The Early Saver is comes with a lowest price guarantee, and does require a non-refundable deposit requirement, along with many other restrictions and limitations.  If you need or elect to cancel prior to final payment, Carnival will retain your deposit, less a $50 per person admin fee, for a future cruise.  After final Carnival will begin retaining the full deposit requirement and more.  The closer to sailing it is the more they retain up to 100% of the fare.
