Beating the dead horse- FCC

[pnut362]

ok the search is down again! so i have a quick question - if there is a site offering OBC for the cruise I am wanting to book would i get it on top of the OBC i get for using the FCC or not?

 

any help would be appreciated!

[cruise4kicks]

Yes ;)

I believe that on board credits are the result of group bookings with benefits, etc. I know of no site that lists credits. And yes, you still get your future cruise credit on top of any other on board credit

i was looking at all the online discount sites and ran across one that has 100 OBC and wine for the booking I am looking for but haven't seen it anywhere else. So would Princess match that?

No Princess will not "match" an OBC given by a travel agency.

 

If you have a FCC with Princess you will still get the applicable OBC that is associated with the FCC in addition to any OBC offered by an agency.

You expect that Princess would "compete" with their agents...:confused: :rolleyes:

 

Now..... that would surely guarantee those agents would start selling RCCL and HAL cruises real quickly. ;)

The only thing we've seen that can't be combined is the OBC for owning Carnival stock. You can still get OBC, but it's pro-rated depending on how much Princess OBC you have (this doesn't include a TA's OBC).

I think this has changed and now you can get both.

Starting earlier this year you can get both FCC OBC and Carnival stock OBC. Full amounts as applicable, not pro-rated.

How many shares do you have to own to qualify? What is the symbol? What is the price?

100 shares!! Symbol is CCL!!

How much of an OBC do you get if you own stock?

[Doug&Nadine]

This is out of the CCL annual report
