Celebrity Visa Points for OBC

I am going to use my Celebrity Visa points to purchase some OBC. We have the 4 four perks Prem drink pkg, unlimited internet, gratutities & OBC which I've already spent on dining pkg & excursions. My points will get me $300 in OBC if we don't use it all can we use it to give extra to our cabin steward or use in the casino. I'm sure I'll use some for gift shop, bingo & maybe some photos. Anyone have any experience with the OBC purchased with Celebrity points?

I put a big chunk of points into OBC for our cruise last month, which I used for pre-booking shore excursions, some spa products for my wife, a couple of bottles of wine... I did not ask about extra gratuities, used cash for that. I think any unused OBC is refunded, but I used all we had.

I have used the points for OBC but mostly recently I use them to for the cruise price reduction option. If you wait until after Final Payment, and redeem your points, there will be a credit on your next card statement.

Just returned from a cruise where I had some Visa OBC. For the first time ever, I had a credit at the end of the cruise and it was credited to the credit card I used for my onboard account within a few days after the cruise.

When I redeemed my points for the OBC, it was a very quick process and Celebrity also acknowledged it on-line saying I could use it ahead of time. Very smooth process.

My husband and I always have separate accounts with separate credit cards onboard. The weird part was that they took my credit card OBC that only had my name on it and split it between the two accounts. That would be understandable, but then they took our TA OBC, which was in both of our names, and gave it all to me. They switched it around at my request, but thought I'd put it out there so people will check onboard.
