drvmywifecrzy Posted January 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Will they be extending the timeline? Mine all say 6/30/21 and I have cruises canceled from last fall and Xmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Wonderland Posted January 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Some earlier FCCs have already been extended the deadline from Feb/Mar/Apr/May 2021 to become Jun 2021. Note that this is the "book by date", while the "sail by date" is Dec 2022. I guess NCL may offer another extension when it is closer to the deadline. Just wait until spring to see.

Really, where have you seen reports of FCC being extended? Or do you personally have FCCs that got extended? Reason I ask is I have FCCs that have an use by date of April 1, 2021... With the rolling cancellations, I'd really like to see this extended, at least till they actually restart.... Would hate to book something which gets cancelled, resulting in the FCC automatically expiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted January 23, 2021 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I have some 4/1/21 FCC from our cruise that was cancelled last week. The “everything is extended” is inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “everything is extended” is inaccurate. All the FCCs of me, my family and friends, are extended to 30th June automatically. I haven't made a request but NCL extended them automatically. This is also widely mentioned by many members on NCL Facebook groups. NCL did not officially announce this. So I don't know if everybody experience the same, or if there is any reason behind that NCL only chooses certain guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaprin02 Posted January 23, 2021 #6 Share Posted January 23, 2021 My FCC originally had a March expiration, then I had a cruise paid with that FCC cancelled, and when it was returned, it had an expiration of 6/30/21. So at least for me, it appears they extended the expiration, at least a little. I wonder if it might be the cancellation of a cruise paid with FCC from a previous cancellation that triggers the extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The “everything is extended” is inaccurate. I think it is now safe to say "was inaccurate." I inquired of NCL today regarding the effective dates of my FCC's inasmuch as on My Account page they showed validity dates beyond what I was informed of when they were issued last year. According to this NCL source "effective dates of the future cruise credits were extended as of today." No public announcement has yet been published according to him. I'll be watching!

Susandt Posted January 26, 2021 #13 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I think we have to book by 6/21. My question is can they be used for cruises in 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted January 27, 2021 #14 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) The FCCs need to be used to book a cruise by June 30/21 and sail by Dec 31/22. Edited January 27, 2021 by All-ready2cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuliHuli Posted February 10, 2021 #17 Share Posted February 10, 2021 This is the formal notification confirming the informal word I posted about (#12) above. Glad to see it as it allows me to reserve my FCC until the final payment date for my next booking later this year. Final payment dates were also extended today for cruises through December 31, 2021.

dumbth Posted February 10, 2021 #18 Share Posted February 10, 2021 My FCCs still show June30 expiration for booking. Anyway, are they good for anything except a cruise itself? I am unable to use all of mine because they seem not applicable to 1) down payment, 2) prepayment of tips, 3) shore excursions, or 4) cabin upgrade bids. Is there anything I can use the leftover credits for at the same time as final cruise payment? thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything I can use the leftover credits for at the same time as final cruise payment? thanks... You asked: What costs are included in the future cruise credit (FCC)? The following will be applied to the FCC: Cruise fare and taxes Including any winning Upgrade Advantage payments. Hotel and CruiseTour packages purchased through Norwegian Cruise Line. Flight arrangements booked through Norwegian Cruise Line Shore Excursions booked and pre-paid through Norwegian Cruise Line Prepaid service charges Beverage or Dining gratuities (if part of Free At Sea (FAS) Promotion selection) Essentials, Booksafe Standard or Platinum Travel Protection, if purchased. Booksafe Travel Protection will be issued as a separate additional FCC worth the value of the travel protection plan paid. This insurance FCC will be valid for one year from date of issuance and only applicable towards insurance for all published sailings through Dec 31, 2022.

dumbth Posted February 10, 2021 #20 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Thanks ar2c, but as a practical matter there seems no way to pay FCC for such extras on the ncl site. They get put in cart where only credit cards seem accepted. However I just noticed fine print saying unusual payment forms can be negotiated using the toll free number.
