Drink packages and onboard credit

[Montana0120]

I apologize if this is a redundant question, but I am new to cruising. (First cruise on the 11th). My question is if I purchase a drink package when we first get on the ship, if the price will be deducted from onboard credit received when the cruise was booked. Thank you in advance.

Yes

Just make sure you don't buy the package before you board the ship. That will get charged to your credit card and not against your OBC.

That's what I assumed, but we all know what happens when you assume.

Just realize that it may be 1-2 days before that on board credit actually shows up on your account. Have a printout of what you are due just in case you need proof.

 

Our OBC showed up on day 2.

I understand about OBC not showing up til day 2, was just unsure if purchases made on day 1 would be eligible towards OBC.

Yes, all purchases are eligible for OBC. They add up all the purchaases and deduct OBC at the end of the cruise. Does not matter if the OBC shows up on day 2 or day 3, as long as it shows up before the end of the cruise.
