What is the largest OBC you have gotten ?

[ilm28411]

I was just wondering what the largest OBC you have gotten from booking your cruise to your actual cruise sail date. Thanks

We had a little over $500 for each of our cabins on the Fascination for a Christmas cruise in 2008. My parents had booked the cruise in the summer for our whole family. That fall is when the economy tanked. By the time December rolled around the price had gone way down. We had 4 cabins on that cruise and we all had a ton of money to spend.

We got a total of 440.00 OBC back in August of '09 on the Glory. We had adjoining cabins, so it was 220.00 per cabin, but since my kids were in the other cabin, my DH and I really felt like we were special! Price dropped about 10 days before heading out and we had the ES. I was TICKLED pink!

A big fat ZERO!

$700. Would have been more but my TA would have had to give back some of her commission. I decided we would have to do with the $700 :)

Most got them before the start of the Early Saver program.

 

$360 a piece on two cabins. I don't think we paid for a thing on the ship the entire cruise.

When you see a price drop you can either take OBC or upgrade your overall price.

On our last cruise in Nov. on Royal Caribbean, we got $950. We had paid in full but the price of the cruise kept going down so we got OBC instead of an upgrade. We cashed out what we didn't spend the last day and went home with cash in our pocket. That was a first!

[Litewait]

One cabin, over New Years, after booking Early Saver. Then I ended up cashing out the $60 remaining dollars to bring home. A month later got a refund check from Carnival for another $53... Great cruise!!:D

...but only if you have booked the Early Saver rate!

[navybaby1113]

$340 on our Dream cruise.

Wow, there are some large OBC's, congrats! Our largest was $250 but we were happy w/ that.

we didn't either. I actually went to the casino on the last night and got cash against my OBC. Used it for lunch at the airport :)

 

No, we don't have the credit card. Just watched the prices. Saw a drop of what I thought would be $100 OBC. TA called back and said, "you're never going to believe this". Apparently, there was a price drop and even though we live in PA, we were using a DE travel agent, so we got linked in to a DE resident discount. I really coudln't believe it, but when we printed our docs, there it was. And when we got to our cabin, it was on the TV.

$800 on our Carnival Freedom in the Med cruise in 2007.

Early saver -- booked at 949 a person ..went down to $779 a person which amounts to $170 a person plus the cost of isnurance went down $28 due to the lower cost so my early saver on board credit was $368.. and the $400 was my carnival master card fun points... not too shabby

[MamaParrotHead]

I had about $600 between two cabins from when I booked to when we sailed in OBC from the ESR.

[Lizzzys]

$180 X 2 (we had an adjoining cabin for our kids)

 

We sail in 3 days and I'm still addicted to checking every couple of hours to see what the new pricing is!! I don't know how I'll get out of that habit :)
