FCC Question

[sungirl10]

Does anyone know if you can use leftover FCC for upgrades? I have searched all the FAQ’s and it does not say one way or another?

 

it looks like I am booking a Bermuda cruise for the end of May using my FCC, I am going solo and when I had booked a balcony originally there was the 200%  solo supplement. The supplement seems to be less and I can either book a balcony and have a few hundred left over which the only think it looks like I can do with the remainder is pre book excursions. Or book a club balcony for about the same amount of my FCC. I was just wondering if I booked the balcony and then could use any leftover for upgrades? 
 

The club balcony suite just seems like more then I need for myself.

I had one FCC credit - $250.00.  Something was messed up with our online profiles so NCL said just book and we will correct it.  Now we can’t get a refund and they extended our FCC.  Which I didnt want.  
 

So my advice is to book what you can using the FCC now.

Did you prepay your service charges?  Also, I believe FCC can be used to bid for upgrades via Plus Grade as there is a box to check if you want FCC to be applied.

Thank you. I did see all of this online but nothing spells out upgrades.

Thank You. Maybe I will just book the club Balcony I don’t want to leave anything on the table. My parents were booked on the original cruise that we cancelled and their FCC was totally messed up it took us a month after several emails escalating to Sr. Management.

I think my problem is that it wasn’t credit from a canceled cruise just a certificate we bought on board.  I spent a lot of time on the phone, emailing etc.   Just not worth the time and effort for me.

I just did this yesterday.   They had  given us about $2000 FCC from canceling St. Petersburg and we used some of it to Upgrade to the Haven 2 bedroom suite.  Still have some left, not sure if I can have it applied as OBC or not.

I have the possibility to bid on an upgrade for my upcoming cruise, and YES, to use FCC from a cancelled cruise is offered to use as payment.

So not a "FCC" (Future Cruise Credit) then, but a CruiseNext certificate. The FCC's are usually credit for payments done on cruises that then were cancelled by NCL.

Thanks for all the information. I was able to pay for my prepaid gratuities and after that there was minimum left so I am good.
