If I book a cruise with a placeholder and then decide I’d rather take a different cruise, can the placeholder be transferred to the new cruise as long as it is within the 2 year timeframe?
Yes. A cruise booked with a placeholder discount can be transferred and maintain the discount as long as the new cruise departs within 2 years of the placeholder’s original purchase. If you cancel a cruise, though, you will lose the placeholder discount.
Also, if the cruise has been transferred to a travel agency, that agency must make the transfer.

Technically no, the placeholder can't be transferred. Once the placeholder is 'used' to book a specific sailing, the placeholder goes away. What you can do is move to a different sailing, and the benefits of the placeholder will move with the sailing (as long as it's not a placeholder blackout date). But be sure you are moving to a different sailing, not cancelling and rebooking (or you then will lose the placeholder benefits and your $250 or $500 deposit will be refunded).
