Combinable Discounts?

[emen822]

I booked my cruise while onboard the Mariner this year which gave me $100 OBC for each room. I know that you can't combine certain discounts anymore. I even looked over the chart that was compiled but I'm still confused.. :confused:

 

The issue being FCC (Future Cruise Credit) or FC (Future Cruise). One you can combine with C&A coupons, one you can't. Now my stupid question is: booking onboard is considered FCC or FC?

 

There is a coupon available for my sailing and I'm just wondering if we are entitled to that discount even though we booked onboard.

 

Hope this makes sense! :o

 

Thanks in advance.

Frankly I send them all in, if they take them, YIPPEE :D....if not boo hoo:(

 

A couple times recently have been surprised when they took them, even though I didn't think they would. :rolleyes:

Hi Mary.............you will get your OBC from booking on board and that is all you will be eligible for. You can not use the C&A savings Certificates for your cruise.

 

That chart was done prior to the 1/1/09 changes. Just remember that when booking a cruise while on board you can only have one benefit.

 

You can however apply any residency/senior/military discount if one becomes available for your cruise and if you have an RCI Visa card and want to redeem points for OBC or you get an OBC from a TA those can be applied also.

Allow me to piggyback? so, we got the military discount. Can we use our stockholder credit to get OBC? Thanks, again, excuse my pirating & see, not a stupid question?!

Yes you can, as long as that is the only OBC you are applying for.

I saw an ad for SBC up to $200 plus prepaid tips on any 2010 booking but you could not use FC. That's a bummer!

[emen822]

Wow. Thanks for all the quick replies. Can someone tell me what booking onboard is actually called? :D

 

According to the chart, which was the only one I could find, you could combine with FCC but not FC. {Confusing! :eek::rolleyes:}

 

I think I may take Sue's advice and just send it in and see if they accept it. ;) Right now, I have $200 OBC and the discount would be $225 on the two rooms. That sounds nice now but $200 OBC in April will sound good too. :D

When you are cruising on a ship, it is called "on board booking" or "booking on board" or "booking a cruise while on a cruise".:p

 

They stopped allowing the combining of C&A Savings Certificates back in July of 2008. But as Sue said, sometimes you get lucky and they will apply them.

It's not often that I get all these discounts/coupons, etc. :D on the same sailing. I'll send it in and see what they say. Can't hurt! ;)

 

Thanks for your help (and love the avatar picture!;))

Great, thanks, I only got the military discount up front for the Nov cruise.

Now, we are going again in Jan and they offered a $200 discount for our balcony bec of platinum status. I presume there's no OBC for shareholders in that case. I sent in the proof anyway. They can only say no to the Jan cruise. Cheers!

[camofwilliamsburg]

A discount is for the platinum level. OBC given can also go with a discount. Send in the paperwork for stock holder and you will get 100$ obc and more if it is longer than a 10 night cruise. We got all credits and discounts for our upcoming cruise. Because it is 10 nights the obc doubles to 200 for the stock, 200 for booking with a future cruise certificate bought before 1/09, we also got the plat discount for balcony and the crown and anchor discount of 150$ for that sailing.... IT was a great savings...

Not correct. NextCruise (when you book onboard) is combinable with Future Cruise Credit. I just did it last week for someone and it was approved. It's probably because the FCC is dollars off, not OBC.
