lynncarol Posted August 13, 2020 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Just wanted to say something positive about Royal Caribbean. We had booked two cabins out of Venice sailing October 10. 2020. I decided to cancel the trip before making final payment and feared, since I had non-refundable deposits, I had no chance of getting any of that money applied to a future cruise. However, when I called RCL to cancel, they told me I would be getting an email giving me vouchers for future-cruise credit of my deposit amount. Two months passed, and I had almost given up but just yesterday an email arrived with a Future Cruise Certificate number for the entire amount of my deposit. So hang in there...Royal Caribbean seems to be trying. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodtime Cruizin Posted August 13, 2020 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Yes. We too received our FCCs yesterday for the full deposit amount. It wasn't much since we booked the cruise at the Next Cruise desk while on a cruise. But we got them! I do have a question though. They are dated with an expiration of one year. What if RCL is not cruising by within the next year? Do we then just 'lose out'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HicksRA Posted August 13, 2020 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I just received airfare reimbursement for my Allure 11/01 TA today that was cancelled last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What We Found Travelling Posted August 13, 2020 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2020 My TA advised me my FCC’s would be sent directly to me from RC 8-10 weeks after our cancellation date which was May 8th. I’m still waiting been 13 weeks now! TA advised I’ll have until April 2022 to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted August 14, 2020 #5 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hmm, I have never received an email confirming FCC. Any others with this experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I spoke to the agent about redeeming the future credits, he said that the expiration date on them referred to the last date to book another cruise. From that point, I seem to recall him saying that we had until mid 2022 to sail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll most likely book a cruise in 2021 fro 2022! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cancelled an April cruise in late March while COVID was just starting. While we did eventually receive tax and port fees, we never received an email confirming the FCC. I called RCL twice and was told they sent it and could not send another. I was also told that our reservation numbers will serve as our FCC We shall see we have not yet re-booked. 30 years cruising with them and RCL was the worst of the 5 cruises we cancelled.

Goodtime Cruizin Posted August 15, 2020 #12 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Although we only had 1 reservation, the emails & the FCCs came in seperate emails. I was emailed mine and about 3 hours later a second email came regarding my wife. And the FCCs were emailed seperately as well. We cancelled in late June on the date payment was due for a Greek Isle cruise next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how such a large corporation wouldn't have that ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agrre with you. A FCC should show on an account. No reason it does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckynana Posted August 16, 2020 #15 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I received our FCC in the full amount of my $900.00 deposit 3 weeks after canceling our cruise. I started looking at March 2022 cruises, but was told my FCC had to be used by December, 2021. We decided to sail out of Bayonne with our FCC . We're already booked for Venice next October. So now, I've got 2 cruises booked for 2021. Being optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
