Creator's Key Takeaways

Starting March the 10th, if you book a cruise that sails December the 1st or later, your final payment is due 120 days before departure.

Now, that's a full month earlier than the old 90-day rule.

But relax if you're already booked before March the 10th, as you're still locked into the 90-day deadline.

Most of these sailings leave from Southampton in the UK with fly cruise adventures from Barbados, Antigga, the Canary Islands and Malaga in Spain.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book before March 10th to keep the 90-day final payment deadline.
If booking a cruise sailing December 1st or later, be prepared to pay the final balance 120 days before departure.
