bermudashorts Posted February 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Planning on booking our first longer cruise then normal. It is an 11 nigher and of course deposits are higher. $900. Do they do reduced deposits ever as a sale? or just the usual 60% guest, kids free stuff? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted February 6, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2019 No reduced deposit promos anymore, with the exception of a non-refundable deposit booking while onboard a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deposit for a non-refundable category of Junior Suite and below, booked onboard, would be $100 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FionaMG Posted February 6, 2019 #5 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I recently took advantage of a reduced deposit deal but it was on the UK website. It was £75 per person which works out at about $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point I suppose I should make the effort to find a reliable US TA since I keep reading about folks taking advantage of price drops. I'm just nervous about giving up control of my booking to someone who's so far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
