oatsxox Posted June 30, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2023 We booked a cruise for next October (2024) while we were on our cruise in December, so we got to take advantage of the reduced deposit - so we paid a $200 deposit rather than $750 (for 3 in a junior suite. Seems like we sort of jumped the gun on booking that trip, because I'm now pregnant & due in January 2024, so, unfortunately, I need as much vacation time as possible in 2024 to be able actually take leave without it being unpaid. I know there's a $100/person change fee and if you cancel, you lose your deposit. But what happens if I cancel a cruise that had the reduced deposit? Do I luck out and only lose the $200? Because that would be the cheapest scenario for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted June 30, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Yes, you'd lose the $200.00 if your deposit was non refundable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GetToLivin Posted June 30, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 30, 2023 If you cancel you'll lose it, however, I had to rebook a cruise where I paid a reduced deposit and got "lucky" when they just let me roll the deposit over into a new booking even though I was outside the window to do that. It was not expected, but a "one-time exception" I lucked out on, you might, too, if you can swing an earlier cruise date (baby-moon?) 🙂 Congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, not to lose $200, but that it wasn’t somehow more (but it’s not like they could just randomly charge more). I just had to make it make sense in my head haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t cruise after 24 weeks, and actually have one planned at 23 weeks with just me and the toddler while my husband does his own thing. Baby-mooning in Iceland a month later though! I’m planning to try to push it to January 2025, when my PTO replenishes again, and is only a couple months off from the original trip. Plus we always love leaving freezing NJ for a quick trip to the Bahamas in winter! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sianli Posted July 1, 2023 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2023 I am trying to remember what is the timeframe that you can change a cruise you booked on board without losing any money? One or two months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
