FCC Question

[xmansmommy]

I have my first cruise on NCL coming up.  I saw that they're offering refunds or future credit.  I'm thinking cruise prices will go up after all of this.  I get it, they're losing lots of money right now and need to make it back.  My question is, if I booked the same cruise but on a different date, would I still get what I've paid for on my current cruise?  Meaning, if I paid for a mini suite would I still get that or, if the price I paid is now the price of an interior room, would I be downgraded?  I hope that makes sense.

The FCCs can be spent like cash at current market rates. There is no carryover of benefits, stateroom assignments, etc. If minisuites are more expensive in the future, you'll have to pay more for a minisuite or downgrade to a cheaper stateroom. If minisuites are cheaper you can upgrade to a higher stateroom category.

Thanks!  I figured that was the case.  I hope they don't go up too much but the longer they're out of service, the more money they'll need to make up.

Sure. I think prices will stabilize if and when the industry gets going again. It will be a full court press to fill cabins among all lines. The image of cruising has suffered tremendously over the past month, and it will take much longer than a month to repair the damage caused.
