zdd817 Posted August 15, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Do you receive OBC when you purchase your next cruise while on a cruise? I thought it was like the Next Cruise but instead of getting a booking number, you receive a reservation number??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted August 15, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Your onboard credit will be applied to your next cruise, not your present cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracee Posted August 15, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2009 yeah but, what's the amount of OBC you receive for your next cruise when you book whilst on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogimax Posted August 15, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2009 $50 per cabin for 3-5 nights. I know its $100 for 7 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracee Posted August 15, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2009 thanks yogimax. We are planning NE cruise on EOS 9 days next year--good excuse to take a 4 day now and book next years on board ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenfever Posted August 15, 2009 #6 Share Posted August 15, 2009 OBC's per cabin for booking onboard are $ 50 for 3-5 night sailings $100 for 6-9 night sailings $200 for 10+ night sailings There is a new incentive for booking on board which started last April when we were on the Member's cruise from Valparaiso to San Diego. Bookings on board now have reduced deposit and for sailings of 14+ nights the OBC is $300 per cabin. For first time cruisers or for those who are not P/D/D+, do not book a balcony and are not shareholders, this is a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicpersona Posted August 15, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2009 If you are a Diamond planning to book a balcony or above, or a stockholder planning to take advantage of the shareholder benefit, then there is generally no advantage to booking on board. You would be better off booking directly with a TA that offers some other incentive and using one of your other discounts. I suppose one could argue that booking on board locks in an OBC incentive rather than the Diamond/stockholder incentive that could vanish into thin air like chocolate mints or free champagne at the captain's party.

Rare Lionesss Posted August 15, 2009 #8 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Save me from doing the research. What happens if you book a cruise while on board for next year, and you have to move the week, do you lose the OBC, and is there a penalty? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks No cost or penalty if it is done before final payment. Just make sure that you keep your same booking number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
