MSC-Do they ever offer reduced deposits?

[WannaCruise365]

Hello

I was wondering if MSC runs reduced deposit offer... I want to book b2b and don’t want to deposit $800 for cruises so far out. Thank you. 
 

Maybe Black Friday sale?

I’ve not seen MSC offer such offers but a TA might do. Then again I wasn’t looking at MSC last year so I don’t know about Black Friday.

On occasion hey run a $98.00 deposit sale. They've done this before, but it seems that the more entrenched in the U.S. market they become, the less they give.

I use a TA in Canada and my refundable deposit was under $130 for 3 week cruise.

Maybe reduced deposit with group bookings. Check with a TA.

Yes they offer reduced deposits every now and then. 2 of my 4 cruises with MSC in the last 3 years have had the $99/pp deposit.

I had a $49pp deposit (1st 2 guests) once. Seeing $98 paid vs. the remaining balance used to make me laugh.

...yup. 

But as long as they are a better deal than the competition, I won't complain. NCL Haven deposits are usually $1500-$2000 total.
