esimon Posted January 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2022 can you book dining etc on line with OBC? I think the answer is no. If you book on line and pay, will they switch to OBC for you when you get on board?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you book on line and pay, will they switch to OBC for you when you get on board?? First question is NO. Second is "sort of". As I understand, if you cancel pre-booked dining, the credit goes to your onboard account. If you have extra left over after the cruise, it goes back to your credit card, so I guess in a way you do get to use your OBC when you rebook your dining reservation onboard. Does this make sense?

Rare Hlitner Posted January 22, 2022 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Once aboard, in theory you can ask Guest Relations (the pursers office) to apply your OBC to the bookings and issue a credit. Prior to COVID we had a situation where an accounting swap was done with the credit issued as refundable OBC. At the end of the cruise any refundable OBC would then be credited back to one's credit card or sometimes paid out in cash (it used to depend on the amount owed). But that was then and this is now and procedures on HAL (and other cruise lines) always seem to change. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Suzy Posted January 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Prior to the COVID pause, you could call three days prior to embarkation and reserve shore excursions with OBC. Don't know if this is still true or not. Or if dining reservations would be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAS4331 Posted January 22, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I was wondering if we can use OBC to get wifi, for laundry, or for spa/beauty shop services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
