mkstewartesq Posted November 11, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 11, 2015 We are repricing our cruise under the new sale to take advantage of the onboard credit. Even though the base price of the cruise is a bit higher than we initially booked, the onboard credit still gives us a positive benefit, since we figure we can apply it to things we were going to spend on anyhow and still have extra left over. However, it looks like we are currently booked for the 6 o'clock seating dinner. We were always planning to change this to My Time Dining, understanding that that would mean we need to prepay the gratuities. However I understand that the onboard credit cannot be retroactively applied to purchase made prior to boarding, such as drink packages purchased in advance or pre-paid gratuities. So we plan to wait until we get on board to buy our drink packages. Is it similarly possible to leave our dinner reservations as is and then switch to My Time Dining on the ship so we can apply our OBC to gratuities? Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow1 Posted November 11, 2015 #2 Share Posted November 11, 2015 You don't have to prepay gratuities any more for MTD. We had our prepaid gratuities removed from our cruise total and plan to use our OBC to pay for them once on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akcruz Posted November 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 11, 2015 If you really want MTD I would do it now. As it become more popular it often fills leaving those that want it out. As the previous poster mentioned you no longer are REQUIRED to pre-pay the gratuities for MTD although they like you to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mike MTD is very popular and waiting to book while on board may be a problem as their quoto for MTD might be maxed out. When booking MTD, you do not have to prepay gratuities any more. If you can I would switch to MTD now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
