That was part of your placeholder, it's a 10% deposit (instead of the usual 20%) on cruises of 7+ nights.
Still less than 10%!
Should have been 870 paid 435
Sorry, the numbers don't mean anything without the break-down. Deposit is a % of the fare, not the total cost (so excluding taxes and fees). Just a quick peek at Aug. 2026 Treasure cruises and it looks like that could be about right, depending on category and number of passengers.
870/2=435. That tracks correctly to me if 870 was what 20% would have been.
Exactly! It doesn't mean you don't have to pay the full deposit, just that it's being deferred. I guess it is a benefit for some people. I'd rather pay it all at one time and not have to worry about it. It makes the balance of the cruise fare seem lower when that's due!
Yes I get that I need to pay it but here’s the benefit to the reduced deposit that money sits in my bank account earning interest for me and not Disney!!!Exactly!

It's a benefit if you have to cancel and all you lose is the deposit or if you cancel because a better GT rate came out and you only lose the deposit. If you are booking far in advance and don't want to commit, but want to book just in case it's also an advantage.Exactly!

Are you sure? I thought people have reported losing the full 20% even though what they paid as deposit was 10%.
I've only lost 10%.
