Nola26 Posted March 22, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 22, 2020 NCL's Peace of Mind policy says you are eligible for a FCC. If the sailing is after October 1st it's a refundable deposit. Now if you want to say you are covered under previous T&Cs prior to March 11th that's another matter. Did you get anything refunded like taxes and prepaids? When I canceled a couple of years ago I thought NCL was slow to return funds. Most of which was CN certificates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Boy are they out of touch. They evidently don't realize no one is upset at NCL for cancelling that a March or April cruise. As it relates to April and May departures, many people are hoping and praying that their cruises get cancelled. What people don't have is patience or understanding about why the cruises haven't been cancelled yet. It's like they write the exact opposite of reality. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted March 22, 2020 #5 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Still waiting to get our email for our cancelled cruise. I want to make see how they are handling our two Cruise Next deposits for this cruise. I am planning to rebook Encore for early next year🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBRB Posted March 22, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I received the same email so I called. You can still request the refund in lieu of the FCC beginning on 3/23 as per previous communications from them. It’s very misleading of them to send that email with no mention of the refund option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love my butler Posted March 22, 2020 #8 Share Posted March 22, 2020 It should be obvious to everyone NCL is doing everything it possibly can to avoid cash refunds. FCC's are free money in NCL's bank. It also staves off bankruptcy just a little bit longer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Rome flight was cancelled by Norwegian Air, unrelated to NCL, last week. Patiently have been waiting for NCL to cancel to get 100% refund from NCL, but becoming more impatient. If they dont cancel by 48 hours prior to departure, I intend to cancel with full penalty with NCL, opt out of Peace of Mind so I can get beverage and port charges refunded to my credit card. I'll file a CFAR claim with insurance for a 75% refund of nonrefundable base cruise fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they give you 25% bonus on the amount of certificates used: 500 = 125 credit added to FCC. So pretty good deal. I got this on my March 29 cancelled cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a great deal but I don't think I'll be ready to make that decision so soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My sailing was for 3/29) So may need to check out cruises for later in the year. On the other hand, are prices for cruises in Oct and later priced much higher to offset the 20%??

Rare AFS1970 Posted March 24, 2020 #17 Share Posted March 24, 2020 any idea what happens if you book a replacement cruise, and it gets canceled, what happens? I can believe they would give you a refund on the extra 70%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
