I don’t think the  FCC can’t be applied towards the deposit.

So i have to book a cruise more than my credit to use it all 😯

Yes you do,  also if you dont use it all on the one cruise you lose whatever is left on the FCC, Well we do in Australia

Correct, because Royal wants additional funds for the deposit.

What if its after final, and you just pay the entire thing at one time?

I believe you still need to provide new funds for the deposit portion.

Our very recent experience:

We were booked on the Harmony cruise (that was shortened)...Royal offered us to take the short cruise or cancel in place of an FCC. Took the cancel and FCC option. 2 FCC's (one in each passenger's name) were emailed within 4 to 5 days.

Called Royal and booked the Allure that was going in 3 days. They applied FCC to the new cruise. There was no extra cost, no deposit since it was only 3 days to cruise, it was total payment. Amount left over on each FCC was moved to/applied to a future cruise for Feb 2020.

Can you book the cruise and pay for the tips, or insurance, at the time of booking? The total would be over the FCC.  Would that work?

Again, I think we need one of our resident travel agents to chime in. 

 

I thought the FCC had to be applied to an existing booking, and for a booking to exist, it has to have the deposit paid, or has to be paid in full if beyond final payment date.  Perhaps they can create a booking and apply the FCC all at once, but I'm not sure about that.

We were told we couldn't use our Oasis FCC for the taxes.  Have you checked on that?

Everybody, read what Arzeena wrote in post #8

I have read a few other posts from people that say they have been able to apply the FCC to more than one already booked cruise as payments

[AshleyDillo]

In the US if the cruise is less than your FCC you don't forfeit the amount that you don't use.  You can use the FCC on multiple cruise bookings to use it up but the remaining FCC still has the same expiration date/rules.

You only pay the taxes! 👍

They will ask for a deposit and refund the deposit after the FCC is applied...!👍

You will struggle to get points for the cruise so.....that will happen once you complained a LOT!🙄

NO! You will get a new FCC for the leftover...👍

You can apply to one cruise at a time....once that cruise is over - it takes about 2 weeks to get the new FCC for the leftover....so a B2B would not work!🙄

Not true anymore - the new FCC will have a new current exp date!👍

Carol it worked out really well for us, and never under estimate the Guatemala center where my call was directed and all this was done through.
