[George C]

I bought next cruise certificates on board a couple of years ago. My certificates disappeared. The numbers I had were given to other people. Since a couple of years were gone due to the pandemic, I could do nothing. No one found an explanation for this.

Just a FYI that list is specifically for nonrefundable deposits. When george asked about a suite and was answered it was for a suite which has a nonrefundable deposit. Suite deposits are now nonrefundable. 

 

For instance refundable for a balcony is 75.xx. for me they rounded down to $75. Another got $76. And refundable pays the full deposit. Be careful about assumptions.

From what I remember suite deposits have not been refundable for several years even before Covid . We always have insurance.

Yea and ourusualbeach beach knew you booked suites. So he answered accordingly. 

 

But the obc for refundable vs non refundable obc is different and deposit amounts.
