Well ty first to RCL for approving my FCC extension. I was last on a RCL in Oct of 22. It was suppose to be a super fun trip to Aruba, Curacao and Labadee. Unfortunately I got covid ( first time) within the first 36 hours aboard the Allure. My wife and son a few days later. We were very nicely accommodated, but not the vacation we hoped for. We got a portion of the cruise credited. This is my first fcc and because I am a big idiot, didn't realize it had a 12 month expiration date to be used and sail before exp. We had lousily planned on a 2024 Alaska cruise and made plans to use the credit. Today when I went to look up and use the credit, I noticed the to soon exp date and quickly filled my shorts. I was not sure I would be able to swing a cruise by November. So while I was on the phone i was researching fcc and even further filled my shorts when I remembered the CWC ended a few days before my cruise therefore, possibly, ending my chances. Well as I waited on hold, Jade RCL rep, worked on reaching out to supervisors and the fcc department and their supervisors and in the end extended the credit to my 24 Ovation ots trip. I wish I could have used the fcc to cover the deposit but not the end of the world. I pay a bit more now instead of later.
So thanks Jade and RCL crews, and also again ty to you all ( helping me understand i was able to get the fcc in the first place and then about the CWC extension (even though I didn't book within CWC) and many other things in general) and I am again super excited to go on a bucket list vacation to Alaska.
