Future Cruise Credit FAQs



Can a Future Cruise Credit (FCC) be used for multiple bookings, or can it only be used once?

FCCs can be applied across multiple bookings if there is a balance remaining. Any remaining FCCs in your account will be available for use on a new or existing booking until the balance is used or it expires.


Can I combine Future Cruise Credit (FCC), deposits, and promotional offers?

Yes, you can absolutely combine credits and offers, but you must follow specific rules regarding how they stack. Holland America is generally very flexible, allowing you to use multiple types of credits on a single voyage.


What happens if my Future Cruise Credit (FCC) is worth more than my booking cost?

If the value of your Future Cruise Credit (FCC) is greater than the base fare of your chosen voyage, you will not lose the extra money. The remaining balance stays securely attached to your account.


Who should I contact if I booked through a travel advisor?

You must contact your Travel Advisor directly. Because your booking is managed by an outside travel agency, Holland America’s customer service agents are restricted from modifying your file. Your Travel Advisor holds legal control over the reservation and must make the changes for you.
