Son of Bare Posted July 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Can anyone help... When booking one of these whilst onboard another cruise, how much deposit do PO require? Most cruises are £50 pp but I think a larger deposit may be required for a world cruise or the grand adventure cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as previously posted that cruise will need the standard deposit, but not sure if you still get some extra OBC. The £50 deposit works for the 35 night cruises, and others in the standard brochure release, but ones that are considered to be world cruises or other longer cruises are not available on that offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a few facebook posts where people have had to pay 5% deposit when booking onboard for shorter cruises. I have only ever paid £50 even for 35 nights and less but led to believe that higher deposits are required for longer cruises.Offers do vary when aboard with significant amounts of OBC added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is interesting, people had got used to the £50 deposit, so will be a big loss if it now becomes 5% for some or all shorter cruises. Sounds like P&O have realised with such a small deposit people are likely to cancel and re-book when better prices are introduced, or cancel altogether if they have second thoughts. As you say though iffers have always varied and after all 5% is not that bad.. The Americans regularly seem to book a few cruises, then cancel of ones they decide not to do before non refundable payments need to be made, because they can get a full refund on deposits until a certain date, though I believe that depends on which state they reside.

Have I dreamt it, or are there new deposits for on board bookings, I thought it saw £50pp for cruises up to 14 days, £100pp up to 35 days and £150 pp over that.

Not quite right See this thread #8, although I still think it is full deposit on very long cruises. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2945631-booking-next-cruise-on-ship/#comment-65612217 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last month (June) we were charged £150 pp deposit for a 21 night cruise, was told that the £50 was for shorter cruises. In the past World cruise segments have been except from onboard deposit offers.

Yes that £50 would have been correct in October but not now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
