That was interesting. Thanks, SNAFU is the nickname for the Ocean Medallion app. 🤡 FUBAR is the nickname for the Princess call center. 🤪 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do blame it on texting, tweeting, or other social media. Grammar, punctuation, short cuts, capitalization, and grammatical marks (periods, apostrophes, etc) have been thrown out with syntax. I am more bothered by posters using interchangeable condensations like FCD/FCC or Princess calling a cabin a mini-SUITE instead of a "balcony". At least they changed it to "Reserved Class" to make sure everyone understood that they are moving to a "CLASS" society. Oh, the glory days of the Titanic or Queen Mary in Long Beach. As for me, I still have to ask someone who sends me letters what those letters mean. I do know LOL, BTW, TA, but CVP? I dislike changes. I just read this entire thread. I felt compelled to let @cr8tiv1 know that I agree, especially with the second paragraph, and I am especially tickled that someone with that name is making that point. 😁😁😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for me, I still have to ask someone who sends me letters what those letters mean. I do know LOL, BTW, TA, but CVP? I dislike changes. I totally agree that it should be easy to figure out CC from context. FCD’s and FCC’s are a whole different ball game! I always knew the $100 things I purchased onboard to be used as FCC’s (Future Cruise Credits), to be used as deposits as well as obtain onboard credit. Not too many years ago I was made aware that these were FCD’s (Future Cruise Deposits). It finally clicked for me since all the Covid cancellations took place. I now know that FCD’s are what I buy on board and now expire, and are refunded, after one year. FCC’s are granted as either Goodwill FCC, which expire as of a certain date, and Cash Value FCC’s that have a Book and Sail by date attached! Acronyms are so much fun! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
