thied Posted March 18, 2011 #76 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Once more - The FCL does not give you a discount. It gives an OBC plus reduced deposit. Once more - This is in addition to whatever you get from your TA or direct from P & O. Sorry to go through this again. but here we are getting OBC from P&O with out an FCL and how do you save with a reduced deposit you still have to pay for it at the end.with a FCL?

Bella cruiser Posted March 18, 2011 #77 Share Posted March 18, 2011 OK Thied, this is just an example, I had chosen an 11 night cruise on the Pacific Pearl and my TA had given me the best deal I could find for my chosen cabin, eg $1200.00 each for my husband and myself plus $150.00 OBC each. When we booked our cruise we would show the TA our FCL (that we bought on our previous cruise for $100) and it would be full deposit for our new cruise we booked AND we would also get an EXTRA $150 OBC each which would give us a total of $300 OBC each. So in this example we spent $100 to buy our two FCLs and got back $250.00 each when we took our next cruise. I think it's a pretty good deal. And as a safeguard, the FCLs are valid for 4 years but if you don't use them in that time you can get your money back. Jenny:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny:) but we can get better deals with Ta with out, out laying money in advance to P&O as I have posted before.

Bella cruiser Posted March 18, 2011 #79 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Yes Thied, that is the point you go to your TA and get your best deal with OBC and everything they have to offer. The OBC that you get by using your FCL is extra and added to your fantastic deal that you have made. Making your deal even beter. Jenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny I would have to sat that we have to let this dead horse lay down as I have had no proof whats so ever that FCL can save money at all. and under the new P&O credit/ obc in the newe cruise book that is this week well what can I say. ...

thied Posted March 18, 2011 #85 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Thied,why don't you just leave FCL for everyone else to take advantage . If you're a CEO,OMG the company must be a basket case. Might be time to edit your past cruise history,you're not fooling anybody. when did the spirit of Tas become a cruise ship? AS we have been on her and she is a car/truck/bus and people ferry and only on it for 10 or so hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmw Posted March 18, 2011 #86 Share Posted March 18, 2011 most people would have travel insurance and it will cover that. thied, travel insurance will only cover if you or someone in your family is sick but with the FCL you dont need a reason, we have tried to advise you and if you dont wish to take our advise thats ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS we have been on her and she is a car/truck/bus and people ferry and only on it for 10 or so hrs. 24hrs actually,sydney to devonport,at least we were on it -you make up cruises-multiple online id's are easy to detect as well.

West Aussie Posted March 18, 2011 #88 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Wow , This thread is 5 pages long due to people trying to get one person to understand how the FCL works. I am about to go on my first cruise next week and I understand what I have read here. Not sure why someone who has cruised so much :confused: and is a CEO cant understand it. Oh well happy cruising to all that enjoy their FCL. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Coast Cruisers Posted March 18, 2011 #89 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Exactly - not sure why you're trying to prove it to him. If he's interested he can do the research and follow it up (if he ever happens to be on a P&O cruise...). If he's not, he doesn't have to. No skin off our noses.

tateyama Posted March 19, 2011 #91 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Put simply thied, 1. Find best deal for your cruise 2. Your deposit will be $100 p/p (no matter what the deal offers) 3. OBC will be what ever the deal offers PLUS OBC from P&O 4. Get your child to explain it to you. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brossy Posted March 19, 2011 #94 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have to agree with other posters that this thread is hilarious :D. I find it amusing that a CEO can't figure out a great deal when it sees one. If the CEO doesn't want to score extra OBC then it's his loss :p. Everyone else can clearly see it's a great deal so why waste anymore time explaining it...the CEO will never get it :rolleyes:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
