Orygungirl Posted April 1, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hello. My SIL and I are booked on an Alaska cruise leaving from Vancouver end of August. She is 75 and nervous about traveling on a cruise and we would like to cancel before the final payment date of April 19. I've paid a deposit of $500 using two cruise next certificates. If we cancel now, do those certificates just go back into my account to be used on my next (maybe?!) cruise. I notice that cruise is not even offered on the NCL website anymore, by the way. thank you for any info. I've never had to cancel a cruise before, nor used a Cruise Next certificate.

Comi.uy Posted April 1, 2020 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2020 If you ask for refund, they return to your account as you had them. If you use the FCC, you get the extra 25% on them and they go to the same FCC pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you are before final payment, they will just go back into your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonvoyagie Posted April 4, 2020 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2020 The difference is if you are before or after final payment. If you cancel before final payment you get your deposit back - if that was done in Cruise Next certs then the refund will be in the same. If you paid on a card it gets refunded back to the card. Usually after final payment (under the old plan) there was a sliding scale as to how much of what you paid you would get back. Under the new plan - if you cancel they give you FCC for the same amount as what you have paid. If NCL cancels the cruise they will give your 125% of your paid amount in FCC. I have read where if you also used Cruise Next for the deposit they simply return to your account to be used again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I got the FCC I can see exactly that. Person 1(me), got (50% of what was paid-250 from certificate) + 25% bonus from the total paid+cert Person 2, got (50% of what was paid) + 25% bonus from the total paid+cert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orygungirl Posted April 4, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I booked through a bigbox travel account and filled out a cancellation form on line. It stated that I would get 100% of my deposit back. The cruise leaves 8/31/2020. I think those leaving before May 11 get 125%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same process was done for me with my FCC however I'm not able to actually see my CN cert. as far as I can tell. NCL PCC assured me "they're there" but in times like these I like to see for myself. Edit - I found them! Didn't realize you have to actually click on "make a payment". My Cruise Next certificates are noted at the bottom of that page with their expiration date. Edited May 12, 2020 by TenForward Solved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Cruise Next certificates are noted at the bottom of that page with their expiration date. You can easily see all your Cruise Next certificates (and also any Future Cruise Credit if you have chosen that for a cruise cancelled by NCL) by clicking on "My account" on top of the page after you have logged in, and then choose "My account" again. First any booked cruises are listed, and then follows a list of any CruiseNext certificates or other credits,like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's because I'm in the US? This is what I see: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be what you suggest; that for me MyNCL is the European version and for you the US version - allthough I don't see any reason why there should be any difference when it comes to listing any coupons and/or credits as the rest of the page is looking very similar...
