Thorben-Hendrik Posted December 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hi, If you book a non-ref and later have to cancel – they will give a FCC -> OK So can you use that for ANY cruise you already booked (before final) or does it have to be a new booking that you have to apply immediately?🤔 Thank you!👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted December 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Can be used on an existing booking. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugtech Posted December 17, 2018 #3 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Must be on a cruise that sails within a year of the day you cancel the previous cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be used on a cruise that sails within that year - it just has to be applied to a cruise before the actual FCC expires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexisV Posted December 25, 2018 #6 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Yes, yes it does. That would be the year I was referring to 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugtech Posted December 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2018 The way it was explained to me was that I had to use it on a cruise that sails within a year from the day I cancelled. It did not matter to me, make it a point to cruise at least twice a year. But It does make more sense to cancel right before final payment is due to give yourself more time to use the FCC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeyVictoria Posted December 25, 2018 #8 Share Posted December 25, 2018 So... if I would lose the amount of deposit in any case, it seems like a good idea to pay only the deposit until the actual final payment due date and avoid an FCC totally if I cancel rather than pay in full at that time?

crystalspin Posted December 25, 2018 #12 Share Posted December 25, 2018 So if my deposit was $100 (non-ref) per person per leg of a B2B -- there is no FCC to be had if I cancel no matter when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct For the short cruises where the deposit is $100 pp that is what you would lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your deposit was for a 7 day cruise $250 pp for a total of $500 you would lose $200 if it were 2 people and get a FCC for the $300. If you had paid in full you would get a credit for the rest of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexisV Posted December 25, 2018 #15 Share Posted December 25, 2018 If you have paid the deposit in full before final payment and cancel, you are getting an FCC for the amount of deposit that was not withheld, but you would receive an actual refund for the balance you paid on top of the deposit. And yes, Crytalspin - if your deposit is only $100, you just lose your deposit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize the FCCs were for the difference between $100 and the actual amount of the deposit, I thought they were for the total that had been paid up until the time of the cancellation minus the $100 pp forfeited. For my 4-night $100 pp deposit cruise, I can cancel and walk away from the $100 pp or I can pay the balance and cruise (my preference). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springaussie Posted December 25, 2018 #17 Share Posted December 25, 2018 If someone got ill and could not cruise again and had 10 cruises deposits booked in advance, am I right in saying they have lost the whole 10 deposits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kccrzr Posted December 27, 2018 #21 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Very informative thread. Thanks for posting. We have a cruise booked for late June out of Civitavechia and I am thinking about cancelling because airfare to Rome is sky high at over $2k per person - cancellation is more palatable since we can apply the FCC to an existing reservation.

Sea Dayze Posted January 22, 2019 #22 Share Posted January 22, 2019 How is the FCC sent? Postal service.... email.... some other way? I had to cancel a cruise a couple of weeks ago, and am curious as to what I should be expecting. We made a $500 deposit, so expect that we should be getting a $300 FCC, right? Thanks!

Yes, but it should be $150 for each person in the cabin - not all $300 to you. You should call - the FCC should be available by now to use on another booking.

Thorben-Hendrik Posted April 3, 2019 Author #25 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) Just another FCC question - as the seem to float around these days....🙄 Can a FCC amount be used for 2 cruises? Example I get an FCC for 2K - can I apply that to 2 cruises for 1K each?🤔 Thanks! Edited April 3, 2019 by Thorben-Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
