1. Can't cancel/rebook after final payment dates (one is 7 weeks away, other is just about 120 days). 2. Adjustments after final payment are FCC. I'm sick and tired of FCC and would rather deal in terms of actual cash. 3. Selection doesn't matter, planning on getting a sail-away cabin and maybe go for a bid upgrade. Downsides mitigated, but I don't disagree with your reasoning. Would try another line, but have to finish up last CruiseNext coupon and remaining FCC before end of the year.

This time around, I'm waiting for the lower price before booking. Hoping to, anyway.

I'm watching two specific cruises and every week, the prices keep inflating. One kept sinking every week until mid-April when it decided to change direction and hasn't stopped climbing. The other I've only tracked a few weeks, but it has increased $100pp each week. And then I realized there aren't any more posts about folks trying to get adjustments for price decreases after final payment. Forcing remaining FCC to go stale or milking more out of those who do use it? Hmmmm 🤑 or getting ready to follow the other lines and do away with FCC expiration dates?
