Gifted On Board Credit

[Lynnpins]

We will be cruising on the Encore next month.  My father gifted us on-board credit.  He forwarded me the Amenities Confirmation email and the credit is showing in my NCL cruise summary.

My questions:

Can this on-board credit be used in the Casino?

Is this considered refundable or non-refundable on-board credit?

 

I can't find this info anywhere on the NCL website....

Thank you!

Since it was purchased on your behalf with actual money, it should be considered refundable.

 

As far as casino, from what I have heard, you can use your onboard credit in the sense that onboard credit is used anywhere on the ship.  The money is applied to your account.  You purchase something onboard, it is charged against your account.

 

However, with the casino, just be aware that if you make a purchase in the casino (i.e., buying cash/chips with your onboard account), I believe it incurs a 3% service charge.
