OBC used for Gratuities (Crew appreciation)?

[lpmpsail]

Has anyone ever used your OBC for the Crew Appreciation charge at the end of the cruise?  I've heard conflicting answers and forgot to ask on our last cruise.  Thanks!

Just completed 21 days and our crew appreciation came out of our non refundable OBC. We had 11.10 left over. On the last evening we filled out a form to add that to our crew appreciation to zero out our OBC.

On Rotterdam two weeks ago and we had both 'Refundable' and 'Non Refundable OBC.  The non refundable was from HAL booking credit, using FCD credit and stockholder credit.

I watched our account and as the Crew Appreciation charge was applied to our account, the Non Refundable balance was reduced by the amount of the Crew Appreciation. 

So, yes you can use OBC for Crew Appreciation.

Was there a name for that form? On N Statendam in Aug/Sep we asked, at GS, if we could fill a form or something so we could give our remaining non-refundable OBC to the crew appreciation. We were told we could not do that.🙃
