Booking & Reservations
- Question
- Can I reserve a cruise with just a deposit?
- Answer
Yes as long as the reservation is not within final payment. The size of the deposit is determined by the cost of the cruise.
Your full and final payment depends on the length of your cruise, the embark and debark port, and if you are staying in a suite/concierge stateroom or a non-suite/non-concierge stateroom:
- For cruises less than 10 days where the Embark or Debark is a U.S. Port, payment for Suites/Concierge staterooms must be made 90 days or more prior to departure and for Non-Suite/Non-Concierge staterooms payment must be made 75 days or more prior to departure.
- For cruises of 10 days or more and cruises less than 10 days where the Embark or Debark is a non-U.S. Port, payment for Suites/Concierge staterooms must be made 150 days or more prior to departure and for Non-Suite/Non-Concierge staterooms payment must be made 120 days or more prior to departure.
Please note that making advance arrangements—such as booking port adventures, making Palo reservations or registering for children's activities is dependent on the reservation being paid in full.
