Are FCDs reinstated if a cruise is cancelled

[hobbyfarmer2]

Wondering if we get our FCDs back if we cancel a cruise before final payment if FCDs were or were not used as an initial deposit?

If you made a deposit using an FCD, the cruise has a refundable deposit, and you cancel before final payment date, then the FCD is redeposited into your Captain's Circle account for future use. If the cruise had a nonrefundable deposit you risk losing it if cancelled.

If you cancel before the cancellation penalty period starts the FCD goes back onto your Princess account, however once the cancellation penalties start you lose your FCD just like any deposit.

This is what cruise boards are for - to ask questions. I am sure there are plenty of people here who can answer. No need to bother phone reps.

There is an exception to the above.  If you have booked a World Cruise (WC) or a WC segment with a FCD, the deposit is cashed in by Princess and applied to the booking.  In lieu of the normal OBC perk, you get 3% off the cruise fare.  Cancelling the booking gets you the cash back, but the FCD is not restored as it was cashed out.
