DamWamWeRCruising Posted April 26, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I received a large amount of OBC due to a price drop on my cruise. Can you use this towards booking a new cruise once on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrhdhd Posted April 26, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2022 No. That's about the only onboard purchase that can't be paid for with OBC. You'll have to use a credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted April 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Because this gets asked so often I've compiled a list of things to spend OBC on. The only thing I know of now that you CAN'T buy with OBC is a deposit on a Future Cruise. You need a credit card for that. Also, there may be some card game in the casino with a cash only buy-in. If they do a fundraiser, like selling t-shirts to “save the reefs” and the like, expect to need cash for that. Otherwise, here you go: *Acupuncture *Airport transfers *Alcove Rental (some ships) *Apple products etc. and Ilounge classes *Art Auction Purchases *Babysitting *Barber Shop services *Behind the Scenes Tours *Beverages -- Alcoholic, carbonated soft drinks, specialty coffees and teas, bottled water — if not in your package, also beverages above your package limits *Bingo and Deal or No Deal *Bottles of wine *Casino *Chef’s Table *Corkage charged if you bring your own bottles of wine to the MDR *Duty free liquor and cigarettes *Extra cost entrees and other items in Main Dining Room and specialty restaurants *Extend Your Stay program *Fitness classes *Flowers *Gelato *Gift shop souvenirs, purses, watches, cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, etc. *Gratuities, and extra gratuities *Guests dining with you in Luminae (applies to Suite Passengers only) *Guest entertainers' CD's and DVD's *Hair and nail salon *Hollywood hot glass experiences (some ships) *Internet if not in your package, also Internet upcharges *Laundry/pressing/drycleaning *Liquor Tasting events *Luggage Valet *Martini Flights *Medical Center purchases (but not treatments) *Mini bar *Portrait photo sessions *Pay-per-view movies *Persian Gardens passes *Personal Training Sessions *Photos & cameras *Room service up charge items, and late night delivery fee *Ryde spinning classes *Shore Excursions *Shuttle to town (some ports) *Spa -- massages and treatments *Specialty restaurants *Teeth Whitening *Telephone calls using ship's system *Transfer to another passenger's account *Voyage in Review DVD *Wine and liquor tastings *Zumba 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a large OBC from Celebrity and a significant amount from our travel agent. Can unused OBC from the travel agent typically be redeemed for a credit card credit or cash?

Can unused OBC from the travel agent typically be redeemed for a credit card credit or cash? Depends on whether the OBC from the TA is refundable or not. We've always received refundable and if we didn't spend it, the amount was credited to our charge card. However, on our last cruise, part of the TA OBC was through a promotional and it was non-refundable. All of the non-refundable (X & TA) appeared in my Cruise Planner before the cruise. The refundable showed up once we were underway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
