Dwayne - Thank You for the info update! It can be a big help in our future cruise planning-especially as cruise fares and the costs of add-ons continue to rise!
The new Early Saver is great if you know for sure you are going. The deposit is non-refundable is the catch. I saved quite a bit doing this. They will let you change it for a fee and restrictions apply as usual. They will protect the Military rate with this option is what they told me.
