hulamoon Posted July 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Does anyone know if current 123 is better than booking on board? Book today or wait until December. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0479 Posted July 30, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2014 When you book in board you can get the 123 plus extra OBC and lower deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop-JohnB Posted July 30, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) Booking on-board offers tend to come & go / change (in the same way that on-line offers do) But there is usually an EXTRA PERK for booking on-board Depending on WHEN you are looking at cruising next you could book under the on-line current offer and then cancel it when on-board if they are offering better deals / perks then Just make sure you have the latest info when you head to Future Bookings (get it off the Internet aboard... Current offers - Tuesday Deals - Sales - Captain's Club Specials etc) This is what we are doing for our May 2015 Bermuda Cruise Booking now with the 123GO Offer and the Captain's Club 25 Bonus Points Offer both ending July 31st On-board in December BEFORE Final Payment we will reevaluate... And cancel / rebook if necessary with a Future Sailings Consultant Hope this helps, Cheers! PS - 50% deposits are available to Captain's Club Members most of the time (on-board or ashore)... All you have to do is ask for it. Edited July 30, 2014 by Sloop-JohnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulamoon Posted July 30, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Yes it does help. Extra Obc then verses possible rate increase and the bonus points now but likely not then. I didn't realize we could cancel and rebook onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have moved it to a TA then you have to coordinate with the TA to cancel / release it... That can be more complicated at sea / on vacation when it comes to communications (phone calls, emails, fax etc) One more reason to be very aware of the fine print and all your deadlines (Final Payment Date - TA Transfer Deadlines etc) Cheers!
