P&O Future Cruise Credits

[Sparky74]

After multiple phone calls and in the end having to use my firm voice, P&O have FINALLY sent through credits for a cruise we missed last year (don’t ask!).  DW and I actually have 4 credits between us, 1 each for $113 and 1 each for $1,112.97. So a total of $2,451.94. 😁

 

My issue is that all of them have a book by date and a sail by date of early October 2023, even the larger ones which were only issued today.  😬

 

We do have a 10 night cruise to PNG booked June but got it for an incredible $2,000 for a Junior Suite. 😁 So that leaves a balance of $451.94 to be used by October. We weren’t planning another cruise that soon. 
 

I wonder if we were to purchase OBC or book shore excursions, could the FCCs be used or that? 🤷‍♂️

I think you should use your firm voice and request the book by date and sail be date of early October, 2023 to be pushed out to a more reasonable date, seeing the larger credits were only issued today!!

Hi Mark

Is your PNG cruise out of Bris or Sydney, could only find a 10 day June PNG out of Brisbane, it seems to have a 3 day after the PNG. possibly a B2B maybe.

Our experience has been they would not convert FCC to OBC, but always worth a try, you have nothing to lose by trying.

Yes Mark our experience also that they won't let you use FCC as OBC, only for new bookings. Good luck.

Yes, out of Brisbane. 
I did suggest to DW that we could do B2B, adding either 4 nights to the Whitsundays before the PNG cruise or the 3 night comedy cruise after.

Sparky that sounds like a great idea, always feels good to be staying on when everyone else is getting off!!
