Rare Sparky74 Posted March 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2023 After multiple phone calls and in the end having to use my firm voice, P&O have FINALLY sent through credits for a cruise we missed last year (don’t ask!). DW and I actually have 4 credits between us, 1 each for $113 and 1 each for $1,112.97. So a total of $2,451.94. 😁 My issue is that all of them have a book by date and a sail by date of early October 2023, even the larger ones which were only issued today. 😬 We do have a 10 night cruise to PNG booked June but got it for an incredible $2,000 for a Junior Suite. 😁 So that leaves a balance of $451.94 to be used by October. We weren’t planning another cruise that soon. I wonder if we were to purchase OBC or book shore excursions, could the FCCs be used or that? 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our experience has been they would not convert FCC to OBC, but always worth a try, you have nothing to lose by trying.

bazshirl2 Posted March 15, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Yes Mark our experience also that they won't let you use FCC as OBC, only for new bookings. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did suggest to DW that we could do B2B, adding either 4 nights to the Whitsundays before the PNG cruise or the 3 night comedy cruise after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky that sounds like a great idea, always feels good to be staying on when everyone else is getting off!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
