lbislander Posted July 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Royal is offering $100 OBC for new or existing (not yet paid in full) bookings when FCC is applied before July 31st. The offer states that it is per stateroom. We have an existing reservation for January and are looking at a possible Fall sailing. Does anyone know if I apply Hubby's FCC to the Fall and my FCC to the January, will RC credit the OBC on both sailings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you see it's valid on existing bookings? This is what I see: FCC Kicker Booking Window: July 1-31, 2022 Sailing Window: All sailings departing between August 2, 2022 - May 25, 2023 How to Redeem: Guest must redeem FCC on a new booking made between August 2, 2022 – December 31, 2023, on a sailing on or before December 2023 Offer Details: $100 to spend at sea, OBC will be applied on the back end up to two weeks after the FCC redemption Combinability: Applicable to all rate programs But the booking, sailing, and redeem dates don't line up???? 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSWABBY Posted July 9, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I applied an fcc to an existing booking for April 2023 and was denied the OBC. Told it had to be a new booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robo1098 Posted July 9, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I don't know. It seems pretty clear it is for new bookings between July 1st and 31st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Floridian 26 Posted July 10, 2022 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Thanks for posting this. This is our first time having a FCC. Can someone tell me if you book with an FCC, then cancel before final payment, do you get the FCC back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my refundable bookings where I applied an FCC have a warning on them with a penalty amount equal to my FCC. It's still a refundable booking but with an FCC penalty. If I cancel I will get my deposit refunded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbislander Posted July 10, 2022 Author #10 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Your kind replies caused me to re-read the email. I was wrong. The kicker is only for new bookings. Sorry for the confusion and thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poocher Posted July 10, 2022 #11 Share Posted July 10, 2022 My brother has an FCC issued in 2 separate certificates. If he were to book 2 rooms, using 1 on each, would he get the OBC on each? I don’t see anything on the website about this. But I will have him contact his TA about it. He has to use them by 5/23 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called and got a number, but I don't know if the email was ever sent. The rep said they could not resend the certificate. I have no idea what it says. He just told me the numbers, and there is no expiration. Is there any other way to see my terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two FCC were applied to a booking for a total of $600 towards the cruise fare. Note the last sentence that the booking is subject to $600 in cancellation penalties - the exact amount of the FCCs that were applied. I ended sailing this cruise so I didn't get ant FCC penalties but if I had cancelled the booking then I would have lost the FCC value plus any other normal cancelation penalties.

So in other words, you do lose the FCC value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Floridian 26 Posted July 10, 2022 #16 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Another question about the kickers. Do you have to book through a Travel Agent? Can you book directly with RCCL or even online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand??? I thought when you canceled a cruise to which you’ve applied FCCs, the FCCs are reissued. No??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
