needabreakcanada Posted April 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 29, 2012 We are thinking of changing our vacation this year to be a cruise instead. We will be booking a cruise for 2013 in less than a month. My question. If I book now for a Sept 2nd 2012 cruise and pay the $500 deposit - when is final payment due? I am trying to figure out if I will have enough to cover both cruise deposits and final payment on one cruise between now and September. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2funcruzin Posted April 29, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Final payment is usually due 60 days before you sail but it could vary by agent. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbles1209 Posted April 29, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 29, 2012 75 days before sail date is when final payment's due if I'm not mistaken.....depends on how long the cruise is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiveLAUGHLove21 Posted April 29, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I'm taking a five day cruise in Jan and the payment is due in full by November, that is also of 2013! I save $40 a week all year for my vacations. Cruising- is an extremely affordable vacation. Adding the drinks, shopping, etc is what is expensive! HAVE FUN! You should definitely try cruising. It is a truly unique and fun experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Banditswife Posted April 29, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 29, 2012 We cruise Nov 2012, final payment is due in Aug 2012. So I would think the 75 days prior to cruise is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needabreakcanada Posted April 29, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Just realized if we book a Sept 2012 cruise it would mean: April $500 deposit (for 2012 cruise) May $500 deposit (for 2013 cruise) June $600 final payment 2012 cruise and somewhere in the mix $620 for flights..... $2220 in 3 months!! eeeeegads!!! Guess the Sept 2012 cruise is out :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use a TA and make payments to them, allow extra time for them to get the payments to Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
