Mariner OTS 46 nite "around the horn" - group spac

I've posted my group space in Cruise Deals (https://cruisefreekforums.forumotion.com/Cruise-Deals-f45/Mariner-OTS-Around-the-Horn-2009-Group-Space-t363.htm)

Hi host Ivanova,

I might be interested in booking all three legs - have to see if I can get 6+ weeks off from work. Anyhow, my question is, I"m a little confused on the deposit situation. Is the $1350 deposit just until September or is that good until December?

Marianne,

If you book into group space you have until 12/15/2007 to pay the $1350/room deposit. If you are booked into an individual reservation, even if you are then pulled into group space, the deposit is required in 7 days.

And the deposits are refundable up until the final payment dates (in Oct/Nov 2008).

I have to admit I'm a bit confused myself. I read the press release in the "Ajani" blog and my question is - is the $1350 due for all three legs and that's it until final payment OR is it $1350 due now, another $1350 in December and then final payment?

And, if i say i want group space, is that all i have to tell you? no deposit until december? I'm really confused

Evan,

The reduced deposit is $450 per room, per leg for a total of $1,350 per room for all 3 legs combined. The reduced deposit only applies to bookings for all 3 legs. If you book one or two legs only, you have to pay $450 per person per leg.

If you book into existing group space, the deposit is due 12/15/2007, and then that's it until final payment (Oct/Nov 2008). For example, I have suites, D1 balconies, and inside rooms in my group space. If you want an F ocean view room, it would have to be booked as an individual reservation with the $1,350 due in 7 days (and then nothing else until final payment), and then it can be pulled into the group space to receive the amenities.
