Drink package sales/ using RC credit

[Blitzburggirl]

Hi all!

 

So, I've decided the drink package is something we want on our upcoming cruise. I've seen that Royal makes it exciting by changing the price day to day - (so annoying.)

I've seen people say to buy when it's at a price point you can live with, keep checking back, and if it drops to cancel and rebuy at the lower price. Ok. I get that (even more annoying but I like my money.)

 

What I'm curious about is this- we have $75 credit (doesn't say OBC) and when I applied to the purchase of the drink package, it indeed was applied, therefore package reduced by that amount. If I find a better priced day, and do the return, and rebuy, will that credit still be mine or will I forfeit it? I know the money will be back on my card in a few days, if I get the credit back, does it come back immediately? 

 

And here I thought the "Free at Sea" / Sail Away math gymnastics of Norwegian was annoying.

 

TIA!!

Yes, the credit will go back to you. I am fairly certain it goes back immediately.

If you cancel a purchase through the cruise planner, the OBC will be refunded immediately and be available for re-use.  The credit card refund takes a couple of days to process.

I cancelled and re-booked DX & refreshment packages yesterday due to a price drop with RC customer service.  Onboard credit was refunded immediately and they were able to use it when re-booking right away.  Same has always gone for ones we did online.
