Deposits & Payment Schedules:
At the time of booking you will be able to see what the monthly payment is and how many are required. Monthly payments are automatically charged to your credit card, but it is your responsibility to notify Atlantis should you desire to change your form of payment, or your initial card is no longer valid. Please note that should you miss a monthly payment, certain penalty fees will accrue in addition to the payments themselves.

Option 1: Standard Deposits & Final Payment
This plan offers an initial deposit and up to 2 installment payments thereafter depending on when you make your reservation, with the final balance due 90 days before departure. The payment schedule is as follows:

            25% Deposit Due at Booking if more than 181 days prior to departure.

            25% Second Desposit Due 180 days prior to departure 

            Balance Due at 90 day prior to departure

If a booking is made within the 180 or 90-day window, the earlier deposits would be required at the time of booking as well.

Option 2: Monthly Payment Plan
This plan allows guests to spread payments over a period of time which must be automatically charged to your approved credit card, with a low initial deposit. Please note that on this plan the deposit is non-refundable if the booking is cancelled or payments are missed. There is no additional charge for the monthly payment plan. Here’s how the plan works.

            $200 non-refundable deposit due at time of booking

            Equal monthly installment payments due until 60 days prior to departure

Monthly payments are due on the 1^st day of each month, with the final payment due 60 days before departure, regardless of the date of the month.

Option 3: Pay in Full
You are welcome to pay in full for your reservation at the time of booking. Certain suite categories and promotional fares require full payment at the time of booking. In some cases, we may also offer incentives to pay in full.

In all cases a deposit must be paid and accompany your reservation to confirm your space on any program.  If you are paying by credit card, payments must be automatically charged to an approved credit card as indicated, unless Atlantis is notified at least 5 business days before such payment is due. If you are paying by check or bank transfer, please make sure your payment is received by the date required or your reservation is subject to cancellation without any requirement that Atlantis provide you advance notice.  Failure to make timely payments of any reservation will cause your reservation to be cancelled without notice and all amounts paid to date shall be held by Atlantis in accordance with Atlantis’ cancellation policies.

Certain categories and/or promotional fares may have more restrictive payment terms and will be indicated on the individual confirmation.
