The deadline may depend on the tenacity of whoever calls and your cruising history with Celebrity.

We had two Celebrity cruises booked - for 2020 and 2021.  Both were cancelled by Celebrity.  So we had two deposits in the wind.  Both were turned into FCC's.  One had to be used by September 30, 2022 and the other by December 31, 2022.  

We booked no Celebrity Cruises this year and were sweating.  Our Travel Agent was able to convince Celebrity to move one FCC to a Celebrity cruise in August 2023,  but they made it clear they were making an exception due to our history of cruising with them.  The second FCC we are going to lose.  Our TA called them today again, and they said they already made one exception and will not be making another.  We will not be able to use the second FCC and will lose the money.  I guess that is my contribution to their loses during the pandemic.

The TA in April on the Independence from Fort Lauderdale seems popular for Canadians. We are on it too! And we took advantage of the sale to save almost three hundred dollars today. And my partners co-worker saved $700 on their Rome cruise next year. Great deals out there!

But to get the sale pricing it seems you have to either call your Travel agent or Royal or access the sale through the Canadian Sale "Book now" button on the RCI home page. I saw the reduced pricing that way but when my partner accessed it through the "Plan a Cruise" button" he did not get the special pricing. He did see the reduced pricing when he went through the Cdn Sale button.

We found these RCI and Celebrity luggage tag holders on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca. We print the luggage tags in black and white and insert them in the holder. They are quite durable and we have used the same set for multiple cruises.
