Just off the Breakaway on 1/27. I had $425 OBC and went to the casino one night, used room key to get $400 for craps and it came out of my OBC. I lost $50 real quick and decided to call it quits and cash out and put their money in my pocket.

I tried this last March on the Breakaway.  It did not work.  I tried several different days and was told that any chips would be charged against my credit card on file...not debited from my OBC.  Returned chips would result in a credit to the credit card.

 

These two statements are inconsistent.  The successful attempt was more recent, I wonder if the policy changed or if there was another unstated variable.

You are given cash for 'returned chips'.

 

 

Correct.  I knew that, from posts here...just mis-remembered it.

 

I don't know if NCL has changed their policy.  I only know that on the Breakaway last March they would not give me chips debited against my OBC.  They would be debited against my credit card on file.

 

As I mentioned, I was hoping to cash out some of the OBC we got as a perk.  It didn't work, we ended up buying liquor and jewelry to use up the OBC.  As a result, we now have a great supply of Sheridan's and tequila which will last us a long time.
