Does the sale mean that they reduce the deposit, or that they actually pay half of it?

For example is it:

a. $1000 cruise -$250 deposit pay $125 deposit and owe $875

or

b. $1000 cruise- $250 deposit pay $125 and owe $750


i'm assuming its option A but some of the wording confused me! Thanks in advance.

HI
It means you will pay the reduced deposit NOW when you are booking but you will end up paying everything before the cruise.
A good thing about this is that you dont have so much money tied up for "x" amount of months.

I also see you are new at CLF!!! Welcome to our forum.
You might want to pass by the "introduce yourself" section and say hi to the other wonderful members here
