2Oregonians Posted December 13, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I've tried the search tool with every wording I could think of, and can't come up with this answer. I'm sure it's been discussed, but I can't find it!! Sorry. So I'm researching a trip for several family members and myself and husband. I'm going through the online booking system and it says they take a deposit now, and balance due May 13. I can't find out HOW MUCH of a deposit without actually finishing the reservation, which I'm not prepared to do right now. My question is: How much of a deposit is required at booking NOW? Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickEk Posted December 13, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 13, 2012 In general, it's 20% of the cruise fare.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCC retired Posted December 13, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Find a TA that is having their Princess Cruise Night Sale (lasts a month) . These sales offer reduced deposits as well as other nice things like OBC , group rates , ect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted December 13, 2012 #7 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Contact the TA or Princess, sometimes they have reduceed deposit specials. $100 deposit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilliesMom Posted December 13, 2012 #8 Share Posted December 13, 2012 As a past passenger, we only paid 10% of the total fare for the deposit. Our friends who are NOT past passengers would pay 20%. You can always call Princess directly and ask. They are great and will NOT high pressure you to book a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner22aa Posted December 13, 2012 #9 Share Posted December 13, 2012 See the future cruse sales consultant when on board your next cruise. You each put down $100 bucks and have up to two years to use it. That money becomes your entire deposit required for the next trip and depending on the length of that cruise also gets you a OBC for between 50 and I believe 150 or 250 bucks. A no lose situation.

Trouble is, WE can pay the whole thing at once. The family going with us (who have never cruised) can't. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Coral Posted December 14, 2012 #12 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I would call a Cruise TA and ask when they are having $100 deposits. This helps a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Oregonians Posted December 14, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I would call a Cruise TA and ask when they are having $100 deposits. This helps a lot! Excellent. Thanks all. We've always paid up front for our past cruises, so I never knew how much deposit was required if you don't pay 100%. Didn't want to go so far as to put my credit card number in, so I asked you fine people! Cruise Critic to the rescue!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
