dchip Posted November 2, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2014 We have an old FCC that will expire in January 2015. We want to book the Voyage of the Vikings for 2016. Will HAL extend the FCC until the date of that voyage is announced? Thanks, Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestyling Posted November 2, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Probably best to call Seattle and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted November 2, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) We have an old FCC that will expire in January 2015. We want to book the Voyage of the Vikings for 2016. Will HAL extend the FCC until the date of that voyage is announced? Thanks, Denise I think you may be ok. My TA recently told me that HAL extended and FCD with a phone call for a client, so by all means I would call and ask. I think the key is to call before it expires?

sail7seas Posted November 2, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 2, 2014 You likely can use it to hold a 'future cruise request'. In the past, if we wanted to book a particular cruise before it was available for booking, we would put a deposit to hold the cabin of our choice and the deposit would be applied as soon as the cruise was available for booking. They likely would do that for you with a FCD (FCC = Future Cruise Consultant). Please let us know what they tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare richwmn Posted November 2, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 2, 2014 If I'm not mistaken, the FCC has to be applied to a cruise (cruise booked) prior to expiration but the cruise does not have to be taken before expiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is the cruise they want to use it for is not yet available for booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchip Posted November 2, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Thanks Everyone. I will call tomorrow. Sail you understood completely. Thanks for the information. It would be wonderful to be able to reserve now. :D We will be taking this cruise for our 50th wedding anniversary. We wanted to do something very different but didn't want to have to fly long distances. California to Boston is a lot shorter than San Francisco to Sydney which is what we had booked with Princess. Excited to come back to HAL for this special occasion. I'll let you know the outcome. Cheers, Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't say congratulations, just yet. :) That cruise is very popular and as you know only offered once a year. I think they may let you put your FCD down now to hold the cabin of your choice/or guarantee of your choice. Please do let us know. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchip Posted November 3, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I called Seattle and at first was told they could apply my FCD right now to the Voyage of the Vikings 2016 cruise. I received a Confirmation number. The rep then called back within two minutes to say, he wasn't able to apply the FCD to the cruise. He did say that he would make sure it was noted that we would be able to use the credit when the VOV sailing was announced. He also said we would receive an email to let us know the booking was available. this works for us. I was very pleased with the Customer Service I received. Thanks for all of your input. Looking forward to sailing with HAL again! Cheers, Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windsor26 Posted November 4, 2014 #14 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Normally if your FCC was for 2 years they will definitely extend it for a further 2 years but if it was originally for 4 years you may be out of luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
