WHEN? I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO OBTAIN THIS!!😜😜 You get OBC as a booking perk with Celebrity depending on cabin amounts change but you can also get OBC from some booking agents...Last year I got $1250... OBC in total. If you check you on screen acct in you cabin and it will tell you how much you have. IF it is OBC-N that is non refundable so spend it or lose it....if you have OBC-R if you don't spend it that amount will be returned to your credit card. I personally only spend non refundable and always return to my credit card the other amount...That means to me it is not a free perk, I am just charged more for my cruise...........

Aus ATC Posted January 4, 2020 #27 Share Posted January 4, 2020 We have $950 OBC for an upcoming cruise. $600 from the 4 perks (Australian bookings are priced with gratuities included so the 4th perk is an additional $150 per person), $200 from a "sale" booking, and $150 from a future cruise credit. Will probably take a couple of ships tours to make use of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NMTraveller Posted January 4, 2020 #28 Share Posted January 4, 2020 In addition to what others have mentioned there is the Shareholder benefit. The rules have changed so it is easier to get the benefit. https://www.rclinvestor.com/faqs/shareholder-benefit/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Click Posted January 4, 2020 #29 Share Posted January 4, 2020 16 hours ago, mafig said: I still rather have a cheaper cruise fare. Sometimes it is hard to spend all that OBC. Refundable is nice though. But I'd still like a lower price. We have a cruise from Rome to Venice booked for October. The deal looked really good back on Black Friday with and extra $200 from Celebrity, and an extra $100 from the TA on top of them pay our grats and tossing in another $375 in OBC. Sounds like a great deal right? I rebooked it today giving up the $200 from Celebrity and the extra $100 from the TA for a $500 price reduction and Celebrity is now paying out grats...so the whole trip is $200 cheaper. You have to do the math and see what deals fit your needs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickey89 Posted January 4, 2020 #30 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I wonder how much obc is as a result of Group Bookings by TA's. Celebrity give a free cabin every 7 cabins booked - that benefit is probably shared by the TA and it's clients. I recently received additional $200 obc a few weeks after paying my cruise deposit - that was probably the share of the group benefit ........... maybe !
