CruiseOne announced on February 6th that they plan to cover deposits for their clients that book a cruise by February 29, 2012. This promotion is part of the companies’ 20th anniversary this year. This promotion is the first of an anniversary-themed sales blitz and will be marketed to consumers with “Buy Now, Pay Later” messaging. Consumers will pay back the deposit at time of final payment.
The advanced deposit will be capped at $500 per cabin, and is valid for most cruise lines with a few exceptions. The offer is not applicable on group bookings, river cruises or land vacations. It is also combinable with most cruise line sales, including military rates, but may not be combined with restricted/non-refundable cruise line promotions. Travel must be booked at least 100 days before departure and by December 31, 2012.
There is a processing fee of $24.99 charged at time of booking. As a CruiseOne agent, I normally do not charge a fee; however, with this promotion the fee will be charged which also provides a level of commitment on behalf of the consumer.
We are also in “wave season” which is the period between January and March, the industries heaviest booking period. It is also a time when cruise lines offer some of their best deals. Running this advanced deposit promotion at this time allows consumers to take advantage of some excellent deals without having to lay out much money up front. Perfect timing for those of us still recovering from the holiday season!
