Refundable deposit

[Vlad]

Guys, have a question. 

I've always booked with non refundable deposit option. 

Now I'm looking into 2023 and found refundable option, it say for additional $170.

If I cancel my booking, will I loose this fee of $170 ?

The amount is added directly to the cruise fare, not a separate line item. If you cancel, you would lose the amount of your deposit unless there is something else in play like Cruise with Confidence which allows the deposit to move to another booking, be issues as a FCC or whatever (if anything) is in that program.

You're confused me even more. 

My question was about refundable deposit fee. And you're saying I'll still lose my deposit?..

Sorry, forget what I said - that's what would happen for non-refundable. I should really have a sip of coffee this morning. 

For refundable deposit the extra amount is added to the cruise fare like I said, but you can cancel and not lose that money (subject to the cancelation schedule). If you do take the cruise, you paid the extra amount "just in case" you needed to cancel.
