frankhi Posted May 6, 2023 #26 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) I think some people on this thread think you had a P2P fare, and don't realize you actually had a P2P prepaid fare that included an additional 15, 20, or 25% discount for paying upfront with no refunds. Many deal with TA's and aren't aware of that pricing option. Edited May 6, 2023 by frankhi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waldos Posted May 7, 2023 Author #27 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Doesn't make any difference. All P2P fares are excluded from this offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it, but with regular P2P you only have to put down a 25% deposit, and when you cancel you lose 15% of the deposit (so 3.75% of the cruise price). Which cruise is it?

Which cruise is it? My reading is that the deposit forfeited is 15% of the total cruise cost (not of the deposit amount) - for usual P2P this is from the date of deposit until 151 days, for D2D this kicks the 15% kicks in at 150 days, before this, the deposit is refundable less $250 admin fee which becomes a FCC. P2P Prepaid I understand is non-refundable (though can be transferred to FCC? I am not sure on this as it is not very attractive for me to save only few $000 that on the extra 10% on offer with the restrictions.)

Many of us are very happy and very accepting of the multifarious changes that first Covid and subsequently world unrest is causing to itineraries. The itinerary changes to eliminate Aqaba for embarkation was due to the difficulty of flying there. Getting from Amman to Aqaba is why I booked the 4 day pre-cruise land package. It was a massive oversight for Silversea to not recognize the logistics problem since they promote fares that include air Edited May 7, 2023 by Travel2Learn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it - my snip from the SS AU site shows that on a regular P2P it is 15% of the total cruise cost forfeited - so if the deposit is 25%, you will get in effect 10% of the cruise (and the deposit) cost back. I am not understanding the calculation that it is only 3.75% of the cruise cost you forfeit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted that, but agree with your interpretation of 15% of total. I got the 3.75% from 15% of the 25% deposit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
