Do you know that every cruise line has a future cruise deposit program? The benefits of utilizing this program is
1. Lower deposits-some as low as $100 per person-so less out of pocket comittment
2. Save additional money. Some cruiselines like Norwegian actually double the amount of the deposit. You pay $150 but they apply $300 as your deposit. That is $150 off !
3. You can get additional onboard credit. Depending on where you make your future deposit this credit might be applied to the cruise you are on or it is added to the next cruise.

Each program is a little different but this is truly one of the easiest and best ways to save some extra money on your next cruise.

Below is an example of Celebrity Cruises programs.. if you have questions just ask!
