ckb104 Posted November 3, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2020 In case anyone is wondering, it is possible to change your Future Cruise Credit to the cash refund option. I found that out because I had sent an email to Customer Service, asking about whether or not that might be an option in the future with the possible restrictions that may be in place when cruises start up again. Apparently, they took my query as a request. I got an email saying that they did it. Our FCC is gone and we got a refund for 100% of the cruise fare. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dog Posted November 3, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2020 That’s great. Mine is not eligible for cash refund. All conditions are not the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuedon Posted November 3, 2020 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2020 My last few cancellation emails had a bit in it saying: "Alternatively, you can request to receive a refund for all money paid on your booking, forfeiting the bonus FCC, through this online form ❯. If we don't hear from you by December 15, 2020, you will automatically receive the higher value FCC." (Link is removed since it comes with personalized metadata I can't safely sanitize.)

Shaver John Posted November 3, 2020 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Wow, you are so lucky. It took us 5 and 1/2 months to get our money back. So glad they are doing the refunds much faster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the question is about taking a previously issued FCC, and now converting it into a cash refund. Of course, one would lose any bonus FCC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckb104 Posted November 4, 2020 Author #9 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Yes. We received the refund already. I just got the email yesterday (Nov. 2) and it said it was processed on October 22nd. The refund was on the current credit card statement. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was meant to take my parents on a Princess SE Asia cruise and with everything that was going on we cancelled back early in February 2020 before even the word pandemic was mentioned. A cheque had to be issued, not that’s a problem but something happened and the cheque went missing. Turns out they address the envelope incorrectly, Mum kept chasing it up no one could or would help. Long story short Mum’s phone call one day was accidentally answered by someone who went above and beyond ...... cheque finally turned up in early September 2020. My husband and I cancelled our PNG cruise and only took a few weeks to get our money back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have booked and cancelled several 2021 dates to use up our FCC. I am relieved to read that a refund might be an option, but we'll hold off for now.

Rare Tak8 Posted November 4, 2020 #12 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I'm not ready to go the refund route, but I hope Princess will consider extending the sail by date for these FCCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did the same but have only been partially reimbursed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
