Princess Cruises Future Cruise Credits (FCCs) allow guests to apply the value of a cancelled sailing toward a future Princess Cruises booking. This guide covers how Princess FCCs are calculated, what happens to onboard extras you purchased, and how to redeem your credit.
About Princess Future Cruise Credits
Princess Future Cruise Credits may only be used toward the fare of your next Princess booking. They may not be used for any “additions”, like transfers, taxes, airfare, excursions or land-only tours. Redeeming Future Cruise Credits is easy, as they’re automatically applied to your next booking. If you have more credits than the cost of your cruise fare, you can apply the remaining credits to other future bookings — just be sure to use it before the expiration date.
What is a Princess Cruises Future Cruise Credit (FCC)?
A Future Cruise Credit (FCC) is essentially a voucher for future travel. It has a monetary amount associated with it, and it is provided in lieu of a refund.
Can I use my FCC to pay for more than one cruise?
Yes. If the amount of your credit is greater than the cruise fare of your new booking, you can apply the remaining FCC balance on additional future bookings up to the expiration date.
How are FCCs distributed across the guests on my booking?
FCCs are given per person based on the cancellation fee calculated from your individual cruise or cruise tour fare.
What happens to my FCC if the booking I used it on cancels?
The Future Cruise Credit will remain attached to your profile until it expires. If you cancel a booking where you used an FCC, it goes back to your profile, and you can re-use it before the expiration date. In the event the original FCC is expired, it will be reissued with a new expiration date. Their last update on June 3rd mentioned that they are making their way through the backlog more quickly now and have completed nearly 60% of refunds so far. Refunds and Future Cruise Credits (FCCs) are handled separately using different programs; therefore, it’s normal to receive one at a different time than
How long will it take to get my refund?
We want you to know that we hear you and understand your frustration with the time it is taking to receive your refund. Princess is now refunding millions of dollars per week and are actively working through their back log. The reservation and payment systems were not designed to handle this volume of refunds in a short period of time, and it is taking longer than they wanted.
How long will I know when my FCC is ready?
Princess will automatically take care of it and email you when it’s done.
