Morganno Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Booked for May 21 but thinking of cancelling and rebooking for the October of the same year. If I cancel and they give me £600 in FCC can i use the FCC to make a deposit on the October cruise? thanks, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I am not sure what the rules are outside of North America, but I can tell you from my own experience, the answer is yes. I have done this twice now. Cancelled under CWC and used the FCC towards a new booking. My TA encountered zero issues both times.

WAAAYTOOO Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Yes, I believe they changed the FCC rules to allow a new cruise to be booked using FCC. Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, there isn't any need to cancel your existing reservation and receive a FCC and then make a new reservation. Several times I have kept the same reservation number and "rescheduled" the cruise to a future cruise. It doesn't even need to be a future cruise. You just say you want to do another cruise instead of the cruise you currently have. Currently, the change fees are waived with cruise with confidence. I do this before the final payment date so I don't pay any additional money. There is no price protection like a L&S. Your current deposit is used for the new cruise but the reservation number stays the same. You can do this even if you booked nonrefundable. If you booked refundable, you can always do this without a change fee anytime before the final payment date. You can also cancel your cruise and receive a FCC but I takes awhile. You can use the FCC for the deposit under the current rules. Morganno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for school to announce next year's holiday schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
