CruiseFirst Cert Question

[wendycook22]

Hi Everyone, 

 

I have a FirstCruise Cert that I applied towards a 2023 cruise sailing.  I know have a family member that has become a  cruise consultant, that is able to offer me more than the value of the cruise first certificate promotional value.  I know that I can't use the promotional value of the certificate with an agent booking.  Has anyone had experience with applying the amount paid for the certificate to an agent booked cruise?  I just don't want to lose out on the original value I paid.  

I know it states that it is not valid with agent fares, and it is non refundable, but I wasn't sure if I could just apply the balance paid toward an agent booked cruise.  

 

If anyone has nay insight it would be greatly appreciated.  

Thank you

I just used one for my 12/26 Breakaway sailing with my TA. When it refers to agent fares, it probably means group rates that some TA's offer. Also, I believe that if you cancel and rebook the same ship you loose the extra $150/$250 bonus

Thank you for your input and advising me of your experience!  Yes, I was aware of losing the promotional value of the cruise certificate if I rebook the same cruise.  🙂
