Paying in instalments

[passy]

Hi! I'm thinking of booking a cruise for June 2017. I'm going to pay the deposits and flights when I book, but would like to pay off some of the balance each month rather than pay a lump sum when the balance is due. Does anyone know if I can do this please?

 

Many thanks!

Yes, as long as it's all paid by the final payment date they don't care how many separate payments you make to reach the total.

We are in the process of doing just that right now for a cruise in April '17. So far we have paid the initial deposit, one interim payment, additional payment scheduled for next month, and final payment due mid January '17. This is through our TA.

Or, you could establish a savings account at your bank and transfer funds on a monthly basis.

I do this all the times either with TA or Princess - mainly about every 3 to 4 months depending on how far out final payment is. Use various credit cards to get their points.

Sure, I do this on all my cruises. Pay some extra month so you don't have such a big bill to pay at the end. This is very easy to do, if you book directly from Princess. Just go to their website and make a payment.

I normally do not do installment payments, however American Express was running a promotion recently that if you spend $500 with Princess you got a statement credit of $100. So I called Princess and had them put $500 on our February cruise, very easy!

If you are planning to book flights using Princess EZ Air Flex, paying for your flights not associated with Final Payment is a different process you need to be aware of.

You can also add money to your on-board account before the cruise. We're cruising next summer & I'm going to start adding an amount every month to cover purchases.

Sure you can, I have a cruise deposit on two cruises coming up one in 2017 and the other in 2018 both with the sip&sail package, what I do is look at the months I have before final payment and divide the amount of my payment buy the total of months I have before the last one is due. The trick is not to bite off more then your budget can handle. It works good for me anyway!!! I do a trip every six months, one by ship and one by air, the one by air is always in Sept. lower rates kick in after Labor Day and most kids are back in school thus lower rates on almost everything else and less kids and the weather is still good but that's because I always go to Hawaii for my Birthday that month.:cool:

Yes you can.

We are making installment payments currently. Each weekend, I work at soccer tournaments as a referee. When I get home after the tournament is over, I take my pay from the weekend and make a payment on our Spring Break '17 cruise. Not only does it keep me (or my DW) from blowing the money, but it gives me extra motivation to get exercise chasing kids around a soccer field.
