When I searched online I see that Carnival offers a cheaper down payment, why is that?


There are options to pay a lesser amount however please keep in mind you deposit will be NON-REFUNDABLE, but if you would like to book one of those deals please let me know and I can explain all details.


If I choose to go with the cheaper deposit how much will it be per person?


Depends on when you book and which offer is available at that time.  For example right now Carnival is running a deal in which the deposit per person would be $75 but remember it’s NON-REFUNDABLE and NON TRANSFERABLE.  Which means once you book not receive a refund for your deposit.  


Do I have to pay Gratuities and how much will it be?


Yes, you will have to pay gratuities and you either pay before you go or they will be added to your room once onboard.  Gratuities are $85 per person.  


Can I book my flight through Carnival?


Yes, Carnival offers a program called Fly 2 Fun and once you receive your booking confirmation number you can add flights by creating an account and then you would goto Manage My Booking to pick your travel dates, preferred airline and flight schedule.
