Booking onboard and combinable OBC

[fpcruiser]

I have never booked onboard before and i could not find the answer. How much OBC do you get for a 13 night cruise and is it combinable with shareholders and MyVegas OBC?  Thank you

It is combinable with shareholder OBC.  No clue about MyVegas OBC.

I dont see it but the usual obc is for nonrefundable deposits. 

 

I booked solo 7 days and got $75 obc, not $100.

We put the deposit down onboard last year and then booked the week after, so still got the OBC. I was also able to add the MyVEGAS freeplay (which you have to do within 30 days of booking the cruise).

 

I then also got additional random OBC , which I think may have been a contribution from the casino for what I gambled (and lost) last year - customer services could t tell me what it was for!

don't bother with the OBC, get the 10% off from MyVegas-

 

I booked on board, then got the 10% off applied when we got home

Hi, I have never booked onboard. What do they offer you to make it worth while and how does it work. Thanks

Apparently you didn't read the five prior posts.

Booking onboard gives you some obc and a lower deposit. This is for a nonrefundable deposit. The deposit for refundable is the same, not reduced and you get less obc for refundable deposit bookings. Couples for instance I was told for the 7 day I booked would have gotten $76 obc rather than $100 if they booked refundable... I booked DP340 solo so it came back overnight onboard at $75 obc solo. Only $1 less than what a couple would have gotten. 

 

Then I transferred to my ta to change my refundable onboard booking to a group rate price, with my D+ and DP340 discounts. 

 

If you want a refundable group rate, be sure and book refundable onboard. You cant book nonrefundable to get the full $100 obc for 7 days and then move it to a refundable group rate. Once you book nonrefundable it stays that way. For me I sacrificed the extra $25 obc to get refundable.

That's only because or rounding and sometimes couple still get the $75.  If they apply it to one guest then it is $75, if it gets split between 2 guests it is $37.50 per guests but they round up to $38 peer guest.  No different than the Diamond discount, sometimes you get $225 othertimes you get $226, its just based on whether they apply it to one or 2 guests
