TonyM99 Posted November 9, 2021 #26 Share Posted November 9, 2021 My Mistake in terminology having checked back on my emails - And as put so clearly by Caribill above I was referring to FCD which then in turn after you have booked a cruise using it you then also gain some OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TA & myself had to make several attempts to get my FCD back to reuse as a deposit from my cancelled March 2020 cruise. Princess returned it to me as a FCC , losing the OBC I got FCD back and it is now on my next cruise as a deposit with OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at my Princess account today I couldn't really work out what had happened. Phoning Princess (50 mins holding) I found out that both our £75 FCD from cancelled cruise had been transferred to a cash value FFC along with an addition £25 each listed as Goodwill cash FCC. So apparently our one remaining FCD was used for new trip and the reallocated FCC had been used to apparently reduce the cruise price. Im currently querying with TA also asking to see if they can get Princess to add more OBC to booked cruise to compensate for the effective loss of.

My situation was one of first cancellations and in Canada. Later policies allowed FCD to be reinstated with OBC and some have been able to use FCC as deposit.

seattlecruiser Posted November 10, 2021 #30 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Does anyone know if I buy a Future Cruise Credit on a cruise we are taking next month can I apply it to a May cruise that has already been booked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you can work with a Princess rep who is willing to apply it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
