Magic Oct. 2011--How to Pay?

[suzyq213]

On Carnival's site when I price the cruise it just tells you the total price of the cruise. My question is do I have to pay for it all at once or do they accept deposits and payments before a certain date as other cruise sites do? Would love to do the Magic but I've got to put $$ in my trip jar;)

You should have been given the amount of your initial downpayment and the due date of the final payment. We usually put a $250.00 per person down payment when we book the cruise and then put so much down every couple of months.

 

For example I have a cruise booked (on another cruiseline) for February 2011. I put $500 down (2 people - $250 each) when I booked the cruise and my final payment is due December 14th. In the meantime I have placed several payments towards the cruise to bring down my balance.

 

Hope I haven't confused you any. I am not that great at explaining things.

Carnival's deposits, due at time of your booking, are based on length of Cruise:

 

3 Day Cruises $100 pp

4 Day Cruises $150 pp

5 Day Cruises $200 pp

6,7 Day Cruises $250 pp

8 Day Cruises $300

 

Alakska Cruises $350

10+ Day Cruises $400

Europe Cruises $500

 

Carnival doesn't offer payment plans (you CAN set up a bank account and deposit periodically to it) and the final payment is due 60 or 70 days before departure.
