Dec. 2007 vs. Jan. 2008? Cancel reservation?

[Fairy_Tale_Bride]

I am looking at booking a cruise for Dec. 2007 (not Christmas) or a Jan. 2008 (not New Years) and was wondering if anyone had any opinions if they think the Jan. will be cheaper than the Dec. cruise? I know they haven't released the 2008 sail dates yet. Also, can you cancel your cruise and get your deposit back, or no? Thanks!

For categories 1-3 if a cancellation is made up to 90 days prior to sail date you get a full refund. For Categories 4-12 you need to cancel 75 days prior to sail date to get a full refund. If you have to cancel later than that you lose some or all of your deposit depending on how late you cancel. I would suggest doing a 'dummy' booking on the DCL website. On the page that says 'REVIEW QUOTE' you will find the 'terms & conditions' that has all the info. Also when I had to change my cruise dates, DCL offered to transfer the deposit from the old ressie to the new one. HTH

they've changed the policies regarding cat 1 -3 ... deposits are no longer refundable, at any stage of the game ... the only thing you can do is transfer the deposit to another reservation.

So, are the policies still the same for the others, cat 4-12?
