Creator's Key Takeaways

The Blue Friday special that Princess has right now is their early Black Friday special.

Using that blue Friday promo pricing that they show with it only allows a non-refundable deposit.

I don't see a huge difference in the price quite frankly.

Once you book that and you put down that deposit that's non-refundable, there is no going back.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Start looking for Black Friday cruise deals now, as they are being released early.
Read the terms and conditions carefully, especially regarding deposit refundability.
Pay attention to the difference in pricing between non-refundable and refundable deposits.
Consider your schedule and opportunities when booking, not just wave season.
If you book with a non-refundable deposit, understand that you cannot change it later.
