FAQs
A Future Cruise Credit (FCC) is essentially a voucher for future travel issued by your Cruise Line. It has a monetary amount associated with it, and it is provided instead of a refund. It works like a store credit from a Cruise Line, so it can be redeemable towards a cruise fare of a future booking. With each cruise line's form of credit comes its own terms and stipulations on when and how to use it. It is important to remember that an FCC is always issued under the passenger name, is not transferable and cannot be gifted.
Exactly how much your Future Cruise Credit will be can vary. Sometimes, it might be for the entire cost of your cruise. Occasionally, it might even be for more than the price you paid. If a cruise is cancelled at the last minute, for example, a cruise line might want to offer a 150% Future Cruise Credit to compensate for the disruption. The amount of FCC that a cruise passenger qualifies for is calculated on the base fare that you paid, less any taxes, fees, upgrades, additional purchases such as shore excursions and spa treatments, or add-ons such as drinks packages and WiFi. Typically, it is issued for the same amount as the cruise fare paid per person or for a specified amount per person in a cabin. For example, let’s say you are cruising with three people in a stateroom and your sailing is cancelled, through no fault of your own, by the cruise line. If your cruise fare was 699 for the first person, 699 for the second, and then 99 for the third person, you each would receive an Future Cruise Credit of those same amounts. Note, this is not the total amount paid for your cruise as that would have included taxes and possibly prepaid gratuities. The Future Cruise Credit is solely equal to your cruise fare.

The amount of Future Cruise Credit that a cruise passenger qualifies for is calculated on the base fare that you paid, less any taxes, fees, upgrades, additional purchases such as shore excursions and spa treatments, or add-ons such as drinks packages and WIFI. That said, different Cruise Lines have different procedures, but your cruise line may refund you those add-ons separately, in the same form of payment you paid (i.e. cash or card). In other cases, if the additional elements came in conjunction to a specific offer, we can work with you to find a cruise that features those add-ons as part of the cruise fare, but will not be able to apply your Future Cruise Credit towards the payment of those elements individually.
Future Cruise Credits are issued by the Cruise Lines for various reasons. Future Cruise Credit is almost always a compensation due to a cancelled, interrupted or rebooked cruise. Right now, many people are receiving Future Cruise Credits because the cruise they were supposed to sail on was cancelled due to unprecedented circumstances. On the other hand, an Future Cruise Credit might also be given if your trip is impacted in a major way. For example, if several ports on an itinerary are skipped, a full or partial credit might be given. Another way to receive a Future Cruise Credit is whilst onboard, some Cruise Lines offer future cruise certificates or credits as an exclusive offer only available onboard, either to compensate a negative or disruptive experience or simply as a personal gift/incentive to secure your next cruise.
Future Cruise Credit will often be applied and redeemable on future cruise bookings to cover the base cruise fare of a future cruise.
An Future Cruise Credit may be used towards the base cruise fare of any future cruise (typically with the same cruise line). It can be used towards a new sailing you book, or any existing sailing you have previously booked.
Depending on the cruise line, an Future Cruise Credit will likely not cover future charges such as; Port taxes and fees, Initial deposits, Prepaid gratuities, Shore excursions and Onboard spending.
Under normal circumstances, Future Cruise Credits become available almost immediately. But, right now, it can take several weeks for them to actually be credited to a person’s account. Once credited you will receive a personal Future Cruise Credit number, you can register yours with My Future Cruise Credit and browse all the sailings available to you.

The Future Cruise Credit will normally come with an expiration date. There are two important dates to keep in mind, the first being the 'travel by' date, and the second being the credit expiration date which is the date by which the cruise needs to be booked. These can either defer or fall under the same date. It’s very important to read the fine print and terms and conditions associated with your specific Future Cruise Credit to find out and avoid risking to miss your chance.

Your Future Cruise Credit will, most likely, only be redeemable towards a new cruise fare and is issued in lieu of a refund, however, some Cruise Lines have given customers the option to receive an onboard spend credit in lieu of a refund. The onboard credit can be spent when onboard the cruise and cannot be used towards paying the cruise fare. On the other hand, a future cruise program is a way to secure a future cruise booking whilst onboard taking advantage of a great deal. This will either cover the cost of the fare or be issued in the form of an open certificate similar to the Future Cruise Credit.

Future Cruise Credits are usually brand specific. In other words, if you booked a cruise on brand A, your Future Cruise Credit is only available to use with Brand A, not other Cruise Lines nor other ships under the same corporate umbrella.
The Future Cruise Credit cannot be used to satisfy the deposit required by most Cruise Lines. There will need to be new deposit money paid towards the booking to satisfy the amount of the deposit and then the Future Cruise Credit will be applied towards the balance of the cruise fare costs.

Sorry, at this time there Future Cruise Credits are not stackable and can only be redeemed towards a single guests cruise booking.
Future Cruise Credit's are most likely non refundable but the terms differ per cruise line.

Absolutely, however, terms may differ per Cruise Line.
