Ravensfan1973 Posted April 11, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2023 We've cruised 9 times but never did this and never really thought of if it's any advantage. Thinking of doing it on our next cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilkySal Posted April 11, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 11, 2023 OBC and $100pp deposit. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted April 11, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Here is a recent thread. The above is true if you book nonrefundable and not a short cruise. I booked refundable 2nd solo so paid $250 regular deposit and $75 obc. For a 7 day. It varys by what you book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taglovestocruise Posted April 12, 2023 #4 Share Posted April 12, 2023 And then you have 30 days to move the reservation to a TA and pick up additional perks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We booked a suite last month while on a cruise and paid the reduced deposit. Don't know if it was a different promotion or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rogueperson Posted April 12, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Some destinations don't have the reduced deposit either. I remember back in 2019, my friend booked a Bermuda cruise but for some reason, at that time, Bermuda cruises did not have the reduced deposit and still had the standard 250/person deposit.

There is a workaround to this however.We have on occasion booked less than a full suite while on board, received the reduced deposit perk and $100 OBC, upgraded to a full suite weeks later, and didn’t have to make up the other $150/pp deposit, but the OBC went up from $100 to $300.

Pratique Posted April 12, 2023 #10 Share Posted April 12, 2023 The last time I booked onboard (in 2019) I was entered into a raffle and won a few hundred dollars OBC. Do they still do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
