Another FCC Question

An other FCC question.   Our 4th cruise just got cancelled which was expensive and paid for using FCC and cash  The FCC's are piling up and have more FCC than we owe on our upcoming cruises.  We now have 4 cruises scheduled in an 8 month period and really don't need to book another.  So here's two questions can FCC be used to pay for airline tickets if booked through Celebrity??? I'm thinking "no" but hoping "yes".  Also if we can only use part of an FCC can we request the remainder in cash at 100%?

 

This may not directly answer your questions but it might give some guidance to help get some FCC money back. Here is an FAQ entry that might be helpful. Although it might appear at first glance that the only deadlines that have not passed are at the top, look at the very last line. It looks like FCC's issued for cruises cancelled for March 14 - May 11, 2020 (last year) can still be switched to refunds through the end of 2021.

After receiving my 125% Future Cruise Credit (FCC), can I choose to change to a 100% refund?

Yes, so long as you request it on or before the relevant deadline. If you request a refund, your 125% FCC will be deactivated.

And regarding partial FCC's,

Can I use the Future Cruise Credit across multiple itineraries, or does it have to be used for a single booking?

Your Future Cruise Credit may be used across multiple sailings if there is a remaining balance after its initial use.  Any remaining funds on the FCC will continue to be available until you have used the entire value of the FCC or it expires, whichever occurs first.  A recent enhancement now allows multiple FCCs to be applied per guest within the same reservation.

So depending on how you applied your FCC's, you might still be able to get refunded for some. You could refund some and split others across multiple itineraries.

 

And if none of that works, upgrade!

 

Cheers!
