Reduced Deposit Promo

[missingmaui]

We are looking at the Dream for the Oct. 9, 2021 Eastern Caribbean itinerary.  Currently, the required deposit is $500 under the Welcome Back promo from our January sailing.  Do you think that there will be a better reduced deposit promotion any time in the near future?  I don't mind paying $500 up front if I have to, but I'd prefer to put down less if possible and let that money earn interest before I make final payment in July 2021.  I think we've been spoiled, because we've always booked under $50/person deposit sales.

at some point there will be, but the cost of your cruise could also increase by then.

And if you want to pick your own cabin, the best ones may be gone already.

They just had one about a month ago which I booked under ....It was about 5 days long.

I don't know how much interest you are earning, but I'll assume a generous 2%.  Two percent of $500 for 16 months is just over $13 - less than a dollar per month. Just something to think about 😉

Also the reduced deposits are usually tied to Early Saver, so make sure your know all the rules about changes and cancellations with that Fare Category.
