I went for the refund when all was said and done... FCC just had far too many strings and conditions attached and didn't pay for far too much that I had already paid for in the initial booking. Today I got a fresh "Welcome" confirmation for one of two invoices (Have two rooms and two separate booking numbers) involved with the original booking??? Hoping I don't have issues collecting on the second? Or anything for that matter... Not being afforded my time dining on new booking though I requested it. Meanwhile my friend today got it on his booking for same trip. Did the check ins and not showing set sail on line or in App... Lots of bugs to still work out...

I am taking advice from a few people who have pointed out the strings tied to FCC really don't make a lot of sense for me... It would force me into taking a second cruise before Dec.7, 2020. Or lose whats left over from this one (which is enough to buy a fairly substantial cruise). I filled out the "refund " stuff but no confirmation back from them yet... I know its busy there so I won't push...

Just hope they don't get confused and try to "credit me" . I had asked if I could use FCC for deposit and they said no. I put up a fresh $1000 deposit and they went on to tell me that whats left f the credit would have to be used within 6 months of the new trip I booked (June-Dec) ... I told them I was no longer really interested in FCC if they were going to put so many strings on it...

Day later and things still showing active... Did the email link to cancel cruises/cruise credit and go for refund. No acknowledge email. Every thing still showing as it did...

Hate be be a bother again but not knowing the answer has me asking questions again... Ok... I got the dreaded note along with so many that we had been cancelled... I detailed in another thread my dislike of having to shell out another $1000 in deposits when I have an already bloated FCC that I won't be able to spend as they are demanding I use it within 6 months of my next sailing? (Yeah I know, sounds weird to me too when I see all the July 2021 elsewhere)... Any way, I go to my main page... The cancelled trips are still showing active? More troubling is that all the stuff I bought in the Planner is being shown as still current?????? The gal last night said they were cancelled but they show very much active on purchase history and my calendar? There is a place to "modify" or "Cancel" . Do I need to manually cancel each item (loads of them on the two reservations for our two rooms) ??? Or might that upset the system??? My app only shows the cancelled trip as active and not the newly booked one as well...

Clear that it doesn't... At times... One thing I have found though with RCL is their inconsistency... A gal in one of my Facebook groups was told that they will "return the deposit to the card it was drawn from" when the FCC actually becomes available... I have no idea... I do know that when I recently went for an upgrade I had five different stories from five reps and the last one made me happy as can be... Its with reasonable certainty that I will use the same tenacity I did negotiating the upgrade. (Which by the way is always done with full respect and cordiality to the person on the other end of the line...)

They did not with me...

I was told that mine is only good 6 months... I'll have enough for another cruise but need to come up with deposits again so will still be off track...

Got my Indy trip cancelled... Ok not end of world. Generous FCC offered. Great! Go to book another cruise... FCC can't be used for deposit??? I did not know that. FCC is already more than next trip by 500 and now 1000 more cash out of pocket to make booking. That means after this next trip I have 1500 FCC that has to be used within 6 months of my next sailing or lose it forever ??? That was another "detail " I wasn't privy to. This is not the same as that widely advertised cancellation policy... Careful...

Then you're in a little better shape...

As its heading to europe and That has been sealed off from us... Getting home would be problematic. Unless docked in England...

I have no intention of cancelling Indy on 4/4... Being that it leaves from Ft. Lauderdale and they had a couple shore workers test positive over by where Princess berths there's a possibility of the port following Baltimore's lead and shutting down. Then we have the distinct possibility that RCL may be pressured into following Princess lead... So though not intended it may come to being forced into a cancel situation...

Will likely just try the two person booking and cancel one... I wouldn't have to do this if Crown and Anchor treated old sailings like newer ones... (double points for suites)...

It didn't give me an option... No option to pick or gty either... Just said heres your room 860...

Hunting a new one showing 199 in the window... Wish me luck!

I didn't get the GTY rate but the solo came out to 860 so even more... What you say makes sense though... Thanks!

How would I go about getting the double points if I do that? Same way?? As getting the port fees back? Let em know at check in?

Great deals out there right now... Was thinking of doing a solo one to get my points up over the next level. See one listed at 229 + 82 taxes...Ok so I'm figuring 612+- for two. One should be less by taxes? Not sure? I try mock bookings... 2 is indeed around 615... Single though is 860 ???? ? I've never understood RCL pricing but thats just silly...

Looking at my Windy app and reading what the Harmony Captains tweet had to say... Weather gonna be ugly on their former itineraries .

Great... I was looking in the regular spot... didn't know the rest. Thanks!

I might have been doing it wrong? Do I look at the base of the bar codes? Numbers seem to be possible. Opposite ends of the ship but possible...

Its how the get the common guy... Same exact layout, same exact everything including same exact price on line... What I'm most angry at was them deliberately telling us no such room with two pullmans existed in the part of the ship we wanted. There were a load all over that area!

In all the bookings I have had with RCL or any other for that matter it was the most disturbing I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Wrong at a lot of levels...

Just tried and showing just the GTY... ?

It was 400 upgrade and lost 200 OBC.. On the mock booking that listed our desired room they showed the same price we paid originally for the first room... First and only time I did at Next Cruise and left a really bad taste in my mouth. I would have cancelled all together not worrying about the 400 lost deposit but I was committed to Fiancee and her kids ... Though I was fuming and feeling burnt with the one room, I'm happy now with the upgrades... Just want my room assignments... ?
