upwarduk Posted April 3 #1 Share Posted April 3 (edited) We were sent the final invoice today,for our cruise on September 1st 2024 on Sky Princess, reminding us that our payment is due 29/04/24. Quite a few options listed how to pay, except a Credit Card! It does list a Debit Card, but I prefer using a Credit Card, as there is more insurance attached. I think I will be ringing the TA a week before to query this. We have always paid Celebrity cruises with a Credit Card.

WisCruiser2 Posted April 3 #2 Share Posted April 3 We've always paid with a credit card! Maybe it's different for UK passengers...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Justpackingmybags Posted April 3 #5 Share Posted April 3 Whenever I try to enter a UK debit card number the payment is rejected, but a credit card goes through immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought final payment is due 3 months prior to the cruise. We always log in to our Princess account and pay using our credit card.

I would check that as my balance payment for a cruise onboard Sky princess in September is due in June. Be wary, how did you receive this demand ? Recently I received a request for a payment for a hotel I had booked prior to our cruise in September. Firstly the payment is not due to be paid again until June and secondly just after the request I received an email stating that several people had requests for payments and it was a scam. Not saying yours is, but just be careful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail & Dan Posted April 3 #10 Share Posted April 3 would you be paying the T/A or Princess? Our T/A always Pays with the card, if you try to pay directly without going threw the T/A it may cause a problem ? Why would you wait till last minute instead of dealing with it now ? you should call them now before its a panic latter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare flying boat Posted April 4 #13 Share Posted April 4 Many times TA's request payment a week or two before Princess's actual final payment date, you may have to call the TA to make payment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why a credit card isn't listed as an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you book through a TA, you MUST make the payment through the TA. And I believe many TAs do as you said put an earlier deadline. They do this so if you miss their deadline, you still have time to make the final payment in a timely fashion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted April 4 #16 Share Posted April 4 (edited) I really can't believe that a standard credit card would not be accepted. Since you *must* go through your TA, Perhaps their website has just caught a virus from the Princess site....
