joybaby Posted December 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted December 22, 2015 When one gets OBC, can it be used toward tips or must it be applied to spa, excursions, specialty dining, etc.? I know I have received it bef. and can't remember what the rules were. Thanks, joybaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CookieDiva Posted December 22, 2015 #3 Share Posted December 22, 2015 It has always worked toward Gratuities for me If you've already done prepaid gratuities but want to give someone a little extra, is there anyway to do this with OBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc320 Posted December 22, 2015 #4 Share Posted December 22, 2015 If you've already done prepaid gratuities but want to give someone a little extra, is there anyway to do this with OBC? Yes, you can go to guest services & they have a form you can fill out to add extra $$ to those who were especially helpful to you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berylde Posted December 22, 2015 #5 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Just off Independence I did not pre pay gratuities. RCL would deduct the tips from my obc daily. At end of cruise, I had + .36 cents, which Visa put back on my credit card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 22, 2015 #6 Share Posted December 22, 2015 ANYTHING you charge on the ship will go against the OBC...so it can be used for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Good to know! Just off Independence I did not pre pay gratuities. RCL would deduct the tips from my obc daily. At end of cruise, I had + .36 cents, which Visa put back on my credit card We had to prepay the tips because we had booked MTD (no choice - that's all that RCI made available to us 18 months out) and this was before they no longer required prepaid tips when you booked MTD. That's ok with us. One more item prepaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setsail Posted December 22, 2015 #8 Share Posted December 22, 2015 OBC is a credit on your on board account Any charge onboard is a debit to your on board account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have not already paid them with your final cruise payment, you can have them removed and pay on board, IF YOU WISH. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had read that. But we only have $200 in OBC right now. I'm sure that we'll have no problem spending that $. [emoji8] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
