With CCL you have the choice of paying the grats when you book, or have them on your S&S account. So any OBC you get goes on your account and you can use that for anything your heart desires.

I do not think freedom of the seas have "any time" dining:confused:. To be exact, no RCCL ship have freestyle. Am I wrong?

No, as far as I know you're not wrong. Princess has "Anytime Dining", NCL has "Freestyle Dining", and Holland America is introducing "As You Wish Dining". I haven't seen anything similar for RCCL, but expect it soon :)!

 

I don't know for sure, but I've never heard of an OBC that wasn't able to be used for any charges onboard (including tips). I think you really want to check with your TA or RCCL directly.
