lauren0309 Posted May 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I saw on cruise I'm thinking of booking. It says non-refundable deposit. What is the benefit of that? If I cancel or change my booking date there is a $100 fee per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see the differnce, look at the cost both ways, with refundable and non-refundable deposit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted May 21, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 21, 2019 In the event you need to cancel/change your booking to a new sailing you lose 100 off your deposit then can get FCC toward the new booking. The FCC needs to be placed on a new sailing or if one is already booked then by filling out the form & getting the FCC Certificate it can be applied to an existing booking. I did that when moving to the Freedom. I lost the deposit and had to do another deposit for the Freedom but received 600 in FCC toward the freedom Cruise off the previous CX Allure sailing. we were doing a b2b so received 300 off each Allure sailing.

At that point you will see the price difference. Also, refundable deposit is not available for Grand Suites or better, or guarantee categories.

sfaaa Posted May 21, 2019 #6 Share Posted May 21, 2019 RCCL used to offer some OBC if you book under NRD. They have since taken this little perk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still OBC for a non-refundable deposit booking, but only if the booking is made onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the price for a refundable deposit different depending on the sailing? For my most recent cruise it was $199 more for a refundable deposit, and I was thinking that might be a set amount.
