FYI. Our cruise was aboard the Sky Princess for 21 Mar. The cruise was cancelled about the 14th March. The FCCs were received after about two months but the refund of the taxes & port fees arrived today after about 17 weeks. I had given up on these since we had booked another cruise and Princess applied our FCCs without our asking and the credits appeared to include the amount for taxes and port fees. Couldn't understand their accounting but since the total was less than I expected I didn't inquire. Be patient!

Our experience regarding the return of Future Cruise Deposits (FCD). We had two cruises booked using FCDs, one for July 25 and the other late Oct 20. These were cancelled by Princess May 6th. We understood from their public messages that the FCDs would be returned to our CC accounts. In late May the FCD's had still not been returned when we booked another cruise with our TA (a big box agent). The TA was told by Princess that they would hold the booking without deposit for an extended period while awaiting the return of the FCDs. Between then and now I contacted Princess several times to

Hi Norris Just what we needed! We have been have enjoying reading about your travels for several years. With your permission we will board this fabulous cruise and share your adventures and fine dining experiences. We have never been to Alaska. It is on our Wish List. Please give our best to Carol. Cheers Louden

Thank you for the explanation. Wish Princess had explained this to us.. On another note we had cancelled another cruise that had been booked with a FCD and it was refunded as a FCC even though Princess had stated in a previous update FCD's would be returned in that format and extended if expired. Oh well ! Happy they are trying do the best they can. Must be a nightmare sorting through all the claims. Stay well everyone. Better days ahead. Louden

We did not Louden

We booked a 2021 cruise through our TA today and tried to use our FCC ( From a cancelled cruise ) since we did not have a FCD to apply. Princess would not allow this. We had to pay for the deposit and the FCC was then applied to the remaining fare. Frustrated that we were not able to use existing monies available in the FCC for the deposit. Has anyone else encountered this? Louden

Looks like you are having lots of fun ! Thanx for bringing a smile and sharing your " Deck Party " Think I will go out on my " cabin "balcony right now and watch the waves go by. Cheers !! Louden

Just checked our previously booked EZAir flights for our fall 2020 Europe cruise and and saved $600 on the same flights. Thank you to all for the valuable info on these boards. Cheers Louden
