Seems like a good idea. If it sails in May 2021, you get a much needed holiday, if not, you can choose the 25% uplift on future cruise credit (or a refund).

But if like what has already happened with many FCCs from this year if your cruise in May is cancelled the 25% uplift will be worthless as no doubt by May prices for 2022  prices will no doubt be 25% dearer than what they are now on launch.

That of course is possible but as FCC’s don’t have to be used until December 2021, there will be at least one new season launch when prices are cheaper, possibly two.

But that is just how fluid pricing works, itineraries in demand increase in price, those struggling for sales reduce. I learnt all about the law of supply and demand 60 years ago in economics.

Well I have just transferred my deposit and FCC to October 2022 and the price was excellent, maybe £100 more than we originally paid for October 2021, but quite acceptable.
