cruising deacon Posted March 22, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yesterday (3/21/2020) the FCC appeared in my CC account for the cruise I cancelled two weeks ago. Today (3/22/2020) it is gone, anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringers0815 Posted March 22, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 22, 2020 This happened to me also today. The FCC was there earlier this week but gone today. I phoned Princess and they can still see it at their end and don't know why it is not showing in my account. They said when we are ready to book a new cruise to phone them if the credit is not available on-line and they can apply it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelhound Posted March 22, 2020 #8 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I've tried to see where it would show up on my CC. Can someone tell me what section you've seen those credits? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dearinger Posted March 22, 2020 #9 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I spoke to my online travel agent (who in turn called Princess) as I finally got a notification from my TA that my cruise was cancelled. It said I wasnt getting a refund..which is wrong. With both my TA and Princess on the phone the woman was brutally honest and said it was an absolute sh** show and their computer system isn’t cooperating. I had already filled out my form last week with a full refund and Princess (while on the phone) asked my TA to also fill it out again. I just got a second confirmation and they confirmed my form. I guess what I am getting to, after talking to Princess they are struggling a lot right now and their computers aren’t designed for this type of scenario and please be patient. She said it wasn’t as simple as hitting the “refund” button as a person must make sure everything balances out properly. She didn’t seem to indicate it was a completely automated process. It was actually refreshing that she was so upfront about the situation. She kindly asked we give them another chance and I said I was very proud of how Princess handled all of this and we would cruise with them next year. Anyway, take what the overworked princess CSR woman says with a grain of salt..this will all shake itself out eventually. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare patrickmoran Posted March 22, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 22, 2020 P is having computer issues. I can't even get into my account. I find this fairly common immediately after P does a system maintenance or does repricing for a new sale, especially on the weekend. Typically by noon Monday everything should be back to normal.

WYB! Posted March 25, 2020 #15 Share Posted March 25, 2020 While my account now shows a balance of $0.00, I took a screen shot before, ya know just in case. Although, I'm not really worried about it. Safe travels, - WYB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amajaa Posted March 25, 2020 #17 Share Posted March 25, 2020 We haven’t had ours show up in our account at all yet for our March 13th cruise. At least you know something is happening on yours, even if it has disappeared, presumably temporarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAS!!1414 Posted March 25, 2020 #19 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I also spoke to a Princess Rep about my disappearing FCC -- he said the same thing -- he can see it on his screen. SO, I ASKED IF IT IS AVAILABLE TO BE USED FOR A FUTURE CRUISE ??? ANSWER WAS NO -- YOUR FCC IS CLOSED !! He had no idea what was happening -- suggested waiting and check back later. O BOY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram290 Posted March 25, 2020 #21 Share Posted March 25, 2020 There was a glitch in the Princess system. They paid the FCC in error, then took it back when the glitch was fixed. The FCC is held in escrow until you pay off the balance owed toward a future cruise (balance minus FCC, final payment).. It is not applied toward a new cruise deposit. Hope this answers the question.

I hope the FCC 100% was truly that, including the deposit originally paid! Our TA will be holding our 100.00 cancellation fee in escrow for the future cruise also. Hoping that they will cancel and we can get the money back. Don't want to deal with FCCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have several cruises booked with deposits paid. Does that mean I can use the FCC on those? From the info Princess originally sent, if you make a new booking the option to use the FCC as payment will show. I tried that with a mock new booking. It never gave me the option to use an FCC.

mustgo Posted March 25, 2020 #25 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I cannot even find the FCC I bought on a Princess Cruise--the ones for $100 a person. Should that also show in the Circle savings account? I used to see them somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
