How to put a hold on a cruise in the UK

[thedarklord]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can put a hold on a new booking on the UK site? Having just had our October cruise cancelled, I'm looking at getting a new booking setup, but want to chat to my wife first when she gets back from work, before paying deposit etc.
I know I've managed to do this before somehow by accident, just don't know how!

Thanks

You can setup a 3 day courtesy hold from the payment screen.  You need to go all the way through the booking process up until the bit where you pay the deposit but instead click the radio button for the courtesy hold.

Hmm, I don't see an option for that, the options I've got are just 'Pay in Full' and 'Pay Deposit Amount':

Sorry, my screen shows Courtesy Hold but it is the EU site rather than UK but we still deal with Southampton when we call.  Give them a ring they will be able to sort it out for you I'm sure

What Oct cruise was canceled?

All Pearl cruises from Athens were cancelled (in particular for us, the 17th Oct to Greek Islands and Istanbul, and the 24th to Israel).
The Jade is now sailing a different itinerary on those two dates from Athens.
Presumably because the Pearl is currently around Aruba, and the Jade is near Naples.

Thanks for the info. We are on the Getaway out of Rome Oct 25 and Dec 5 2021.

Stay Safe!
