This just in from Disney. These changes are effective Wednesday, September 8.

The required deposit for all Disney Cruises in the extremely popular suite category is increasing. For three- or four-night cruises, the deposit will change from $200 to $400. For six- or seven-night cruises, the deposit will increase from $250 to $500. And, for cruises that are 10 or more nights in length, the deposit will increase from $250 to $700. In addition, the deposit for room categories 4-12 will increase on cruises that are 10 or more nights in length from $250 to $350.

Deposits for suites for all cruises will be required within three days of booking rather than seven days. Deposits for staterooms in categories 4-12 will be required in five days rather than seven days.

Final payment for suites is changing from 60 days to 90 days, and final payments for staterooms in categories 4-12 will change from 60 days to 75 days for three to seven-night cruises, and from 90 days to 75 days for 10+ night cruises.

These changes are due, apparently, to problems with last minute cancellations.
