Cowcrazy65 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I may be confused! Nothing new there!!! Is there a option to have a open booking? I see comments from people about doing a deposit but not officially picking a date/ ship??? Maybe I misunderstood? SORRY still pretty new to this!

DocLC Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 There is. I believe it's called a Future Cruise Certificate. However, the benefits are not worth it in my opinion as the onboard credit is very small. You're better off dummy booking a cruise--just pick a date well into the future--and then changing that booking to the one that you really want later. That way, you'll maximize the amount of onboard credit. Cowcrazy65 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 The option still exists (last time I looked in November) but the OBC is almost zero so the only benefit is a low deposit that can be used on a future sailing if/when you are ready.

Matt Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 As others have noted, there is the open booking option, but they have scaled back the discount amount you can get with it. You are better off just booking a specific cruise as far in advance as you can and moving it around as necessary until you find a sailing you want to go on.

andydlucas Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 If you book on board and live in the UK, and use a travel agent you will lose your deposit if you change the date. :angry: :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jticarruthers Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yes, unfortunately (or fortunately in some circumstances) the UK rules on changes and deposits are different than the US ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
