We have $3000 to use up. 

Thinking drink package for sure. 

Not really looking at excursions as we have plans that involve hiring locals.

Can we direct this towards the daily tipping?  How much is this again? 

I understand we can use it for specialty dining fees. 

 

What are some other fun ideas to use up credit?  

 

Cheers

Internet

Excursions

auto gratuities

Haven’t sailed CCL in a while but on NCL I sit down at a table game (blackjack) use my sign and sail card to buy $500 in chips. Play a couple hands. The. Head the catchier with my chips.

How about donating to St Jude’s children hospital.

If the cruise is after the date that functionality takes effect, yes.

i can't as my cruise is just before the date that the policy of using OBC ahead changes.

We purchased a GoPro camera onboard when we had excessive onboard credit. You can also purchase accessories. Find a great camera and spend some "free" money on it!

Can you tell me the US cost of a gopro onboard, please?  We have a credit to use and I was contemplating buying a gopro in Canada before leaving for our March cruise. Thanks.

As others have said, I have been able to use OBC to purchase gift cards at Cherry on Top.  You can also go to guest services and add additional tips for your room steward or others.  They will print you out a receipt which gave to the room steward so that he knew to look for it in his paycheck.

We bought it a couple years ago...so from memory...maybe $400-$500?
