If a lower fare becomes available after booking, guests who wish to access it must cancel and create a new booking. In doing so, any deposit already paid will be forfeited and cannot be transferred. If the booking has been paid in full, cancellation penalties may exceed the deposit and could result in a greater loss, in line with Holland America Line’s cancellation policy.
