Okay, we are getting ready to go on our first DCL trip in a week. I sort of know about the idea of booking on board for a discount, but am not quite sure how it all works.
First - how much should I expect to pay for a downpayment? I know it says 10% and searching around upcoming cruises it looks like the cheapest I could get is around 2500, so should I expect I'd be paying $250 for a dummy cruise down payment? I wouldn't probably be able to get any cheaper then that?
Second - I am planning to take this next trip with a friend, right now there would be two adults and three kids so we could all share a room, but I am trying to get pregnant so it is highly likely that by the time we'd take this cruise (looking at 2017), there will be too many of us for one room. In order to get all the discounts, would I have to book two rooms as our dummy, or could I add a second room later and still receive discounts and OBO?
Any questions I'm not thinking of asking or other advice? I really want to know going into this cruise how much I might need to put on my credit card to hold this future cruise, so I can plan ahead.
Thanks!
