Final Payment Question

[Cruiser933]

I have a cruise booked for later this year. It is a four night cruise from Florida in a regular interior. I am in the US. I booked directly with MSC on their website. From the T&C, it looks like final payment should be due at 75 days. I received a 7 day warning that my cruise would be canceled if I didn’t make my final payment at the 90 day mark. Looking at my original confirmation, it also has a final payment date at the 90 day mark. Any thoughts on why the due date is not in line with T&C?

The T&C says "no later than 75 days", so MSC is allowed to collect earlier.  Always refer to your booking confirmation for the final payment date.

 

The real answer to your question?  MSC's IT just couldn't be bothered to configure their system to be in line with their T&C.

Despite what the T&C says, final payment for MSC cruises in the US seems to be 90 days. Should you cancel within 90 days, some amount of your payment will be refunded based on how far out you cancel.

I did a mock booking on a large online TA site. They show that final payment is due at 75 days. I will definitely be calling MSC before the 90 day mark so I don’t lose my deposit.
