OBC top up question

[WeeCountyMan]

We have $200 OBC for a forthcoming 7 night cruise - resulting from a future cruise booking made previously and military benefit.

 

If I top it up with say (for example) another $150 in cash and don't use it all up - will I be able to get the difference (over and above the original $200) refunded ?

[Coveguy4]

YES ! Any OBC you purchase can and will be refunded!

[WeeCountyMan]

Thanks.

 

I reckoned such would be the case - but you know what they say about assumptions !!!

And is it possible to get the OBC refunded as cash on the ship. If so how ?

Not all OBC will be refunded. Only the portion of the unused military OBC can be refunded.

The question was if additional "purchased OBC" would be refunded, not any available OBC that was on account

Yes, absolutely.

If there is unused OBC that can not be given back as cash, then go to the casino and take out the money there... put your card in a machine, draw from your account and cash out.

Easy...go to Passenger Services on the last day before you get to the port. Ask for a breakdown of "refundable" vs. "nonrefundable" (assuming you have both types). The refundable can be given to you in cash right then. They will offer to "put it on your credit card as a refund". Don't do it. They don't put it on your credit card, they MAIL a check. It arrives on a slow boat from china:rolleyes: (takes a month or more).

If you have nonrefundable and want to try to get it. Go to the casino as described above and play slots or something. We did this on our last cruise. We had $60 nonrefundable. Played nickle slots for a very brief time and went home with $55.

No need to ask.

 

A printout of your account during the cruise will show which OBCs are "nr" (not refundable).
