38. The Strategic Use of Future Cruise Credits (FCCs)

If you have a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) from a canceled sailing or a loyalty program, understand its full value. These aren't just one-time discounts.

Savvy travelers track their FCCs carefully, strategically applying them to upcoming bookings to maximize their impact, often turning a past inconvenience into a future dream cruise at a deeply discounted rate.
