jupiter03 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 When I check my FCC balance, it says the following: Valid through April 30, 2022 or 12 months from the original sail date (whichever is longer) and can be used for any open sailings at the the time of booking. I assumed that they could only be used on cruises before April 2022, but this statement leads me to think they might be able to be used for 2023 bookings. Anybody try using their FCC on a 2023 cruise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I read that to mean you have to do something with the credits by April 30, 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Just asked if I could apply one for a customer sailing in October of 2022 and the answer was "no, not yet." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jupiter03 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Thanks everyone! I tried using them to book a 2023 cruise and it seemed to accept them, but was still asking for my full deposit. It also only allowed me to input one FCC per person. I thought they changed to accepting more than one FCC per cruise, but maybe you need a TA to apply more than one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I thought I read somewhere that you needed to call to book using FCC as your deposit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard a few stories of late where FCCs were incorrectly applied and allowed (when they weren't suppose to) and Royal has done internal audits and corrected them eventually. Would hate for you to assume you could use a FCC for a 2023 cruise only to find out later that it was allowed by mistake. But great news if they are allowing it, although I have not heard of that extension yet and I am assuming that would be definite news if they were extending the expiry date again.

jupiter03 Posted March 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 If they are still asking for the full deposit, I see no need to try to use the FCC at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up extending the data again and I'll just wait. Thanks for all the advice, everyone! Neesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymoure1991 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 When I rescheduled a cruise for this August, I had to call and they applied my FCC to my deposit. So know I will wait until May final payment to see what happens. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
