the current cruise or not.
On our last cruise, I directly asked the onboard booking agent what the rules were, and he indicated that you could book for anyone. We were, in fact, booking one room for ourselves and one for friends, which worked fine. But I asked if we could book two rooms, both for friends not on the cruise, and he said "absolutely."
However, that was more than a year ago (and he may have been mistaken), and I've heard from someone else that the current rule is that someone from the current cruise has to be booked into the first stateroom, and then the second room can be for anyone.
Does anyone have any recent experience with booking a future cruise or placeholder for other people who are not on the cruise you're doing the booking on?
