DaveOKC Posted April 26, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Does anyone have the current amounts of OBC given when a FCC is used to book a cruise? It depends on the cabin category and length of cruise. From $25 to $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare VMax1700 Posted April 26, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted April 26, 2015 It depends on the cabin category and length of cruise. From $25 to $200. 21 day Westerdam, next March :D SS Suite. Is it $100 per pax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted April 26, 2015 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2015 21 day Westerdam, next March :D SS Suite.Is it $100 per pax? $100 US$ per passenger for a 21 day, $150 for 22-50 days, too bad you missed by one day! DaveOKC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZSandy25 Posted April 26, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Do you have to be on the ship to buy FCC or can you do it from home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boze9999 Posted April 26, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) You have to be on a ship, or have a friend/family sailing on a ship who will buy one for you. Typically, they need your personal info, including your Mariner number. Edited April 26, 2015 by boze9999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveOKC Posted April 26, 2015 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Also, watch for the "Thank you for sailing with us" email from HAL. Comes about 2 weeks after your cruise (and I think mostly if you purchase a future cruise deposit) and it basicallt doubles your OBC ($200 now in the OP's example).

Stratheden Posted April 28, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 28, 2015 We booked a future cruise yesterday and received $500 each OBC + Pinnacle + Cannaletto, + Internet + $50 each beverage card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayjay Posted April 28, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 28, 2015 We booked a future cruise yesterday and received $500 each OBC + Pinnacle + Cannaletto, + Internet + $50 each beverage card. Was that in connection with the current Anniversary Sale or just a promo for booking on board? And I'm sure you didn't book an inside for that amount of extras...;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveOKC Seems to be something only cruisers from the US/Canada seem to get. We got one of those thank-you e-mails after our March cruise and no doubling of onboard credit was mentioned. And we bought several FCC on board as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Alphen Posted April 28, 2015 #11 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Seems to be something only cruisers from the US/Canada seem to get.We got one of those thank-you e-mails after our March cruise and no doubling of onboard credit was mentioned. And we bought several FCC on board as well. I do not know how widespread it is in all of Europe, but we in Holland, get the same " thank you for cruising" mail and it works in combination with the FCC, but we have received the mail also when we did not have a FCC purchased. It does not double your OBC, but you can use them both for one cruise, so it actually ads up, in fact doubling your OBC.

DaveOKC Posted April 28, 2015 #12 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) We booked a future cruise yesterday and received $500 each OBC + Pinnacle + Cannaletto, + Internet + $50 each beverage card. The trick is to know all the deals HAL offers and which can be combined. Further, be sure the fare you pay has not been increased to give you the promotion. Booking an 11 day vs a 10 day cruise increased our OBC by $400 (for the cabin) - it was like getting the extra day for free. On our 11 day Caribbean cruise we ended up with $1300 in OBC, plus the Pinnacle & Cannaletto dinners , plus 100 minutes of Internet, and $100 in beverages! We used the Anniversary sale to start ($800 in OBC plus the extras), then the FCD ($200), the Thank You for Sailing email ($200), and finally the stockholder credit ($100).
