Onboard Credits?

[ColoradoCruiseAddict]

Hello all,

 

I was curious what we are able to use our on-board credits for. Particularly if we would be able to use them to satisfy our tips if we went the charge to the account route? What are your thoughts and experiences?

Since your shipboard credits are like a credit waiting on your account when you board the ship, anything charged to your account will be deducted from them. Tips, shore X, purchases in the shops. Not a problem.

just the answer I was looking for, thanks!

 

to post a follow-up question: what is the best way that you've spent your on-board credits?

There are lots of ways to spend money on board - tours, drinks, spa, etc. It all comes out in the wash. But, if you don't plan to spend much and want to use up your credit, a nice bottle of wine or champagne is nice, or perhaps treat yourself to the Ultimate Balcony Dinner, or the Balcony Breakfast.

I have never had a problem spending the OBC. To start, tips are $10/day/person. We have a $200 OBC for tomorrow's cruise on the Regal. It is a 10 day cruise, so right there the credit is gone.

 

Beyond that you have shore excursions, drinks, the spa and the botiques in addition to the more luxury items.

 

If you have difficulty spending it, let my wife know :) she can wipe out any credit in seconds.
