Wish they would offer laundry facilities like NCL. Rough for families and even couples on longer cruises.

The OBC depends on the length of your cruise, and is the same whether you book the cruise onboard or find one and apply your NextCruise booking to it. Anywhere from $50 to $200.
The only possible negative is if you never use it, you've lost $100. Or if it offends you to tie up $100 for xx years when you could be making a few dollars a year off it (but look at the OBC you'll get as interest and you're way ahead). It never expires, so unless you do, the odds are pretty good that you'll get a handsome return on that $100 investment.
Wish their staff had been a little more helpful or knowledgeable about this when we booked on the Explorer. Hubby and I paid out $900 for future cruise deposits in order to get the OBC, and then we also paid $450 for his sister's cruise, only to find out later that she does not get the OBC. Turns out we changed the cruise from Panama Canal to Alaska anyway. Could have done this for $300 total (instead of $1350) and she would have gotten the OBC. Oh, well, now we know. Thanks for this good information. As it is, we would have used it almost immediately, but no OBC for our sister.

Your welcome.
As far as flights, I agree with you. We usually do custom air and have been very satisfied with our flights. RCI has saved us BIG BUCKS, especially on international flights. But it is good to check to see which is the best deal to go with.
Patti and Jim: LOVE your picture! What a good-looking, happy couple you are!

I am FAR from an expert in computers, but I just had an experience that might answer the above question. I had to do some "walk-through service" with a tech expert for a problem on my computer, and he explained that when I removed the "cookies" (which I had to do to solve my problem), I would need to enter my password each time. Hope this explanation helps you.
