Also, historically, Princess only asked for deposits per cabin, not per person...so if you had a triple or quad it was the same deposit as a double. Now the 30% is calculated on the total for the cabin...something that could turn families away...
I would prefer they keep a lower deposit initially and add a second deposit half way between the initial deposit and the final deposit, if they are that upset about cancellations at final payment.

I am going to clarify a little...
By per cabin, I mean typically $500 per cabin based on the typical double occupancy for a 7 day cruise... $250 per person but ONLY for the first and second passenger.
and yes 30% per cabin total of the cruise fare as initially stated in the princess article...and this could be more than the old deposit based on first and second only! And, this is what I meant could turn families away...sometimes it is hard to come up with that initial deposit, and I do feel requiring a second deposit rather than a possibly higher initial deposit would be better |
