FCC To Pay For Transpacific 2021

[soak01]

After some advice.  I have taken a jump of faith and booked the Sept 2021 Radiance Transpacific and so far have just paid the deposit to secure a Spacious Oceanview Balcony Cabin.

 

I have a FCC from a cruise on Voyager which was cancelled in March.  Should I apply the FCC to my new booking now or hang off until last day to pay in case cruise cancellations continue or flights between Australia and Hawaii don't resume?

 

Did Radiance transpacific in 2018 and loved it, so jumped at the chance to do it again.

Wait, and not just for that ^ but also to accommodate price drops and perhaps some other reasons.

This exactly...great advice.

Many years ago, we got overly excited after receiving a Future Cruise Credit and immediately applied it to a cruise.  The cruise wasn't sailing for another year.  Other family members who were sailing with us regularly checked for price drops.  When there were price drops, we did not get it......our bottom line cruise price was already lower because we applied the FCC.

 

Lesson learned: Apply FCC AFTER final payment.

Not sure you can apply an FCC after final payment.
