OBC

A couple of OBC questions.  Will our OBC be used if we pre pay tips?  Same question for excursions. We have refundable and non refundable OBC.

I’m not an OBC expert, but I do know there are some credits that can only be used onboard, and other monies can be used to pre-purchase excursions, gratuities, etc.  You need to know what type of OBC you have. My invoice notes that my current OBC can be used prior to sailing, and it will be applied to excursions, tips etc as I book them. (Look at the pre purchased items PDF on your invoice email.) In the past, I have received OBC that could only be used onboard the ship, so I never pay for gratuities in advance so I can use those credit as we sail.

The 18 month final payment for new be cruisers is not new. We payed 18 months out for our May 2023 Homeland cruise, in Dec. 2021.

I was also going to send you to your Viking invoice for the answer.

 

I've snipped a picture of what it looks like on the page to make it easier to find. SBC is a type of voucher. The legend below will tell you how each type may be used.
