f1rstxlas7 Posted November 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hey all, new to cruising and have a trip booked on the Getaway next year. I can't seem to find any recent info on the process for cashing out non-refundable OBC via the Casino. Is it as simple as walking up the desk, asking for the OBC to be loaded to my room card, sit down at a slot machine, cash out, and bring a voucher back to the desk for cash? Or do they not provide cash at the desk, but instead apply it to your folio? Any and all info is welcome, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MarkusToe Posted November 7, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 7, 2022 So far I know, non ref OBC is not accepted at the casino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julig22 Posted November 7, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2022 You don't. To "cash out" obc you would add money (3% fee) to your account at one of the machines, then load it onto the machine, then cash out. The cash amount + fee is added to your onboard account. If you have non- refundable obc, you now owe the cash amount and still have available obc. Nonrefundable obc can't be used in the casino. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcipjr Posted November 8, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I tried withdrawing non-refundable OBC via a casino room charge on the Getaway in September, and Breakaway last week. Was unsuccessful both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputable folks here have, in the past, reported being able to put non-refundable OBC on a slot machine, and cash out the voucher—effectively cashing out non-refundable OBC. This doesn't appear to work anymore. You also can't use non-refundable OBC for purchase of CruiseNext certificates, which is an even bigger bummer.

MsTabbyKats Posted November 8, 2022 #8 Share Posted November 8, 2022 But....can't you still use Non-Refundable obc to play slots? And assuming you go thru the whole thing, cash out your winnings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had $100 OBC on my account, charged $115 to the room at a slot machine, spun a couple times and lost a couple bucks, and cashed the rest out. My onboard account showed I had a balance of $115, with $100 OBC available to use. Edited November 8, 2022 by dcipjr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in the process of revamping lots of rules just before covid hit. You also used to be able to pre book excursions and pay onboard with OBC.

So bought the soda package and a couple coffees at Starbucks, Still left the ship with $8.00 or so credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
