Harry Peterson Posted August 30, 2019 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I'd guess at the same 5% as last year. A lot of uncertainty caused by Brexit hitting holiday bookings and not a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyMichelle Posted August 30, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Princess have been offering £1 deposit, I wonder if P&O would follow suit? 5% is more likely. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie11 Posted August 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Princess was only for 1 day (+1 for top tier loyalty) I’ve booked with them for 2021 but doubt I’ll continue with the trip - depends what else becomes available when other lines release their brochures. It’s so easy to book at £1 but then cancel I wonder how this works for the cruise lines? I guess it’s overall positive, otherwise they wouldn’t do it but ...

jeanlyon Posted August 30, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Last year for a 19 night cruise the deposit was £100 It was of the reasons we booked early. The only 5% I remember was the reduction for past cruisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because for our 2 cruises booked last September we paid a 5% deposit on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid 5% deposit on our cruises booked last september too and have very recently paid a 5% deposit on one of the new Oceana cruises.I suspect P and O will offer the same low deposit again to encourage early booking.

Im sure we normally know by now! Must be because they’re busy sorting out the new Oceana cruises! If memory serves it’s normally mid September.

terrierjohn Posted August 31, 2019 #11 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Last year the launch date for Caribbean tier was 17th Sept., and we had had made our pre registration booking by 7th Sept with our TA; so we should know something this next week.

jeanlyon Posted September 1, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Quite right, £100 would not be enough for our deposit. It was of course 5% instead of 15%. Our deposit on £3076 was £154. My mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
