I had a similar situation, only in reverse. I downgraded from an ocean view to inside and they reduced our OBC. So, I would assume you would get the increase in OBC.

Does anyone know the answer to this? I booked a 7night cruise on board a past cruise and booked only an inside cabin. So I received the $25 OBC. Final payment has passed and the price has dropped and I was able to call and change to a balcony cabin for no extra cost. Should my OBC change from $25 to $100 now? Just curious since I have a balcony cabin now. Or does it only go by what I originally booked at the time on board. Thanks

I just finally checked and they automatically increased the OBC from the $25 to $100. Woohoo! Shockingly it was done automatic.

 

Now I'm hoping when I board this cruise my status is changed from Diamond to Damond plus. Just turned last week on Liberty Thanksgiving cruise . So in two weeks when I board Oasis I will be D+. Hopefully all is updated. Fingers crossed.

I would think that you should have gotten the additional OBC. BUT, RCI has no many hidden policies that are not published or available to the general public. I would call C&A (1-800-526-9723) and find out.

 

Effective March 15, 2014, the new OBC amounts when booking a Next Cruise on board (formerly known as a Future Cruise booking).OBC is per cabin.

Hey there tootsie.......yes we are back and I see that Bob has answered your question.

 

Just make sure that you remind them of the date that NC was created so that you get your correct OBC.

RCI has now further confused their already confusing policies by using "Next Cruise" to refer to booking an actual cruise onboard - those are the OBC amounts that Patti posted. I can't remember what they are calling the old NC - Future Cruise Credit, or something like that. Those have the lower OBC that render them almost worthless to many.

$25 for sailings of 3-5 nights

$100 for sailings of 6-9 nights

$200 for sailings of 15+ nights

 

 

Got it

 

You don't get the new OBC's unless you actually book while on the cruise

Thanks Jean and Patti for the replies. I didn't see them before I replied.

With regard to combination, the balcony discount can be combined with the fake sale discounts. However, it will appear that you are not getting the full balcony discount, because they will take off the balcony discount first, and then the 30% off. So the 30% off will be applied to a smaller number.

 

When the fake sale is 60% off the second guest, that works out better since the balcony discount is applied to the first guest, you end up getting the full balcony discount.

We were not able to apply our balcony discount to either booking we made in January and March due to the "promotions" they were running without choosing one over the other.

 

I think one had $50 onboard credit and the other had $100.
