so it looks like nobody has received the original amounts of obc that were expected?

successfully used a nextcruise from 2013 and got the purchase price applied to my payment for an upcoming cruise. however, when i looked online i didn't see the obc that i was supposed to receive applied, so i called. the paperwork i got when i bought the nextcruise says obc will be: $25 for 3-5 nts $100 for 6-9 nts $150 for 10-14 nts/$200 for 15+ nts. however, they are telling me that all they can give me is $50 obc for an inside room on a 5-7 nt sailing, which is what their "archived records" show. i spoke with not only the regular rep but also his supervisor, and i was on with him for quite a while. i also asked to speak to HIS supervisor, and was told that he was as high as i could go. i said that all i am asking for is what i was sold. the paper where i see the obc values is actually the form that i filled out when i made the purchase (asks for stateroom # of the cruise i was on when purchasing, quantity of bookings desired, etc.), albeit a blank one that i kept for informational purposes. the supervisor said that he is unable to give me more than $50 and that i have nothing with both my nextcruise reservation id # AND the obc values. indeed, the confirmation letter i received says "With an Open Booking, you have now secured the ability to receive an onboard credit in the value of $25-$200 per stateroom." anybody else ever had this problem? advice on what to do so i can get the product i paid for?

My cruise is paid in full and i redeemed a nextcruise certificate as part of the payment. Where can i see my OBC? I can't find it anywhere! Thanks for the help

So I found an old Open Booking Confirmation that I purchased on the Allure in 2013. I paid $100 for it. I've read all the paperwork I've got and just want to make sure that I'm understanding what the benefit is/why I purchased it. I know that the program has changed to NextCruise on May 1, 2019, but I did see on Royal's website that purchases before that date will be "grandfathered in under the old program, which includes non refundable deposits but no expiration dates and only up to $100 in Onboard Credit per stateroom." I am guessing that the value I paid goes toward the cost of my cruise when booking and then the perk is that I get OBC...is this correct?

Never sailed MSC...do the newer ships have entertainment that is similar in quality to the Oasis class ships on RCL? Our first cruise that will be alcohol-free and we are trying to make sure we can keep busy in the evenings when we would usually be at a bar. Thanks for any help!

does anybody know?
