wowzz Posted November 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2022 As a Brit, I can pre-purchase obc at an advantageous fx rate. My understanding is that if I do not use this obc, it will be refunded. Can anyone please explain how the refund will be paid. We are on a Southampton round trip, and obviously do not want a refund in the form of a USD cheque. Thanks for any help and advice.

Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted November 17, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I don't know if you ever got an answer for this...but it may very well be done in US dollars. I'm sure that's not what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargassoPirate Posted November 17, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Wowzz, I've never had any unused OBC because I put the pencil to it carefully before the cruise and usually manage to use it all. If I book with the Plus package, I use any OBCs for excursions or specialty dining just to burn through them. There are some cruises where the TA gives me enough OBC to cover the staff tips, so I go ala cart for drinks and wifi. I don't need wifi, and I usually only have a wee dram or three in the evening. I'm somewhat of a frugal, low-key cruiser and any day at sea is a good day for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Sky Princess in September we were able to take our unused pre-paid OBC in cash from Guest Services (we had $200 unused and were told we could take up to $250 in cash, although others have said that this was not an option on other ships). It was in USD but as it was cash I passed it on to a friend who is travelling to New York at the same price we paid Princess for it. We got our money back and my friend got $200 for her trip a lot cheaper than she would have paid elsewhere... win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also have unused OBC that we purchased. I was hoping to use it for additional tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martha1974 Posted November 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 21, 2022 We cashed it in on the (late) afternoon of the last sea day… I didn’t want to leave it too late into the evening to avoid long queues at Guest Services. This was the wording on the Disembarkation Information that was left in the cabin 2-3 days before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
