LEMJMcC Posted August 11, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I'm hoping that the nonsense around masks aboard for ANYONE is long past by the time we cruise in December. However, if RCCL insists on mask usage we will likely cancel it. We made this resevation back in February, 2021, so we meet the conditions for the Cruise With Confidence program. However, I am wondering if we will be able to apply the FCC from the December booking to another booking we made back in April for a cruise in July, 2022, should we end up cancelling the December '21 cruise. Anyone have a similar scenario occur? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have a similar scenario occur? Thanks! We have applied at least six Covid-related FCCs from the March--May 2020 shutdown to existing 2021 and 2022 bookings. Frankly we lost track of how many there were because once RCL instituted the L&S option for cancelled cruises we started L&S'ing every cancelled cruise to a new date (and even re-applied some FCC's to those cruises that we had previously applied on earlier cruises that were ultimately caught in the new cancellation cycles). BTW, for the last round of RCL cancellations, we received refunds for any applied FCCs. Edited August 11, 2021 by orville99 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another_Critic Posted August 11, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Pretty sure this has been answered before, but has anyone applied a "not yet issued" 125% FCC from a cancelled sailing to a new (as in not yet booked) booking? Especially one that is booked within the final payment timeframe. Also, if you have an existing booking, can you apply an FCC to cover the final payment and the deposit and have the deposit refunded?

Question #1: I have read on other threads that your TA (or RCCL if you booked direct) can hold up final payment in order to apply an FCC. Question #2: If I understand correctly, you cannot "double pay" your deposit, or overpay the cruise price, but you can ask if the FCC could prepay the tips. However, you can also ask that the current booking be transferred to a new one, but it's just 100% of what you paid. I did this about 3 days ago, and many times before, too. No waiting: it all gets transferred over in one phone call. Edited August 11, 2021 by pcur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so I understand correctly about CWC and FCC - I have a Feb, 2022 cruise that I booked with FCC. If I decide to cancel that cruise prior to the 48 hour deadline, I will be issued FCC in the full amount for a future cruise, including my original FCC deposit?

Currently it's one year from cancellation, not from sailing date. So, expiration will depend on the actual cancellation date. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any deposit money will not be refunded. FCC can only cover remaining balances. You can however add pre paid gratuities, insurance, transfers to your reservation and the money you paid for the deposit would actually cover those charges plus the port fees and taxes freeing up more of the cruise fare to apply the FCC to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cancel outside of final payment, then you would get a refund of all refundable deposits, and new FCC for the amount of FCC applied. If you are in the penalty period you can get everything back but it will all be in the form of an FCC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
