Next Cruise OBC lost if you upgrade?

[irishgal432]

If you purchase a cruise on board and receive OBC will that OBC go away if you upgrade later?

I got extra OBC when I upgraded to a JS. I originally booked a Balcony room when on board the previous year.

No as a matter of fact ours went up. We booked an OV room on board and paid a $50 deposit and took $50 OBC on the future cruise. We then upgraded that booking to a balcony and our OBC went up to $100. The deposit stayed at $50. I thought they would ask for another $50 but they did not.

 

We have done it twice. The second time the $50 went to $150 (9 night cruise) and we still only have a $50 deposit on it

This has been our experience as well. On our next cruise we booked while on board Serenade, an ocean view cabin with $100 OBC. We then upgraded to a balcony and our OBC increased to $150. It did not change when we upgraded to a JS.

When we went from an Inside Cabin to a Promenade Window Cabin, we had to relinquish our $100 OBC. I felt the benefit from the bigger cabin and the window outweighed anything I might have done with the $100. Plus, I can always bring more money. I can't "bring more cabin."

Doesn't sound right to me somehow. ;-)

Sounds like that lost OBC was from some sort of booking promo, not from booking on board.

I agree.

I lost $200 OBC from an on-board booking when I went from OV to balcony a few months later. I was told the sale price on the balcony was for new bookings only so the original booking had to be canceled. The balcony was $300 more than the original OV, then at a recent price drop I got a $325 reduction. So in the final accounting it cost me $175 more for a balcony on a 10-night.

This is a bit different situation than was presented by the OP. In this case, they refused upgrading the current booking, so they made you cancel to take advantage of the sale price. Cancelling a booking made onboard will forfeit the OBC from booking onboard.

 

As long as the original booking is changed (not cancelled), then the OBC from booking on board should remain.
