april47 Posted March 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I've been on a few cruises including a TA but have never had an OBC. I will have $200 one on my next cruise. What can you do with it? I don't drink. Can you use it in the casino or buying a soda pass? If you don't use it all do you forfeit it? Question: What do you do with yours?

SadieN Posted March 10, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Different OBC's have different rules. We have used ours for gratuities, casino, onboard purchases including soda and booze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennLuvs2Cruise Posted March 10, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Our OBC is usually spent in the casino or other S&S charges like alcohol, steakhouse fees, & shopping on board. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted March 10, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I wait until I board to book excursions and treat myself to one of the more expensive excursions. Jewelry, glitter shirts (I have pretty much all of them they sell lol), got a Carnival hoodie last time, I own pretty much all the booze from the shops.. citizens eco drive watch that runs off sunlight. Tips of course. If there are two of you its going to eat up a lot of that OBC from tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfadj Posted March 11, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Never had a problem spending it. Use it for tips, internets, drinks and DW will always find stuff to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdamion Posted March 11, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Depending on the type of OBC, you will get it back. Solo, I will usually use up my OBC plus spend some. One time I got a refund. When with girlfriend, there is not an OBC high enough that she can't overcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I would have a problem even if I didn't drink.

marshhawk Posted March 11, 2012 #17 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Book an excursion that you really want to do. WE have 100 on our next cruise, it does go quickly, but will cover a non alchoholic fruit punch, a photo, and one small excursion..;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
