Rare Kinkacruiser Posted September 8, 2011 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Has anyone recetly tried to apply their free Princess FCC letter (I have several) to a booking for extra OBC's. I thought with the new scheme in place, only the $100 FCC's ones would be accepted for addtional OBC's? The letter states they are valid for 4 years ....but who knows???

Hi Anna, We booked Sea Princess last week 8 nites to Tassie in Dec 2011 and we had a future cruise letter from 2009 and princess honoured it and gave us additional OBC Cheers Col:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to boost the OBC's for the 24 day Diamond cruise. Yes, they are still valid. I have used my 2 letters for next year's 2 cruises after I did the bookings, forget them at the time of the booking. We have been credited with the OBC. I have given them to my TA 3 weeks ago, and we booked early this year. Just give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have recently and yes you can use them, within their valid period. The paid ones were first sold on AU ships in April. Shortly after our April cruise I booked a furture cruise and used one of the free ones and got the OBC applied, no problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have got one of the last, as I only got my unpaid one in April. Once issued though, I wouldn't expect they could refuse it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kinkacruiser Posted September 9, 2011 Author #12 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'll be waiting to hear the good news about this from our TA. Thanks for the thumbs up everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us also. S106 cruise started before 1st April and was a free one, then S107 mid April was the $100 dollar paid. It's the S106 cruise FCL that we used with our last booking (couldn't wait four years :eek: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kinkacruiser Posted September 13, 2011 Author #14 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Good news...we got the $150pp OBC's from the "free" FCC letter. It took a few days for Princess to process/apply them, but we have a new booking confirmation summary showing this from our TA. I saw on an email from Princess that they are offering OBC's to refer friends to Princess. Has anyone looked into that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSWP Posted September 15, 2011 #16 Share Posted September 15, 2011 We are using the 'complimentary' FCC letters for OBC on both Ruby Princess/Coral Princess soon. Checked with our T/A and on file at Carnival Corp. We got the letters on board Crown Princess, B2B in 2009. I don't know whether we will buy more FCC letters @$100 each on board Ruby/Coral.

pacificlover Posted September 24, 2011 #24 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'm looking at a segement of a world cruise, which is 25 days long and wondered if I can still use my old FCC - I think there was a limit on length of cruise. Is it "less than 25 days" or "up to 25 days"........fine line might cost me. I'm sure to find out when and if I book, but being able to get a full refund of my deposit if need be, would be a plus.
