NRD - FCC ?

[Noreen411]

Hi

 

We are booked in an Owner’s Suite so our deposit had to be non refundable.  This has been booked for a long time (multiple ship changes when prior cruises were cancelled due to Covid).

 

Final payment is coming up soon.   There is a chance we may need to cancel and I’m trying to understand the cancellation options.

 

Originally I thought:

1 - Cancel before final payment with CWC and your deposit is given back as FCC to be used within the later of 1 year of issue or date of sailing

2 - Make final payment and if have to cancel up to 48 hours before with CWC receive full amount back as FCC to be used within the later of 1 year of issue or the date of sailing.  As a full suite, it’s a decent amount of money to tie up and possibly be stuck with a large FCC

 

Question:

1 - If we pay final and were to cancel and ask not to cancel with CWC, but standard cancellation policies, would we get back a % in cash depending on the date?  Or is the only option FCC?

 

Odd Option we’re questioning if really possible:

1 - Someone mentioned you could pay in full, cancel with CWC, then go to resolutions to have your FCC turned back to cash.  Seems like this goes against the whole point of NRD and FCC.  If this is a possibility it would give us more time to determine if we can go or not.  It sounds too good to be true.  Has anyone heard of/done this?

 

Thank you
