Rare sonomaphil Posted October 2, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2015 We find ourselves without any FCC's but are interested in a spring cruise. We'll be on the CB in a month or so time and will buy more. Question: If I book the spring cruise now and pay the deposit without FCC's can I apply my newly acquired FCC's in a month or so there by getting the OBC? Don't need a refund of the deposit, I just want the OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted October 2, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2015 No...you'd have to cancel your cruise to use a FCC to get OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmw Posted October 2, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 2, 2015 if you cancel out to get the OBC you might lose your cabin and if there's a wait list for the cruise you could lose your cruise too so is it worth the risk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted October 2, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2015 And this is a FCD the OP is talking about. You buy a FCD on board, not a FCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Flyer Posted October 2, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) And this is a FCD the OP is talking about. You buy a FCD on board, not a FCC. True but for as long as I've participated on CC the terms "FCC" deposit and "FCD" have been interchangeable and it was obvious that the OP asked about getting OBC.

Steelers36 Posted October 2, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Maybe I will just give up on that particular thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be more than you booked for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted October 2, 2015 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2015 And this is a FCD the OP is talking about. You buy a FCD on board, not a FCC. FCD = Future Cruise Deposit FCC = Future Cruise Certificate When you pay an FCD, you get a FCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted October 3, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) FCD = Future Cruise DepositFCC = Future Cruise Certificate When you pay an FCD, you get a FCC Bill, FCC is actually a Future Cruise Credit (per My Princess). And technically, a FCD is one type of a FCC (as you indicate). Another example of a FCC occurs as a result of a cancelled cruise where customer gets a credit to apply to a future booking. Or say they took a move-over offer from Princess that resulted in a credit on account. Right? ;) Edited October 3, 2015 by steelers36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsmum Posted October 3, 2015 #10 Share Posted October 3, 2015 You use the FCD (to which is attached the FCC) as a deposit on the cruise. Why don't you go ahead and book then onboard talk to the person at the Future Cruise desk and see if they can attach the credit to your cruise. If not, they can tell you if it's worth cancelling and rebooking. If you hate wasting vacation at the desk (I do!) book now and call when you get home. The price you get now may be better than the one you get with FCC attached later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
