Ive already paid the deposit, do I have to eat that? I am thinking I do. http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo...icon_frown.gif

hi,
Can you elaborate a bit more

lbt43,

eating your deposit might result in stomach problems. http://cruise-chat.com/groupee_commo.../icon_wink.gif

lbt43,

It depends on when the cruise departure date is. The deposit can be fully refundable if you cancelled early enough. Otherwise it starts to lose an increasing amount as the departure date nears, until you lose the whole amount.

Thanks all. Ill call my agent monday and find out. How depressing.

As a travel agent I am under the understanding that deposits are NON refundable and only balances are refundable depending on how many days before the cruise goes. I don't know if you are in the UK or where but that is how our office works.

I just cancel a RCCL for a honeymoon couple and they lost their deposit.

Just thought.... read the conditions of booking in the cruise lines brochure. It should explain it all out for you.

here is a link telling you the lay out of what is their policy

Just found out we are still going! Whoooooo Hoooo!

MeShell,

But as the link you provided indicates (although not too clearly) the person can get their deposit back if the cruise is cancelled prior to the 90 day window. They lose the deposit once day 90 arrives.

lbt43,

Great news!
