Extra fee to book with refundable deposit

[Nan_Sea]

Does anyone know how much the price increase would be to to change a non refundable deposit to refundable.? The Anniversary sale starting soon has that option but I am not seeing the cost. Thank you

When is the anniversary sale on and what are details if known.

When we booked our March 2019 cruise ( booked in summer) our TA quoted both the current non refundable and the refundable price.  For 2 cabins, 2 people per cabin, the price difference was over $1000.    We took the non refundable and purchased Princess insurance at time of deposit.

A sale means the price combined with amenities is less than the "regular" price. It does not mean a sale is better than the previous sale. Offhand, the 3-for-free sale that ended a week or so ago may have been a better sale and with refundable deposits.

Wow, this is not good news but hotels do it all the time. I hope that make the non refundable deposit reasonable.

Although Princess has Sales all year long , the next one up is not always the better deal .

Best to book an Early Sale then refare if something comes up better .
