tokidoki Posted January 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hi cruisers! I received some onboard credit to use pre cruise. My ? is, since my reservation has it listed under me, cruiser #1, and not evenly divided, I wonder if I can make reservations for the 2 of us for an excursion? Anyone else had this experience? thx!

If you're both on the same reservation it should give you the option to book both of you when purchasing the excursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherries Jubilee Posted January 3, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Can you only use this credit before the cruise or can it be used onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it shows up in the planner, you can use it pre-cruise and/or onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokidoki Posted January 4, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted January 4, 2023 T & C states it’s pre-cruise. I’ve always gotten ONC that was only for onboard, but this ones different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Tree_skier Posted January 4, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 4, 2023 (edited) All OBC I have ever gotten pre-cruise was also available on the ship. I have had the reverse happen... OBC that didn't show up until day 2 onboard the ship but never as the OP described. Edited January 4, 2023 by Tree_skier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokidoki Posted January 4, 2023 Author #12 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Looks like 5 ships back in 2017, including Oasis, had a promo of pre cruise OBC, then leftover was converted to OBC. Sounds like my promo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetiepie3 Posted January 4, 2023 #15 Share Posted January 4, 2023 We had this same thing just pop up on our account for our May cruise.It specifically says pre-cruise OBC. We have had OBC many times but have never seen it spelled out for pre-cruise purchases. I’m concerned that if we don’t use it before cruising, we will lose it.

I think it specifies pre-cruise because in the past it wasn't available until boarding the ship but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted January 4, 2023 #18 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Pre-cruise OBC is an oxymoron. Of course it is available to use ON BOARD, whether or not you touch it in your Cruise Planner. RC is just giving you the opportunity now, as opposed to a couple of years ago, to spend some or all of it before you step foot on the ship.

tokidoki Posted January 4, 2023 Author #19 Share Posted January 4, 2023 according to T&C, I can pre book now and then remaining credit will be transferred to on board acct. If any remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that was true, you could buy something in the planner now, cancel on board before you use it and get OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBC issued by Royal will show up in the cruise planner and usually OBCs from a TA will show up on board on or about the 2nd day/night.

Some of that is changing. Group OBC is now issued before the cruise as opposed to on board. Obc the TA is gifting you still shows up on board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
