50$ On Board Credit is good and best used for?

[Mom2jocevan]

I've got (3) 50$ on board credits. What is the best way to use these? Can I combine them and use them towards the Thermal Suite Pass prior to sailing? Can the kids use them and get arcade tokens? Can we play bingo with them? I have not clue?

 

Oh, we saved up Visa Gift Cards over the past year. Can we use those on the ship? Put them towards our room charges?

Generally, any onboard purchases can be deducted from your OBC. There are no arcade tokens. You just swipe the room card and the fee for the game gets charged to our onboard account. Also, cannot use onboard credit to buy a spa pass ahead of time, but you can use it to buy a spa pass or treatments once onboard. You can use the OBC for Bingo.

You can't use it to purchase anything prior to sailing, as it applied to onboard spend (the clue is in the name).

 

It is added to your onboard account so can be used for anything that is charged to your account, except for the daily service charge (assuming it is non refundable OBC -we don't know that from your post. If it is refundable it can be used for the DSC).

 

Assuming you don't set up separate accounts for the kids (which I wouldn't suggest doing and only happens if you request it) then they can use it in the arcade. Bingo is fine too.

Great :) Thanks for your help!

Help me understand...so if we get onboard credit through a travel agent it cannot be applied towards our daily service charges once onboard?

What if you have 3 people in room and each puts a credit card on file. Which account does OBC deduct from since my OBC is applied to all guest in room TA said

You would have to check with your travel agent whether it is refundable or not.

That depends on who the OBC is allocated to.

 

If you set up individual accounts for each person then the OBC would only be available to the person whose name it has been allocated to, as it will be applied to their account.

 

Your TA is probably assuming that you will just have one account set up for everyone in the room, as that is the standard way it is done.
