Can you use FCC's to pay the deposit for a cruise?

[tallnthensome]

I am a family of four with four $250 FCC certificates. If there is a $1000 deposit due for a new cruise booking can they be used for the deposit or do I have to pay cash for the deposit and then use the credits towards payment after initial  booking? Thanks ....

I don't believe you can use FCC for deposits.

Yes.  I was able to do so.

We used our FCC as a deposit , sailing this Sunday.

Obviously, I was wrong. Sorry.

Did you all have to call in to get the rep to apply them ? I'm pretty sure you can't do it online when booking, correct?

We did not see where we could put it in online so we called Celebrity and later transferred our booking to our TA.

Yes.   If you do a mock booking one of the questions on the initial booking is if you have a FCC.  If so you tick the box and enter the FCC amount and it's applied.   I recently did it.     If with an agent they will handle for you.

I also used this page to confirm that all my FCC's had been used.
