Booking ... On Line vs On Board?

[DisneyJen]

Greetings all!

 

Trying to  plan a cruise for May '21 for hubby's 60th  birthday.

 

I have found the cruise and cabin I want and have placed a courtesy hold.

 

We are sailing this May on the Summit in a CS .... so do I make a refundable deposit now and then meet with the Future Cruise Consultant to see if there is a benefit from onboard booking or do I just go ahead and book it?

 

Thoughts?

To lock up the Room you want, I would do the refundable deposit now. Then when you go on the cruise, if the pricing and offers are as good (or better) you can re book and also b get the on board credit for booking aboard.  If the pricing goes up you’ll feel smart.  No real way to lose.

There is also often a tiny benefit from booking on board. Then you transfer to your TA .
