Feb. 2021 Cancellations

[UVAWahoo]

So even if you have more than 1 cruise cancelled by DCL, you can only get the 125% once? I'm debating whether to take a refund or apply the 125% to a cruise in July that we need to pay off by April. If the July cruise is cancelled, we wouldn't have the option to take the 125% at that time if I took it for the Feb cruise?

Depends: If Disney cancelled your October Cruise and then you use the FCC on a Feb 2021 cruise, and then now that cruise is cancelled, you will carry your Oct FCC to the next cruise you book, so you will not get an additional 125% FCC on that Feb 2021 cruise since the Oct FCC was applied to it.

But, say you had, 2 Feb cruises booked, 1 being a rebook from Oct and 1 being a new cruise (so that you can do a back to back cruise ) and assuming the new cruise is PIF, then you will get 125% FCC on that new Feb cruise that did not have a previous FCC applied. So in this case you would get 2 FCCs. You just can't have a FCC on a cruise that is using a FCC from a previous cruise.

I hope that makes sense.

Neither cruise has been rebooked with an FCC. Both were booked on opening day. But I understand that if I use the FCC to pay off my July cruise and it is cancelled, I cannot get the FCC again.

I think you are saying you have a Feb 2021 cruise and a July 2021 cruise. The Feb 2021 cruise just got cancelled by Disney, so you can either take 100% refund or take the 125% FCC to apply to a future cruise.

You are contemplating applying the 125% FCC to your July cruise. Then if the July 2021 cruise also gets cancelled by Disney, then you are correct, you will not get a 125% FCC on your July cruise. But your Feb 2021 FCC that you applied to your July 2021 cruise is still valid, and you can move that entire FCC amount to another cruise prior to May 2022.

Now, hypothetically, lets say your Feb cruise cost $2400 (excluding taxes and fees) that means you walk away with a $3000 FCC. Lets say your July 2021 cruise costs $6000 (excluding taxes and fees) and if it got cancelled you would get a $7500 FCC. So if you apply your Feb FCC to July and July cancels, you will not get the $7500 FCC but you will be able to use the $3000 FCC along with the rest of the money you paid to put on another future cruise. But lets say you know you will want to take 2 more cruises in early 2022 if July gets cancelled. Then I would put the Feb ($3000 FCC) towards a 2022 cruise. and then if July gets cancelled, you will also get the $7500 FCC to use for your second cruise in early 2022. i.e. you will have 2 FCCs you can use.

i hope this helps.

Also part of a February 2021 cancellation. Does anyone know if the FCC applies to on-board activities as well? So let's say hypothetically, you had a 7-day cruise booked for $4500 and get $5625 in FCC; an equivalent cruse in Feb. 2022 goes for roughly the same ($4500) - can I use the $1125 for items like Remy/Palo, excursions, and to pay for my bar bill?

We have a March 27th Western booked - fully expect to be cancelled. We are already PIF from a June 2020 Southern that was cancelled. I'd really like to book June 2022, but they are not released yet. (We also have September and Christmas 2021 booked on the Fantasy and I sure hope they sail.)

Yes

Currently, you can only use your FCC for sailings up to May 2022. Disney has released cruises through April 2022 (not counting the sold out Hawaii cruise in May). If cancellations continue, I am sure Disney will extend the date.

Just to make sure we are all speaking apples to apples: the hypothetical $4500 (is for passenger fare only, excluding all taxes and port fees) and that equates to the $5625 FCC. So when I book the Feb 2022 for $4500 + taxes and fees. any remaining balance from the FCC automatically becomes an onboard credit in your account which can be used for anything that shows up on your cruise bill (Tips, Bar tab, Palo, Remy, Port Adventures, Golf Simulator, Spa, etc...). One other example to take into account is that you book a substantially cheaper cruise and you have a huge onboard credit, any credit not used up at the end of your cruise is forfeited back to Disney, meaning you will NOT get a refund of any unused FCC credit from your onboard account (though, I do not think many of us will fall into this situation).

Thank you - this is super helpful. And exactly what I was hoping for.
