irishgal432 Posted October 29, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) If you purchase a cruise on board and receive OBC will that OBC go away if you upgrade later? Edited October 29, 2016 by irishgal432 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarky213 Posted October 29, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 29, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molly361 Posted October 29, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 29, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvscruising2007 Posted October 29, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2016 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.

Bookster99 Posted October 29, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2016 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. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like that lost OBC was from some sort of booking promo, not from booking on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sobro Posted October 29, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) 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.

I had the same thing upgrade to JS and lost 150 OBC. [emoji53] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
