awreaper Posted December 30, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2021 My wife, son and I have booked several RC cruises since Covid started and a couple were cancelled by RC and the last one (Dec 21) I cancelled when it became clear that you had to be vaccinated. My wife and I are, but my son is not, and we have no intention at this time of vaccinating him. So right now we each have about $1600 in FCC credit with RC sitting there. At this point I would prefer to get a 100% refund and try RC again in the future if the vaccination requirements change. Is that possible? If so, other than calling RC and staying on hold for hours and being bounced around is there a better way to request it? If the credit is not possible, can I have RC move the FCC credit that is in my son's name over to mine and my wife? We would probably go ahead and cruise with RC so as not to lose the money. Thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you booked something now with the FCCs from cruises cancelled by RCI, you might be able to turn around and cancel those for a refund. Tho, I wouldn't trust RCI to separate the types of FCCs you have and get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely. Typically, something paid with FCC is refunded as FCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the FCC was originally from a Global Suspension (cruise line cancelled) and is now cancelled under disagree with protocols (limited to sailings departing before Jan 17th) then the FCC can be refunded as a refund. If the FCC was originally issued due to a NRD deposit or a CWC cancellation it will be reissued as a FCC regardless of why the cruise was cancelled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poster mentioned that some of the FCCs were from cruises cancelled by RCI- I assume it was lumped into the $1600 mentioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
