Switch FCD from one cruise to a different one?

[beannie]

Well, I'm confused. We booked a 10 day cruise and used our FCD on it. Then we booked a 11 day cruise. Can we have our TA switch the FCD to the longer cruise(more obc)??

:confused:

Did you cancel the other one?

If not is it after final?

Is it a non refundable deposit?

 

All you can do is ask.

Once an FCD is used, it is used. Only way to use it again is to cancel the first cruise. I'm confused as to why anyone would think it could be transferable.

 

Princess has a policy in place to keep people from gaming the system: if you cancel a cruise that was deposited with an FCD, the value of the FCD will be reinstated to your Circle account--but not the OBC benefit. You only get one bite of the free OBC pie per FCD. Which is how it should be.

We have canceled a cruise, had the FCC returned to our account and used it, along with OBC, on another cruise. That was a couple of years ago. Has it changed?

If you don't Cancel the original reservation # but rebook the reservation # to a new cruise , then

you should retain your reduced deposit & the Future Cruise OBC .

You have to cancel the booking on which you used the FCC/FCD first before it can be applied to another booking. It cannot be "moved" from one booking to another as long as the original booking is still active.

Ok..got it. Thanks everyone.

No.

Today we "changed" the date of our November cruise. The FCD and OBC was used for the new date. This was done all in one phone call (Along with a refare of a May cruise, moving our son's booking from my husbands account to mine and asking questions regarding Princess gift cards. Our TA really works for their commission..lol)

After further conversations with a Princess call center rep, and then my TA, we were able to switch the FCD. It was doable because the FCD was purchased before either of the two cruises were booked. So this time it worked out.

I've done it before ... I changed my FCD to a cruise that was longer / better cabin type and it was no hassle at all. I got a better OBC by using it this way. I just had to put money down on the previous cruise that I booked. When I called, I explained why I was doing it and they didn't act at all like I was gaming the system. Sometimes, I think the reps are quite happy to help you get the most bang for your buck. I am not sure why everyone kept telling the OP it couldn't be done. Glad to see it worked for the OP, too.
