jinteso Posted November 1, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 1, 2017 it depends on the type of obc non refundable can not be used refundable can be used Are you sure that is correct? That is true for the DSC but either type can be used for gratuities for butler and concierge and any "additional" gratuity for the cabin steward. So I guess the bottom line is what type of gratuity?

ready2cruzagain Posted November 1, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Are you sure that is correct?

You are correct. DSC cannot be paid with nonrefundable obc but butler and concierge gratuities can. You can use refundable to pay the DSC, we did last year. OP it depends on what you mean by gratuities, if you mean DSC then if refundable yes if non refundable then no. If you mean butler and concierge gratuities then yes with refundable and nonrefundable. The problem lies in the fact that some do not consider DSC to be a gratuity or tip but other do, so need to be more specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted November 1, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2017 We have OBC from NCl and some more from our TA. We've been told the credit from NCL is not refundable and can't be used for the DSC, while the credit from our travel agent can be. This, in my opinion, is a negative rule by Norwegian, since other lines usually do allow this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourofakind Posted November 1, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I have used non refundable OBC to give a nice tip to the splash academy counselors so it does depend on what your looking to do with it. It can not be used for your daily $13.99 service charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
