Pre-Pay On Board Credit

[Spire2000]

I am hoping to surprise my wife next week with some pre-paid OBC. She will be very reluctant to order drinks or whatever as she hates having a bill at the end of a cruise. I would like to have money on the account to begin to relax things.

 

I can't for the life of me figure out how to add the OBC via the RC website. Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

You must call and purchase OBC over the phone. From the RCI website under Gifts & Gear....

 

"If you would like to purchase an On-board credit for an existing reservation, please call 800-722-5443. (Gift Certificates cannot be applied to sailings within 10 days.)"

Aha! Thank you!

Aha! Thank you!

You're welcome. Enjoy your cruise.:)

If you do purchase the OBC, make sure they send you a confirmation and be sure to print it and take it with you. It likely will not show up on your online account and at least the printed confirmation will be less hassle once you board.

This is a great idea! My DH feels the same way about the bill!

Also, prepaid OBC from Gifts and Gear usually doesnt show up on your onboard account as a credit until the second day so dont get worried if you board the ship and its not showing on your account.

 

You can charge up to 500.00 on a 7 day cruise before they will ask you for any money :)

 

Printing out the confirmation as pointed out above is a great idea.
