Booking Future cruises onboard

[pipedreams62]

If you book a future cruise onboard for the $100 deposit. Once you decide on a cruise and want to use your own travel agent,do you have to pony up more money or does the $100 hold the cabin?

 

For example if you book onboard and give them $100 and a month later pick your cruise and your personal travel agent wants $500 deposit. Does the $100 work?

 

have I totally confused?

 

Thanks

$100.00 per person for the first two guests in the cabin is all you need, but it's not valid for the World Cruise, Grand Voyages or segments thereof. Your travel agent should NOT be asking for any additional deposit.

 

That $100.00 is not refundable, but should you place a deposit on a cruise and then have to cancel the cruise prior to final payment, that $100.00 future cruise credit will go back into your Mariner account. It's valid for four years.

The only time (as far as I've heard) that you'd need to add to the deposit you made on board is if you decide to use that deposit for a 'Grand Voyage'. But short of taking one of them - no, your TA should NOT be asking for a larger deposit.

 

From our letter when we did an on board 'open' booking:

 

• Your Future Cruise Deposit will be the only deposit needed until final payment.
  
• Should you choose to purchase CPP/P, this will be due at the time of booking.
  
• At the time of confirmation the appropriate shipboard credit will be applied to your booking.

Thanks so much for the info. This sounds like a win win situation.
