I just made our final payment today too! Only 62 more days to go. I don't know if I was more nervous booking the cruise or actually paying it off. Now I just have to chill for another 8+ weeks and we'll be on our very first cruise. I do agree with you, ktsj07, the advice that everyone has given has been first rate. :D

Help me with this, please. I booked our cruise only 7 weeks out so I had to pay in full at the time of purchase. But what is the normal pay schedule like? What does it cost to initially book a cruise?

 

Thanks!

Wow, that really makes cruising so much easier to afford than a normal vacation. My husband is the type of person who likes paying for everything cash, so if we can book something a year in advance with only a deposit, then save the rest of the money over the next year, he'd be far more inclined to book that Mediterranean cruise I've been eyeing!

 

Thanks! Oh, is it the same for all the lines? Anybody know? Or is this just Carnival's policy?

The earlier you book it the more time you have to pay on it and vice versa if you book it closer to the date you will have less time to pay on it. So if you and your husband book your next one a year away you have like 2 months before the sail date to pay the balance in full. Lets say you book a cruise for July 2008 the balance will probably have to be paid in full around May of 2008. That's just an estimate. A deposit is due when you book the cruise.
