Can you use OBC to pay for shore excursion?

[LadyLuck]

First time on NCL in March--With the WAVE promotion for shipboard credit, we have gotten some with our recent booking. Can anyone tell me if the OBC can be used for NCL shore excursions? I've looked at the online profile, and it shows that for the excursion, I can just "add to itineary." So, do we have to prepay if we book online? Thanks for you help.

Yes, you can use onboard credit to pay for shore excursions. You do not pay for the excursions til the end of your cruise.

All your excursions booked through NCL are paid at the end of the cruise on your room account, so you can use an OBC for that expense.

 

You can use your on-board credit for gift shopping, drinks, specialty restaurants, bowling fees, anything you would use your key card to purchase.

Since we just asked this onboard not even two weeks ago, they told me that there used to be differentiation between some OBCs, but not anymore. They can also go toward the daily service charge (tips).

Since so many cruisers have some sort of on-board credit, and since the only guaranteed charge is going to be the daily gratuity, does NCL cut the fee (to some percentage of full amount) to their employees when an OBC is part of the booking?

I was happy to hear this too when I called last week. Won't have to worry about the tips as my OBC will take care of that!
