I thought it was apply by April 30th, sail by September 2022? Or is that just for FCC? Edited May 26, 2021 by rockmom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimVB Posted May 26, 2021 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2021 So suppose I book a September 2022 cruise with a refundable deposit before the new July 31, 2021 deadline. CWC wouldn't do much for my confidence. If I had to cancel the 9/22 cruise sometime after final payment in 6/22 I'd get a cruise credit with a shelf life of 90 days or less. And I understand it sometimes takes them a couple months for them to issue the credit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherFx Posted May 26, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Could someone please explain this in layman's terms. (From CWC terms and conditions.) "However, if a guest opts-in to receive a CWC FCC at a time when the booking is subject to cancellation charges that would otherwise have been less than 100% of total cruise fare, by opting in to receive a CWC FCC, the guest agrees to become immediately subject to cancellation charges equal to 100% of the cruise fare paid to RCI." Does this mean that if you cancel under CWC after final payment date and before 48hrs of sail date you are still subject to the 25%, 50% or 75% penalty depending on when you cancel for CWC?

Or is that just for FCC? It is only the CWC that has been extended. Not the FCC CWC allows you to cancel 48 hours before sailing for a full FCC no penalty or get price drops after final. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cruise for Sept 2022 is NOT covered under CWC so you would lose $100pp on a non refundable deposit and get the balance of the deposit as a FCC that would be valid for 1 year. CWC only applies to cruises sailing before April 30, 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say you use CWC and cancel 2 months before sailing when the cruise is in 50% penalty. You get an FCC for the full amount without penalty. If you cancelled under the regular penalty you would forfeit 50% and get 50% refunded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWC only applies to cruises sailing before April 30, 2022 Ourusualbeach's response only applies if canceled prior to final payment date. All [pre-pandemic] penalties would apply if canceled after final payment date. You would receive a cash refund of the post-penalty balance; you would not receive a FCC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilgrin72 Posted May 26, 2021 #19 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Is the FCC for trips that got canceled in 2020 still "book by 12/31/21 for sailings before 4/30/22"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it was a year under normal rules before final payment. I’ve been sweating how I’d get Fccs applied by 30 April 2022 if I cancel under cWc in march 2022. I’m still waiting on an FCC from a cruise I canceled 19 Feb! Have been booking Refundable for peace of mind. Since we have just under a year until 30 April, I was looking for née info to come out on how Royal was going to handle the quick turn on the fccs. Guess the answer is the one year rule.

The FCC you received has an apply by date of April 30 BUT a sail by date of Sept 30, 2022 which is 15 months away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the FCC need to be applied by April 30, 2022 - and Still have to sail by September 2022 - or sail by 12 months from CWC cancel date (Feb 2022 example)?

Thanks in advance From what I have read in the FAQ's the FCC in your scenario would be valid until Feb 2023. I would think at that point the apply by and sail by date would be the same just as they were before this mess started. It would just simply be an expiry date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
