With the priori cruise dept, I believe there was an option to not pay in full until the due date when it is a transfer and you had already done the deposit, so that is no longer an option? I have a RCCL to transfer but the cruise isn’t until March 2020 so payment in full isn’t for quite a bit.
Well that sucks, royally! Why should I PIF when it’s not due until beginning of Jan. Do other travel agencies make sure do that when you transfer?
Thanks. I guess I’ll just keep calling in July when I transfer it. There is no way I am giving up my precious URs that early.
The cutoff date for transferring is dependent on the cruise line. With NCL it is 30 days to transfer to another agency. I don't know about other cruise lines. You would need to check with whatever line you will be booking to see what their policy is.so..... is there usually a cutoff date to transfer? and Chase now requires PIF when doing so?
I have never booked a cruise far enough out to be too bothered by the PIF. I usually book about 6 months out, and transfer to Chase 15-20 days later. That leaves ~5 months till cruise and NCL requires PIF at 120 days, so I am paying 4-6 weeks early for the convenience of using my UR's.
I booked my upcoming cruise 05/16/19 with NCL. I will be transferring to Chase around the 6th of this month and PIF for NCL is 6/29/19 for a cruise date of 10/27/19, so only paying three weeks early.
The remaining balance on my cruise is ~$3392 so I will need approx 226,200 ur's with my CSR to make the full payment.
