artfanatic8 Posted June 12, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 12, 2018 We have some onboard credits, and I just learned that I cannot use them if I book excursions in advance of our August cruise. I seem to remember someone writing earlier on these boards that it is possible to receive credit for such an advance booking once onboard, and then one can use points instead. Is that possible? Does anyone know how full most excursions are in advance of boarding? Is it best to book ahead, or can you feel pretty good about taking your chances? Thank you so much for responding -- it's our first cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Norton Posted June 12, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Book ahead, pay ahead. Once on go to the square and tell them you want to change your tours to OBC and they should cancel/refund your existing tours and rebook you immediately on the same tour using OBC. /at least that's what worked for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzer Posted June 12, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 12, 2018 The one excursion I am interested in is for the First port of call, day after embarcation day. Is it possible to do the book ahead and change the day of boarding without a cancellation fee or issue? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as you board the ship, go to the Square and ensure your OBC is registered on your shipboard account. We had an OBC on our last cruise from our TA that was not and took 3-4 days to get straightened out. Always carry hard-copy proof of any OBC with you.

happy cruzer Posted July 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Thanks for the advice about taking a hard copy of the OBC. Where is this documented? We currently can see our preliminary documents and no OBC is listed. We used a TA but the OBC is from a First Cruise voucher. Should it be in the preliminary documents, on what page? Thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently can see our preliminary documents and no OBC is listed. We used a TA but the OBC is from a First Cruise voucher. Should it be in the preliminary documents, on what page? Thanks in advance :) I've had no luck finding that kind of information on our account. So we asked our travel agent to send us a copy of our credits to make sure all were there. She immediately sent us a copy and pasted accounting of them. We have that email and will take a hard copy with us too. I just checked the preliminary documents for our cruise and that information was not there. Having made final payment we have our final documents on the website (and a printed copy, too), and I see the total OBC for each of us listed on page 8. Hope this helps!

Bestie098 Posted July 26, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Your TA can confirm with seabourn your onboard credit. Otherwise it will show up on the final docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
