It is not a good idea. You don't want to **** off your customers over a
couple of days.

They have to draw a line somewhere, otherwise why bother with due dates at all.

It seems to be human nature for some to wait till the last minute or
forget the the due date when they booked months in advance. That is why
they gave a few days grace. There was a reason they were not strict.
Why change now?

And it will make another reason for people not to book in advance.

Our travel agent always calls us a few days ahead of our due date when
we book early,that way we do not miss it.

When I book a cruise I always ask my clients if they would like the final
payment automatically paid from the credit card used for the deposit or
another card. Most cruise lines have the ability in their systems to store
the CC number and other information and automatically charge on the due
date. I have never had a client cancel when using this feature. If they
don't want to use this feature I do let them know about 5 days before. That
way if they want to send a check I can get it through before the drop-dead
date.

You have a good agent. A phone call or email a few days before the due
date is good customer service.

I have always booked with the premise that final payment date is the
absolute deadline, and am never going to leave it to chance.

Since I am a worrier I always call my agent about a week in advance of
the due date and say go ahead and charge my card. Over the 15 years
that I done cruises I have used different travel agents and most have
notified me a week or two in advance. After all they are getting a
commission so they want to get the payment in. Some did not notify me
in advance but I am pretty sure I beat them to it with my call.

There are probably people out there who put a deposit down and then
don't decide up to the final payment date to actually take the cruise
or never intended to take the cruise. That may be the reason for making
the rules stiffer. A few who abuse cause rule changes. But there are a
good number of laid back or forgetful people or busy people who wait to
the last minute to pay. The type that have a habit of getting to the
airport or train station just before they close the gate. They have
every intention to make the payment. With a large purchase like a
cruise I think they should keep a small grace period as customer
service.
