onboard credit

[heathermiller86nj]

Hi,

 

I remember recently reading that Royal Caribbean was allowing pre-cruise purchases to be made using onboard credit. Is this still an option when logging into mycruise through their website? Thank you very much.

Yes and yes

If it's OBC from Royal you will see it at the top of the screen when you login to the cruise planner. If it's OBC from say your TA then you won't be able to use it online ahead of time.

OBC from TA or just from RCL?

[jamesr3939]

Only the RCCL OBC will show up in your Cruise Planner.

TA OBC cannot be used pre-cruise.

I have a related question. What if I don't want to use the OBC when buying things on the planner. Do I have an option to opt out?

 

No biggie, just wondering.

Yes. It shows that it is available, but you have the option to not select and use it. We just decided to use our $100 OBC for specialty dining onboard and not use it on a cruise planner purchase.

Thank you!

We're glad RC and Celebrity are now doing this.

Yes, it's actually set up very well. There is a sliding bar that allows you to use all, part, or none of your OBC toward payment.

I once remember having leftover onboard credit and being refunded to my credit card.

 

Does anyone know offhand if it's the travel agent's credit or Royal Caribbean onboard credit that will be refunded to a credit card if unused? Thank you.

Royal Caribbean onboard credit is not refundable, with the exception of the recent storm cruisers who apparently did receive refundable onboard credit.

just a word of caution that your OBC can fluctuate with currency exchange.

My CDN is worth more to the USD recently - but therefore my OBC converts to less.

I should have used it right away (although it's only about $12 difference)

On the flip side - my drinks package went down slightly with the exchange

On the top of my cruise planner for my cruise.... it states 250.00 USD ... It states that" You can use your onboard credit in cruise planner. Just add products to your cart to get started. Can I use it onboard instead of pre cruise? Can I transfer it to another cruise? Can I put the credit toward a new cruise? Sorry for so many questions..... ;)

Thank you!!!!!!!

The only exception is if you have OBC from Visa Points, that can be transferred to another cruise.
