Unused OBCs

[Squirrel's Mom]

Just a quick question. Thanks to Celebrity, we will have a rather large (at least to me) OBC balance on our upcoming cruise. If by some weird hole in the universe we do not use them all, what happens to the balance? Do I lose them? Do they carry over to future cruises? Should I try to switch already purchased and paid for excursions to the OBC? Cash out the balance at the casino? Credit to my credit card? Buy a round of drinks at the bar?

 

Thanks for your help!

The one time this happened to us, they credited it back to our credit card. Keep in mind, you can also put the gratuities on your SeaPass account.

I was worried about that once also, so I just got some extra money out at the casino.

Any extra money on our account we always take out at the casino. Just go up to the casher with your seapass card. No problems

Thanks for the suggestions! Casino and tips. Sounds like a plan. It hadn't really occurred to me that I could take cash out before the end of the cruise. Appreciate your help.

Never didn't use all the OBC we've had but was told at the purser's desk that if we didn't use them they would be credited back to our account.

We like to use our onboard credit to do things that we normally wouldn't do - like go the spa and have a treatment. We figure that since we normally budget a certain amount to use on the trip anyway, any onboard credit that we have is found money and to be used to treat ourselves to things out of the ordinary.

Gosh, UNUSED shipboard credit???? I've never experienced that. Tell me how you do it!!

How about a nice bottle of champagne and some caviar before dinner? A spa treatment? A cappucino in the Cova Cafe? Or how about turning that credit into some winnings with the final snowball jackpot bingo game?
