Pattycruise Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 1 hour ago, Pooch said: Ok this thread has me thinking (never a good thing!). I’ve advised my brother (remember him? Missed the Harmony cruise?) to contact his TA about the FCC kicker that seems to be, well, kicking around. Suggested a 7 day WC on Harmony in May as a possibility. I will also then need to book my family on that cruise. Our next cruise is in late October. Should I wait to book on board? Or is that too far away? That's a tough one. Is it worth the risk of a price increase to get that OBC? Is there "enough" FCC to go around? If more than 2 people with FCC can you split the people booking the cabin into 2 different cabins to get people with FCC in both. The only problem, as you are well aware, is if something happens and those people don't make the flight/cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem, as you are well aware, is if something happens and those people don't make the flight/cruise. The sort of “plan” would be for him to book 2 rooms, a JS For him & his SO and probably a balcony for his son and mine using the 2 FCCs he has. Then I would just pay him back for my son’s fare. I would book another JS for my husband & I, maybe my daughter if she wants to come. Really my concern is there will be a lack of JSs if I wait. Probably not a good idea this time around.

I agree, this is very pertinent. I just YOLO booked for Norway next year. I was planning on waiting and booking on board Anthem in September but I saw what I thought was a very decent price and I didn't want to chance it. I would have got $50 OBC if I'd waited. The room type I booked has increased in price by $100 in the space of a few days. I'm so glad I booked it when I did. Pooch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooch Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 The price is pretty good right now, $3100 for 2 in the JS for 7 days on an Oasis class. Very reasonable in my mind. Waiting to hear what big brother is doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essie Posted July 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Thanks everyone. After reading all of the comments, I think I'll just skip the stress and book it when I can really look things over and watch the promotions. I was looking at the Sailing to Bermuda but I'm not sure if we want that yet anyway. Happy Sailing. 8 weeks to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the Next Cruise certificate that allows you quite a while to book something once off the ship. You don't need to choose your sailing right there and then.

I know other lines do this, not sure about RCI. Its basically a Future Cruise Credit you pay for:) So you can use it for a future sailing yet to be decided.
