lachelli Posted January 21 #1 Share Posted January 21 Hello I am just looking at a bookiing a cruise and have noticed that some of VIPF offers are offering $1000 OBC, Can anyone please confirm what you can actutally spend this credit on, For instance can you use it to pay your daily gratutites or for purchasing drink packages. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjhootch Posted January 21 #2 Share Posted January 21 If it is a casino offer w/"fun play" it is a credit you get in the casino for use there. That is different than the OBC that is attached to your account and can be used to purchase anything that can be paid for with your room card. Some ships pay their "fun play" with cash at the casino cage. Others, it is just a credit attached to your casino account that you access by putting your card in a machine or using it to purchase casino chips. There are ways to convert fun play to usable cash, but they all involve playing in the casino. If you are on a ship that gives fun play as casino credit, you cannot just straight cash it out or transfer it to OBC. Obviously, if you are handed cash - you will be able to make purchases as if it were OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I got OBC as part of my VIPF offer. I was able to use it to pay for anything pre-cruise: internet, excursions, dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine5715 Posted January 21 #4 Share Posted January 21 All and any OBC is applied to any and all charges to your sail and sign. It also can be used precruise for purchases. There will be an option at Check Out to apply OBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunPlay is clearly noted in the offer as FunPlay and OBC is noted as On Board Credit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thread title said "OBC- Casino Offer". The casino offers usually include a small OBC. Generally, the amount of the required deposit for booking a cruise. Most casino offers that mention an amount as large as $1000 are offering it as "Fun Play" and not as an OBC. However, anything is possible and I have no idea what OP's offer actually said. So I mentioned both. OP needs to read the offer carefully to see if the offer is for $1000 OBC or Fun Play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are casino offers with $1000 OBC and the OP was quite clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryZ Posted January 22 #8 Share Posted January 22 We have $1500 in OBC on some of our casino offers. You can use it for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfs2k Posted January 22 #9 Share Posted January 22 If it’s an on board credit it posts to your stateroom bill (folio) as a credit. So anything you charge to your room is offset against your credit. If you don’t use it on things like liquor, excursions, photos, shop purchases, etc, you lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
