Hi, we are a group of 4 people visiting Budapest on December 24th, 2019. When we made booking, we booked for 3 people instead of 4 for cruise on December 26th, 2019 (6 PM cruise). But 6PM cruise is full now and we are unable to book ticket for another person on the same cruise. Is it possible to book on the same cruise for another friend?
