pbsteve Posted September 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Just took a look, and 50.00 deposits are back... I wish price drops were back though... still the same prices. But perhaps Ill book another anyway, for that low of a deposit, why not get an early start while still paying off my next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very glad I booked when I did, would rather pay full deposit and the good overall price I did then the low deposit with such inflated overall prices that they are now. :D Although I am sure that there are good deals to be had on some sailings. Just really surprised at how much the price has increased on a February sailing from Baltimore. Must be selling well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John F Posted September 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I just booked a cruise on the Glory (4-23-16) on line for the $50 deposit per person. We I booked it after putting in my Credit car info, it went directly to a screen where it said I had been charged the full cruise amount!! No option was offered about different deposit amount. I called the Diamond desk right away to see about this problem. They immediately fixed my problem. The lady said that they have been getting reports of this happening to other guests. So heads up!!!

L&J Posted September 23, 2015 #9 Share Posted September 23, 2015 When I do a mock booking for a cruise in Jan 2017 it shows me a $600 deposit for the 4 of us. Shouldn't it be $200?? It's an 8 day sailing within the sale time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyfrazee Posted September 23, 2015 #10 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I am needing to book 3 more rooms for our Breeze cruise and was happy to see this "special". This special deal cost about $30 more per person! I figure it's CCL charging interest. I will have to book under the regular ES rates and pay $250 per person deposits.

Violets Mommy Posted September 23, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I'm looking at booking the Magic in May. My mom and I want to go ahead and book, and then eventually add my husband and two children to the booking. Will we be able to change the booking to a five person room (pending that one is available) at a later date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you need to change category (upgrade) to get a cabin that fits 5 people you'll likely need to pay the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We save on the front end with lower deposit's, but spend a little more overall. For two people it's not that bad but for 3 more cabins that cost would quickly add up and wouldn't be worth it.

John F Posted September 23, 2015 #14 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I am pretty sure when I booked the Glory this morning, I got the Early saver rate with the $50 deposit per person. John & Prisciila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakersdozen12 Posted September 23, 2015 #15 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Still toying with whether I should price match to this deal or not for my 11/5/16 cruise. If I do, I would lose my $50 promotional OBC and the price would increase by $40, but I would get the reduced deposit so that if I ever have to cancel, I wouldn't be out $400.

Would it be best for us to go ahead and book the deluxe ocean view category now, or could we just book an interior? Does it really matter? If they are out of the 5 person deluxe ocean views when we go to upgrade, then we will probably book an interior anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are out of the 5 person deluxe ocean views when we go to upgrade, then we will probably book an interior anyway. It depends on how much you're willing to spend now vs. later. Other than the trend of price increases I think the biggest factor you'll need to consider is the availability of 5 person cabins further down the road. I would do a comparison between booking one deluxe ocean view for 5 vs having two cabins with 1 Ocean view and 1 inside across from each other. That way you can book both cabins today for $200 down and add the 5th person later. It may come out to around the same price or save you some money, but you'll have a second bathroom as a bonus.

But perhaps Ill book another anyway, for that low of a deposit, why not get an early start while still paying off my next one. We booked a June cruise on the Breeze 12 days ago that required the $250pp deposit (ES). Just did a mock booking and the total price for the two rooms has gone up $110. Yeah not horrible, but an extra $110 to DEFER an $800 payment is nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the price goes down again after the reduced deposit sale, you'd still get the lower price, right? Edited September 23, 2015 by E&B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caitmac1 Posted September 23, 2015 #23 Share Posted September 23, 2015 WOOT! Just booked our next cruise for March! :D We'd been waffling about booking and waiting for next pay period for the deposit but the number of balconies was looking kinda skimpy so this sale let us go ahead and book. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
