amy_94 Posted May 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Does Carnival ever offer the $50 pp deposit on cruises that are booked pretty far in advanced? I am planning our first cruise, with a group of friends, for summer 2015. The $50 deposit would really help a few of my friends if it is offered on cruises that far in advance. thank you!

I'm not sure I've ever seen the $50 deposit offered that far in advance. I just booked ES for Jan 2015 with a 1/2 price deposit promotion that ended a week ago..... I would probably get a good PVP and let him/her know that I wanted to book ES with a reduced deposit and to let you know when any come up. Sometimes the reduced deposits aren't obvious on Carnival's website. I wouldn't have known about mine if it weren't for CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyJanesMommy Posted May 27, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I'm pretty sure there's a promotion going on right now with $50 deposits that may cover next summer... When I clicked on the link in my email it gave me the option of up to April 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
618mom Posted May 27, 2014 #4 Share Posted May 27, 2014 You can always do a mock booking and check that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishnyc Posted May 27, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Just be aware that after you do a $50 deposit, if you put in for a price drop, you usually need to immediately pay the remaining amount of a full deposit if you haven't reached payment date yet.

amy_94 Posted May 27, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I tried doing the mock booking and it showed my deposit as the $250 pp. thank you all for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudder Posted May 27, 2014 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I booked a month ago for March 2015 with ES at $50 pp. You just have to keep watching... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammee Posted May 27, 2014 #9 Share Posted May 27, 2014 The current 50 doesn't show for 2015. I tried to get one for May and bombed out. I'll have to keep my eye out and keep on saving at the same time for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnePsychLynne Posted June 24, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Bumping this up for a related question...is the reduced deposit advertised somewhere? I don't think I've ever seen it. I'd love to be able to book more cruises in advance but at $500 a pop it ain't happenin :( Don't even get me started on that it should be a Platinum/Diamond perk :/ Sent from my Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk Edited June 24, 2014 by OnePsychLynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked a September cruise last January with the $50 deposit under early saver. Normally I book last minute. But in this case I wanted a cabana at HMC (which always sell out) and needed certain cabins for my group, so I booked ES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy_94 Posted June 24, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted June 24, 2014 So far, the discounted deposits haven't made it to cruises for summer of 2015. I'm going to keep watching and hopefully they'll offer it for later cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
