Best Price...but Non-Refundable Deposit? No Thanks.

Sounds like a Private Sale for which is for specific customers and is tied to your Mariner number.  To see this fare online you have to be logged into your account AND drill down the booking to the page where your cabin is assigned.

 

 

Not so sure. I have checked sales before and they have been what I would call just"come on" ads. I had not received an email offer before deciding to do this sort of spur-of-the-moment.

We recently booked a Mexican Riviera for the end of this year with our PCC. It will be our 20th Anniversary. Turned out that there is a Mariner's unpublished fare that is cheaper than the non-refundable but is still fully refundable. We would never have known about it without talking to him. Sometimes it pays to make a phone call!

 

 

That’s what I think I booked yesterday. Nowhere does it say non refundable on the confirmation. I put a hold on it, I’ll phone and confirm the non refundable part before making a deposit.
