NumnuT_OZ Posted May 26, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Gday all, Booked a cruise on Ovation of the Seas 12 night to NZ in Dec 2022. After a cancelled Voyager south pacific cruise the DAY before Ruby Princess pulled into Sydney. Hoping to be able to use FCC as the deposit? I feel better now I have a cruise booked.

Blackduck59 Posted May 26, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Good on ya Craig. We decided to book something different when our January 2022 Auckland to Sydney 14 night became less and less likely. So we're staying in North America for ours at the beginning of September 2022. Cheers 🍺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Craig Yes, also with Princess. I put a hold on the cabin I wanted then rang Princess who applied the FCC to the booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted May 27, 2021 #8 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Not since Covid, but previously it was applied automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, nobody knows anything 100%...well, around here, death and taxes are a given but that's about it. Hopefully things will be much better by 2023! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
