Cancelling after using FCC as non-refundable deposit

[karebare22]

Looking at using FCC for a non-refundable deposit for a 2022 summer cruise (outside of current CWC).

If we cancel (outside the 90 days) we were told that there would be no $100 per person change fee since that can’t be taken from the deposit when it’s paid with FCC. Trying to confirm this with RC, but still on hold. Anyone know if this will be the case?

As long as you do not pay any cash then all that Royal can do is reduce the amount of the FCC of you cancel.

 

for instance if you use a $500 FCC and you cancel before final payment then you would get your FCC reissued in the amount of $300

That’s what I would expect, but we are being told differently. I guess it doesn’t really matter, I’ll just just expect to pay the penalty. It’s just a factor in our decision to book refundable vs non-ref.

If they don’t have your credit card they can’t charge you.
