That shouldn't be a problem.  I went one time and at the last minute my friend had things come up and couldn't go.  It was no problem when I let them know when I was checking in at the port.  In hindsight, I should have asked for the port charges to be refunded.

Thanks. Was that reservation booked with a FCC?

If you have FCC applied to a cruise that you end up cancelling the normal process is for the FCC to be reissued with the original date.  

In this scenario you would get a $500 refund and a $500 FCC so you would be whole and have your $500 FCC available for another cruise as if you had never booked the cruise you cancelled.  

What do you think about this?

 I may be cancelling my May 10 2020 cruise because I planned to travel with my 81 year old mother with a hear condition and diabetes. Dont want her to take unnecessary risk.  

My understanding is that we will each get 2 FCCs even though I paid for everything.  The 2 kids get none as they sailed under kids sail free. These credits are non transferable. So let's say I cruise again with my kids under 12 and she decides not to go, can she just be a no show and we keep the value of her FCC on the reservation?

We always sail during kids sail free. So the price for 1 adult and 2 kids is the same as 2 adults and 2 kids. The only extra is port fee/tax which will be refunded in the case of a no show.

Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can share.

Makes sense. Thank you!

If you have a future cruise that is paid in full when you apply an FCC you will get a credit card refund because you have now technically overpaid.

 

So in this scenario, let's say the cruise is booked as refundable and its before final payment. I pay 1000 for cruise and its paid in full. I apply a $500 FCC which is then refunded to my Credit Card. Later I cancel the cruise before final payment (refundable deposit) do I get back $1000 on my Credit card?

That's my thinking too. I hope we are right.

That's a great question.  I feel sure that the option to change names would not work.  It's pretty clear that the FCC are non-transferable, so I don't imagine anyone else could claim the FCC value, even if she was listed originally ...but the no-show might work.  I really don't know.

Makes sense. Wondering if I will de denided boarding or asked to pay extra if she is a no show. I dont know if I will be able to convince her to set foot on a cruise ship. Hopefully she would be treated like any other no show regardless of the fact that a FCC was used?

They seem to be VERY STRICT when it comes to FCC.. I had one from a hurricane and it was difficult. It was only allowed to be used for me.. I don't think your plan is going to work but hey you could try.. 

Ok, thanks. Sounds like name change will not work. Wonder how a no show is treated when one person on reservation has used FCC.

I am sadly cancelling my May 10 cruise because I planned to travel with my 81 year old mother with a hear condition and diabetes. Dont want her to take unnecessary risk.  

My understanding is that we will each get 2 FCCs even though I paid for everything.  The 2 kids get none as they sailed under kids sail free. These credits are non transferable. So let's say I cruise again with my kids under 12 and she decides not to go. Can we put her on the reservation, use her FCC and do a name change if she decides not to go but still keep the value of her FCC  on the reservation?

If we dont or cant do a name change and she doesn't go, can she just be a no show and we keep the value of her FCC on the reservation?

We always sail during kids sail free. So the price for 1 adult and 2 kids is the same as 2 adults and 2 kids. The only extra is port fee/tax which will be refunded in the case of a no show.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give in answering this question especially if it's from personal experience.
