Timing for a change of deposit?

[skid10]

Currently booked with a refundable deposit. Does anyone know how long before final payment we can switch to the lower cost non-refundable deposit? Thanks.

Anytime before final payment date.

Thanks Bob!

If that's the case, I will look into that. I'm booked for HOTS in Sept 2019. That's too far away, and not enough incentive to have booked Non-Refundable, but closer to Final Payment I may look into it, once I know for absolute certain (or as certain as we can ever be) that I am going.....

 

That said, if you make the change to Non-Refundable, I'm assuming the reservation is re-priced to the current pricing in effect when you make the change.

Yes, you’re essentially cancelling and starting all over again.

I tend to agree with that, but if so it probably won't be worth it. We are sailing in May, with final payment date in February. I'll call about 6 weeks out and let you know how it goes.

Correct, current pricing and promos. Any promos you might have had previously would be lost unless they are still in force when you make the change.

I believe that in order to get the extra OBC you need to switch 6 months out.

Ooooohh. That could make a difference as well when thinking of switching over to the dark side.
