erisajd Posted May 17 #1 Share Posted May 17 I submitted my OBC form. They approved it. How long does it take to appear on my pre-cruise account? And then - what does it look like? They approved it this past Tuesday [May 14] - Does it appears as a line item such as "Shareholder OBC: $100] or in some other format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14pp Posted May 17 #2 Share Posted May 17 It should appear immediately after confirmation and will display as "Onboard Spending Money" On a desktop computer, when you go into the vacation summary for the particular sailing, it will show: Reservation At-a-Glance Reservation #: Embarkation: Disembarkation: Onboard Spending Money: ************** Payment Status: Completed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9tee2Sea Posted May 18 #3 Share Posted May 18 and also, use it all, or lose what's left. Last time I had an OBS of 250.00. I purchased a great pair of binoculars ( I would never spend that amount for a pair of binoculars) plus some other stuff from the gift shop. Used it all.

jules181 Posted May 18 #4 Share Posted May 18 If they approved it, it should already be there. I just had shareholder OBC approved earlier this week. I noticed it on my reservation before they sent me the email. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erisajd Posted May 18 Author #6 Share Posted May 18 Thanks all. Interestingly it appeared as a $50/$50 on each of sides of the reservation. You would think that it would show as a single $100 credit to me since my wife is not on my IRA account! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're traveling with a friend and not a spouse it actually matters if the OBC is split. I bought the shares and shouldn't have to share the credit.

If a good friend was paying half the cost of my cabin, I will gladly share half of my itchy-and-scratchy bucks with them. If I don't like them that much, I'm not sailing with them. In fact, if my name is first on the reservation and we take a Shorex together, I'm going to pay them $25 to offset my discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also recently discovered that if you put a note on the form to only appply the credit to my account and not split it, they will. 1 hour ago, ChiefMateJRK said: If a good friend was paying half the cost of my cabin, I will gladly share half of my itchy-and-scratchy bucks with them.

I agree with you on the $50 shorex credit. I’ll happily share that. The benefit doesn’t cost you anything and I think both should get some benefit from it. It’s fine if you’re booking it upfront and have to pay in advance. As the “first” sailor, I just pay for two, divide the cost in half and have my friend pay me. It’s a little more complicated when you’re booking onboard as the credit will only show on my account. We just work it out amongst ourselves. But I look at the OBC differently. My stock, my credit. 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russiamomm Posted May 20 #14 Share Posted May 20 Just a footnote. On Friday I submitted the form for my October Bermuda cruise. Again, I’m traveling with a friend. I forgot to add the note to apply it only to me, so I was anticipating it being split. Today I got notice it was applied. They posted it as a $50 purchased OBC certificate just to me. I have no idea why, but either way it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use it or lose it. It also can’t be used for the casino or for your daily service charges. But it’s good for just about anything else. Food, drinks, spa, gift shop, excursions (if booked onboard), etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngrund Posted May 21 #17 Share Posted May 21 1 hour ago, Joan18 said: wow. i didn't know that. So if you don't spend all the money, you don't get it back? Yes, I gave back about $11 on my last cruise wife and I took her nephew with us so there were 3 of us in the suite but the shareholder OBC was split between wife and myself, and by mistake we used his card in NYC for a few drinks. If it was wife or me, the taxes would have come off our non-refundable OBC. I also bought refundable OBC and they gave us each $25, so I didn't realize that I had some leftover until it was almost time to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
