Can I apply 2 x FCC to one cruise

[coffeekid]

Does anyone know if I can apply 2 separate  FCC’s to one cruise?

Answer seems to vary depending on when/who you call- kinda like many other issues.

Ditto what Biker said- one poster was told yes yesterday and then another reported that they could not do it.

I'm planning on applying 2 then I read here someone posted they cant. I'm going to be very annoyed if I go to apply my fccs and they say nope, gotta pay cash, and i have a unused fcc in my pocket.

 

I booked 4, if you count a 4/5 b2b just to mostly use up fccs. Usually dont book ahead of time. I'm a last minute Booker usually. Book and leave in a few weeks is my style. These fccs are driving me crazy.

I had two small FCC ($150 each) that I tried to apply to a single cruise booking just before the virus stuff started. I was told I could only use one per booking. YMMV.

this seems like it might be difficult because I thought you could only apply the remaining FCC to the next cruise after the prior cruise completed?     Makes me think they are going to need some new rules for all of this FCC floating around because what you WANT to do seems totally reasonable and should be achievable in these circumstances.

That's my plan. The b2b is in april. Apply one fcc to each.

 

October is the 7 day that the remainder of the 2 fccs will more than cover. Donate the remainder to rcl.

The okay to apply more than one to a single booking if true just became effective (or not) yesterday or the day before.  It is very new (if true)

I can understand this rule in place before, but the problem is that now, people will have multiple FCCs that all expire Dec 31, 2021.  Many have cancelled and re-booked...and then may have the re-booking cancelled.  Or they already had a few cruises lined up from March - X (i.e. however long this keeps going) and then they get cancelled.  We have already had one cancelled for March, suspect another for Aug (which in itself has FCC booked from Dorian), and then lets see about our Dec (which is a re-booking of March).  I mean, how many cruises can you re-book before Dec 31, 2021 if they don't let you apply more than 1 to a booking?

Yep, it's hard not to worry when I read people post no cruises until a vaccine. My next one is jan 2nd. Let's hope it's not cancelled and I have to rebook using that money up in time.

 

If we wait for a vaccine I think rcl is bankrupt by then.

Sadly, I agree (and for all cruiselines).

The vaccine is planned till the end of the year. Some of the companies will go bankrupt unfirtunatly but this is business and this is how it works. I also hope that it wont get canceled but you never know with the current both market situation and the way industry lives it.. very hard to predict

We cancelled two cruises just before the suspension, so we only had the option of FCCs. I tried to use both of them on a single cruise later this year, and was told no. I'm now hanging fire on a May cruise that we hope will be cancelled by RCL. If they don't cancel, we'll be stuck with a huge FCC and unless we can stack more than one on a cruise, we're running out of options.

[firefly333]

At least on carnival you can apply a fcc and take the rest as obc. Rcl has to be more flexible.

 

We will see, as people post their upcoming experiences.

Thank you for this update. I will keep my fingers crossed that this will work in the future since I will now have two large FCC to go with my remaining small one.

MY UK TA has just confirmed I can apply 2 FCC to one cruise.

Please keep in mind, If the rules are the same as in the past, unused FCC can be one more time , 30 days after returning from the trip that used the initial FCC .  

 

Good luck

Right, I'm booked jan, april and October... if that's not enough time between, I might be sweating, but I'm hoping for a 30 day reissue, but thinking might be slower than you said in the past. I put as much space between as I could.
