Henk123 Posted December 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) I am looking for a 2016 cruise and see several 2-for-1 Deposits offers. But I don't understand what that means. Maybe it is a term that I can't translate to Dutch. Please can someone explain it to me? Edited December 12, 2014 by Henk123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portolan Posted December 12, 2014 #2 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The normal deposit is 15% per person (I think, based on a cruise with have next year). 2 for 1 deposits means you'd only pay the deposit for one person. The cruise will cost the same in the end, but you don't have to put as much money down when booking. Also has benefit if you cancel in the timeframe where the deposit would be forfeit.

DaveFr Posted December 12, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The normal deposit is 15% of each fare. So, if the fare is $10,000, the normal deposit would be $1,500 per person or $3,000 total. Under the 2 for 1 deposit scheme, the deposit is only charged against one of the two fares. So the total deposit due would be $1,500. Hope this helps.

Henk123 Posted December 12, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Thanks for the quick reply. Now I understand. ;) So it is not a discount but I don't have to pay so much in advance when I book directly by Regent. Here in the Netherlands our travelagents have there own rules about deposits.
