They will get a FCC for the full value of the cruise less taxes and fees thst will be refunded. 

This is what I read in the RCCL policy: If you cancel a cruise booking due to you, or someone else in your Traveling Party, testing positive for COVID-19 within 10 days before embarkation, you, and anyone else in your Traveling Party who cancels, are eligible for a refund of the cruise fare paid to RCI. To qualify for a refund, if your COVID-19 test was administered by a provider other than one retained by RCI, you must present your verified positive test result in a form acceptable to RCI.
• If you had a confirmed close contact with a person who tested positive for COVID-19, or who is suspected of having COVID-19, within 10 days before embarkation and RCI deems you are unfit to travel, you are eligible for a refund of the cruise fare paid to RCI.

To me this says you get a “refund”, not an FCC.  What am I missing?

I do, having recently been through the same thing. It's quite simple: they won't be let on because they're a close contact.

I’m sorry! Did you automatically get future cruise credit?

Yes we did, in addition to OBC.  We immediately applied the FCC to our October cruise, which brought the price down A LOT!  We only had to pay an extra $40 and that included an upgrade to a balcony.
