Rare colesc15 Posted March 25, 2020 Author #31 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Still waiting to hear back from my TA but also haven't seen the refund of taxes and port fees to our credit card. How long has it been taking for others? We're at business day #12 since we canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suesnake2002 Posted March 25, 2020 #35 Share Posted March 25, 2020 So my cruises were canceled yesterday. I am taking an fcc for one cruise. If i understand correctly I will recieve 125% on my cruise fare portion only. Taxes,fees,prepaid grats. And purchases will be refunded. Royal insurence is a loss. On the second cruise I opted for a refund. So i will recieve it all back minus insurence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't plan to book anything else for this year I will use the credit for sometime next year. We are alo booked this November for Odyssey praying its done ..

Yes Royal uses Alianz. if your other cruises are before final you can remove that insurance and add the one that’s paid for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare colesc15 Posted March 26, 2020 Author #40 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Update: I got an email today from royal apologizing for an it glitch (shocker) and attached was the corrected FCC. What I got out of that was everyone needs to ensure they weren't shorted fcc. Ours was $600 shorted originally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long has it been taking for others? We're at business day #12 since we canceled. I cancelled on March 10th and haven't gotten any refunds to my credit card yet. I did receive our FCC. I called today and after looking at my account and asking me what I am supposed to be receiving, the rep needed to speak to a supervisor. I have been told it could take as long as 30 days now. She did verify the amounts that I had told her were correct and was not as confused as she seemed at the beginning of the discussion, so it seems as there might have been an issue that is now fixed. We had been holding off paying our credit card that is due tomorrow as these credits would pay the balance and still leave a large credit. At least now we know it is being processed.

jillyfish Posted March 26, 2020 #42 Share Posted March 26, 2020 @Ourusualbeach I read on another link (somewhere) that if you for some reason need to make a change to the booking that you have applied your FCC to (example: change date, cancel....) you will entirely lose the amount of the FCC. True? Could you elaborate. And if that is true, I am thinking there really is no 'value' to insure if they are treating it like they have 'refunded' it to you. I usually insure through Travel Guard on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually insure through Travel Guard on my own. Any FCC that I have dealt with has been. If the reservation is moved or cancelled the original FCC is restored to its original terms and conditions and can be applied to a different cruise. Every insurance company is different. You would be best to call and ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we apply it to a future cruise, is it treated as a lump sum and can it be applied to the new taxes and fees or just the total before the taxes and fees.

You will receive 3 FCC’s one for each person And it can only be applied against that persons fare on the new cruise. I am still waiting for clarification as to whether taxes and fees has to be paid or if a FCC can cover that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We purchased during the BOGO 60% off so our 2nd & 3rd passenger prices are much lower than the 1st passenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
