Obc, wow

Looking at booking a 14 day transatlantic for next yearr in a balcony cabin, I've added up the obc I will get and it comes in at $1255. That's a record for me, what's the best you have had.

Wow is right - that's a nice chunk of OBC - had $1,100 on a 14 night. Would be helpful if you shared the breakdown!

Does the $780 include or exclude the free gratuities?

$250 Military Benefit

$250 Shareholder Benefit

$500 in lieu of drink package

$200 Future cruise deposit

This is definitely the most OBC we've ever had.

I hope some of it besides the Military is refundable!

I too thought of that! Would like to know the answer.

dang. I think the best we've ever got was $100. That's on our very first cruise and we spent it renting a tux. Duh.

On my upcoming cruise in November, I’ll have about $850 in OBC plus I have the pre-paid gratuity promotion and specialty restaurant dinner. On a 15-day cruise, the gratuity savings is significant.

No the $780 is just straght obc, lots of UK cruises have it at the moment

On my upcoming Baltic, I've got $250 Military

$250 Stock

$150 Future Cruise

$300 On board Promotion

$950 Total, that's the most we've ever gotten! I'm wondering how I'll spend it all.

Most of the OBC deem to be non-refundable. I am wondering can you cash out OBC, even with heavy discount.

We had a moveover offer earlier this year, with the offer and military credit we have $2100

My $730 high is coming up in Nov. I'm spending $200 on an excursion for both of us, $150 for the Ultimate Ship Tour for me, and $120 for two Crab Shack meals for the both of us. I doubt I'll drink $260 worth at the bar (darn doctor looking after my health!) so I'll be looking at the gift shops. Or maybe the casino, but since I live in Nevada, that doesn't hold too much appeal.

$250 shareholder credit

$150 FCC

$300 on board promo

$30 customer goodwill (they changed our cruise date by 4 days and gave us $15 each for the inconvience)

Wow lucky you!! For me it doesn’t matter my wife has it all spent as I am filling out the health form at the pier :(.

Our best was around $650 for seven days--actually a 3-day and a 4-day combined. It was back when Princess was trying out short cruises from Florida and having trouble selling them.

Well just rebooked cabin onboard total now is $1315, so I'm a happy bunny

Ours would be $1120 for our upcoming cruise. Wishing it wasn't out first with Princess so that we could add FCC to it :p;p:hearteyes:

Here’s my credit of my cruise in a few months.

$250 Military Benefits

$250 Stock Benefits

$50 Voyage Goodwill

$50/Travel GRP promotion

$75 Future Cruise Depositon

$250 Shareholders Benefits

$150 Onboard Credit Promotion

Total of $805

I can also add the 3 BVE’s that I took before booking the cruise as a credit towards my cruise costs = $117. Plus I have pre-paid gratuity of $189.

I have heard that some people have played in the casino a little bit to get back there OBC & then transferred the $ to there card & then cashed it out.

What's the difference in Stock Benefits and ShareHolders Benefits ?

It appears they listed the same thing 2x with slightly different labels. However, they did not add both of them in. They said $805 total but the list has an extra $250.
