AUTUMN AND FALL EQUINOX.

The posting person was correcting me and said it could NOT

be known by Fall Equinox; only by Autumn Equinox.

Actually, I think the objection was that you referred to a summer equinox.

I've just spoken to Princess and it's an error caused by a move of the final payment date form 90 days to 60 days.

Their phone line doesn't appear to be working at the moment. However, this is not related to some issue with the initial deposit which was paid months ago. When viewing the booking online, the deposit paid at the time of booking is listed as paid and this new deposit is listed separately.

I've checked the confirmation I was emailed at the time of booking and it states the balance is not due until the 90 day mark. I've also just heared from friends we're traveling with and they've received the same email.

Hi Tony, it's also there in red when I login and view payments.

Hi, I woke up this morning to an email from Princess advising that if I didn’t pay a deposit of £335 by the 15^thApril (today is the 16^th) my booking would be cancelled. I’d already paid a deposit at the time of booking and up to now the only additional payment I was aware of was the final payment of the balance 90 days before the start of the cruise.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I haven’t read of anyone being asked for a second deposit before and this feels like a scam to get more money in that has to eventually be converted to FCC if we decide to cancel due to the COVID-19 situation.

The best way is to split ten's and stand on 16 when the dealer is showing seven or higher.

I wouldn't recommend standing on 16 if the dealer has 7 or higher.
