Paul Strut Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Hello, Last year I went in my first cruise ever, a Mediterranean cruise on Brilliance and I paid the full amount of the cruise and have no info about deposits and how they work. So, for example, I want to book a cruise for next year in September that is now 909 Euros and I have to pay a deposit of 500 euros. If the cruise gets expensive or cheaper in the meantime, I have to pay the remaining balance from the 909 euros or the price of the cruise in the day -500 euros. I`m asking because I know for the Alcoholic Package if you buy it and if the price gets down, you can refund it and get it cheaper. Thank you guys!

amanalo217 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 You pay the remaining balance from the time you booked the cruise. If price goes down before the final payment date you can reprice the cruise to get the lower price. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Also, be sure to get an invoice that shows credit for deposit paid and remaining balance. The invoice will show if you've prepaid gratuities in case they go up. As long as they are listed on the invoice you don't really pay them until final payment date. Recommend using a travel agent who will get all invoices for you and answer questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steverk Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Definitely check with a travel agent. All of the advice in this thread is correct for sailings booked in the United States, but I'm not sure about Europe. I've heard repricing isn't possible in Europe.

cedricmr Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 I am French but I always book with RC Spain (because I am close to Barcelona). Repricing also works WAAAYTOOO and steverk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FionaMG Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 It definitely depends on where it was booked. I know you can't reprice in the UK and you can't where I live (Portugal) either. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
