Extension of FCC ‘DropDead’ date?

[LocoLoco1]

I just received Email from HAL that my FCC’s will be good for a while longer, well into year 2023. News to me…

I'm assuming that your FCCs were supposed to drop dead after Dec 31, 2022?

Yes, Originally I needed to TAKE the cruise by Dec 31, 2022. Now it need only be BOOKED by then.

Thanks for the tip.  I just checked my HAL account, and same thing; they've extended the sail-by date to Dec 31,2023.

I guess I can't see it because I've already applied my FCC to a 29-December sailing.

 

The Flexible Cancellation policy is still reading:

1. For cruise bookings made by September 30, 2022
2. Cruise embarking through December 31, 2022
3. Booking cancelled no less than 30 days prior to embarkation date. Or within 30 days of embarkation if you test positive for COVID-19.

Within 30 days and up until your embarkation date, you may still receive a Future Cruise Credit if you, or someone in your immediate travel party, tests positive for COVID-19.

 

So I have until 29 November to change my mind about the B2B sailing in December, assuming my PCC can confirm my FCC can be extended. (I cancelled our Mar2020 cruise a DAY before HAL called it off!)

My Email sez, To paraphrase: ‘Good news, you can now use your FCC’s for 2023 cruises, just book it by Dec 31, 2022.’
