Slark Posted April 25, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) We are still discerning whether to take the refund or the FCC. With the 125% and a 20% rebooking discount, even upgrading cabin and/or itinerary can result in an excess credit in the account. Question is: Can this be used for onboard charges or does it sit in you account for another cruise? Edited April 25, 2020 by Slark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLcruisergrl Posted April 25, 2020 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2020 It can be used for shore excursions, dining or beverage packages, spa stuff...anything you’d book pre-cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tracyfitzs Posted April 26, 2020 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I had excess FCC from a rebook- not sure where it went. Do I have to wait a week after booking for it to reissue the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldestSurfer Posted April 26, 2020 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Wouldn't the 20% discount be off rack rate? I don't see many bargains out there for Q4 or 2021 and I'm not confident all the cruise ports will be accepting passengers immediately upon cruises starting up again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted April 26, 2020 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Our cruise was already expensive because we were in a suite on POA. Even with upgrading to an Owner’s Suite, we still have money left on our FCC. I plan to use the money for a shore excursion and possibly to add a specialty dining package to go with the three meal one we already have.I also have $1,000 in OBC that was part of the deal when we rebooked![emoji15] I should be able to get off the ship without a bill to pay.Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t have the $1,000 before, but we got it as one of the perks when we had to reschedule.Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted April 26, 2020 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Wouldn't the 20% discount be off rack rate? Yes. it is taken off the rate before you start to use any OBC or Discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some incredible bargains for 2021. I had them booked prior to this mess and after my canceled cruise and FCC showed up I had my existing reservations discounted and repriced. Plus add in FCC bonus received Now Italy has closed its ports and everything for all of 2020. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleifheit2019 Posted April 27, 2020 #10 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Does anyone know..... if you originally booked through a travel agency when using the FCC will you have to book straight through NCL or can you still use your travel agency? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slark Posted May 2, 2020 Author #12 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Got my FCC today. It was split between the four folks in the suite. My wife's was 25% less than mine; the boys each got a small amount. I assume no worries as we are all going to rebook for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted May 5, 2020 #13 Share Posted May 5, 2020 We were told we could use it for anything. So, our plan is to use it for booking excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tupperstamper Posted May 6, 2020 #14 Share Posted May 6, 2020 The rep I chatted with yesterday told me I could use it for prepaid gratuities and shore excursions. I wanted to add the soda package but was told fcc could not be used for that and then she sent me this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdleyShip Posted August 13, 2020 #15 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) The topic's replies look fairly dated so not sure what the status quo is to date. I've no idea how to apply my excess FCCs, help would be welcome? Tnx Edited August 13, 2020 by ArdleyShip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slark Posted August 14, 2020 Author #16 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I haven’t tried to use them yet, but I plan to prepay gratuities and purchase a few shore excursions. Right on the NCL website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnx I just tried to do a "mock" shore excursion booking online for my Sept. 2021, where I have some excess FCC after the cruise is paid - and only got the possibility to choose payment by credit card. It does however state the following below: "Call reservations toll free number 00800 0310 21 21 to apply multiple forms of payment". So when the time comes, I will just ask my PCC to assist me in the matter. Edited August 14, 2020 by TrumpyNor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdleyShip Posted August 14, 2020 #18 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Thanks TrumpyNor, Toll free in The States but expensive from Europe still, if that's what it takes 'to apply for multiple forms of payment' I'll make the call. Trust we can apply excess FCCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
