oteixeira Posted January 28, 2021 #2 Share Posted January 28, 2021 There is a social media site that is run by a guy named Mark that might have a group that does exactly this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capitan Obvious Posted January 28, 2021 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2021 From the "words are important" department... Don't confuse FCCs (the credits given to people who have cruises cancelled) with CruiseNexts (credits that people buy onboard the ship that can be transferred/sold to others). The buying/selling that is prohibited on this site is with CruiseNexts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
margie1221 Posted February 1, 2021 #6 Share Posted February 1, 2021 True - Cruise Next Certificates have always been transferrable Fact Check me - I "think" I read somewhere that the Future Cruise Credits are now transferrable as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you but some think they should get full price even with the extra 25 % they got free. I have seen some sold for as much as 40% discount. Cruisenext are only be sold for what you paid or less since you got the onboard credit when u bought them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ziggyuk Posted February 1, 2021 #12 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Just a word or warning for anyone trading a FCC. Unlike CruiseNext the currency can't be changed, if your cruse is booked in US$ then your FCC must also be in US$, a C$ FCC would not work.

oteixeira Posted February 1, 2021 #13 Share Posted February 1, 2021 For the record I have seen CN sell for less then they are paid for during the pandemic as well. The FCC discount is because it is a MUCH BIGGER risk (lots more cash tied up), and I have even heard if you transfer the 25% bonus does NOT transfer, it get's lost. Not sure if that is true or not, but it's a big risk, and that is why I have not pulled the trigger on any FCC yet. I have been watching that group since the week it opened, and have had FCC offered to me for over 35% off (through DM), but I was on the fence and turned them down.

margie1221 Posted February 3, 2021 #14 Share Posted February 3, 2021 not sure I understand what you mean by "the risk" - please explain so that I can learn more about it. Is the process different to exchange CN certificate with a total stranger vs. FCC?? certain level of trust involved in both transactions, no?

Rare All-ready2cruise Posted February 3, 2021 #15 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) For me, the risk in buying anything to do with cruising is: will we be able to cruise within the timeframe set out by the NCL, for example, FCCs you need to have a cruise booked (for now anyway) by June 30/21 and sail by Dec. 31st/22; for CNCs it depends what dates are specified on the CNCs. Others may have different ideas of what they consider risks, these are just mine. Edited February 3, 2021 by All-ready2cruise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The risk is swapping good hard cash for cruise vouchers that could end up valueless, I guess the risk is similar to CN but much higher $ amount, some people are selling huge value FCC's. So the risk is I buy a $10,000 FCC with a booking expiry of June 2021 and book a cruise in 2022 and that cruise gets cancelled, as things stand right now, I lose that $10,000. NCL may allow FCCs that have been used by the expiry date on a future cruise that later gets cancelled to be reused but right now that is not the case. For this risk, I would want a 35% discount minimum. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
