asalligo Posted August 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Good morning, I am considering booking my first MSC cruise. Reading the cancellation policy, am I correct that the deposit I am paying now is refundable until the 75 day mark? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted August 22, 2022 #2 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I learned the hard way that deposits made on YC suites are not refundable...period. Not that you asked that, but my point is, it's good to read the fine print. I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted August 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2022 It also depends on the length of the cruise. Most important......actually getting the deposit returned can vary from "quickly" to "still waiting..." whether booked in Yacht Club or not. All of mine have been returned even after the change that made Yacht Club deposits non-refundable... but others have not been so lucky. I am still waiting on a cancelled excursion to be refunded but so far that has been the only financial hiccup that I have had with MSC...but others have not been so lucky. Good luck. 🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selion Posted August 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Depends on the length of the cruise booked and whether if you are booked in YC. YC deposits are non-refundable, even though the booking confirmation still says it's refundable... So yes, your deposit is refundable up to 75 days prior to departure if you are booked on a cruise under 4 nights and not in a Yacht Club cabin. From booking confirmation (this one from this month): Cancellation Policy - EXCLUDING MSC YACHT CLUB & WORLD CRUISE:CRUISES 4 NIGHTS OR LESS: • Cancel 74-51 days prior to departure: Deposit Non-Refundable • Cancel 50-31 days prior to departure: 50% of the total fare • Cancel 30-16 days prior to departure: 75% of the total fare • Cancel 15-00 days prior to departure: 100% PenaltyCRUISES FROM 5-14 NIGHTS: • Cancel 89-61 days prior to departure: Deposit Non-Refundable • Cancel 60-46 days prior to departure: 50% of the total fare • Cancel 45-16 days prior to departure: 75% of the total fare • Cancel 15-00 days prior to departure: 100% PenaltyCRUISES 15 NIGHT OR MORE: • Cancel 109-61 days prior to departure: Deposit Non-Refundable • Cancel 60-46 days prior to departure: 50% of the total fare • Cancel 45-16 days prior to departure: 75% of the total fare • Cancel 15-00 days prior to departure: 100% Penalty Cancellation Policy - FOR MSC YACHT CLUB & WORLD CRUISE: MSC YACHT CLUB CRUISES 4 NIGHTS OR LESS • Cancel 51 days or more prior to departure: Deposit Non-Refundable • Cancel 50-31 days prior to departure: 50% of the total fare • Cancel 30-16 days prior to departure: 75% of the total fare • Cancel 15-00 days prior to departure: 100% PenaltyMSC YACHT CLUB CRUISES 5 NIGHTS OR MORE • Cancel 61 days or more prior to departure: Deposit Non-Refundable • Cancel 60-46 days prior to departure: 50% of the total fare • Cancel 45-16 days prior to departure: 75% of the total fare • Cancel 15-00 days prior to departure: 100% PenaltyMSC WORLD CRUISE: • Cancel up to 60 days prior to departure: Deposit Non-Refundable • Cancel 59-10 days prior to departure: 75% of the total fare • Cancel 09-00 days prior to departure: 100% Penalty From MSC USA Booking Terms & Conditions: https://www.msccruisesusa.com/-/media/us/documents/Booking-Terms-and-Conditions-050122.pdf Page 12 into page 13 MSC, contradicting itself since forever.
