Cruisin4now Posted August 16 #1 Share Posted August 16 I recall last year that purchasing FCC onboard and then booking onboard may not have much benefit if one could use simply the FCC once home with a travel agent anyhow. So, is there a reason to buy more than one FCC if you’ll be traveling with the same passengers in a cabin for a future cruise? Is there currently a reason to book on board?

Rare Mary229 Posted August 16 #3 Share Posted August 16 Small, refundable deposits and large OBC - absolutely the best way to book 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdhunter67 Posted August 17 #4 Share Posted August 17 Each passenger booking a cruise must pay a deposit. Why would you want to use FCC for 1 person and not the other? I’m assuming the 2nd passenger is currently on board with you. (Maybe I didn’t understand the question?) As for booking onboard, you will receive a larger OBC than booking once you return home even if you use FCC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin4now Posted August 17 Author #5 Share Posted August 17 Thank you. I didn’t realize that when booking a cabin for 2+ everyone would have their own deposit. I’ve traveled with one payment and with a friend where we split it, but I never considered it was an actual breakout deposit wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Gail & Marty sailing away Posted August 17 #6 Share Posted August 17 We always do it on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atexsix Posted August 17 #7 Share Posted August 17 I never do, and I'm probably missing out, but I'd rather get home, study deck plans, and read reviews, especially if anything went wrong on the current cruise that I don't wish to repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passengers 3 & 4 don't require a deposit. (It's a little more "togetherness" than I'd like, but....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodakboiler Posted August 17 #10 Share Posted August 17 We've found the onboard booking agents are much more open to giving us the exact square footage of cabins/verandahs and also giving us more info than our PCC. We usually have researched our desired cruise ahead of our appointment to not waste their time which they appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PCCs may have never taken a cruise. I do the same, I generally know exactly what I want.
