ES OBC Refundable?

[smeesme]

Hi,

We sail on Friday and I just received a large OBC for our ES fare. $352 Yay!! However, we've already paid all our tips, and we don't drink or gamble so we may not use all this money on board. According to the email the amount is non-refundable. Some messages I've seen though seem to think it is. Can anyone tell me recently if they've gotten a refund?

Thank you!!!

I believe it is for cant swear to it.

 

Worst case scenerio is to put your card in a slot machine and request that amount of money. Then cash it out at the cashier later. No problem.

It is refundable. Have fun trying to spend it!

ES OBC is refundable!

 

We received a refund at the end of our Legend cruise last November.

I was thinking (Dangerous, I know) that unless you had no other funds in your S&S account, how would they know what was refundable and what wasn't? I like BigDfromTN's" idea - go to the casino, load the whole amount into player's credit, then cash out.

IDK, but I think I'd start drinking and a slot machine with that if it wasn't....lol and some souvenirs.

"they" know the same way I know. I look at my onboard account and check it during the cruise. The refundable OBC is marked refundable and the nonrefundable is marked nonrefundable.

 

they will use up the nonrefundable first.

 

why not be a little more proactive and if you dont need to pull it out via the casino, why do it? Perhaps you gamble more than I do.

Maybe they would like to use the funds to pay for independent tours or shopping while in port, rather than waiting to get the refund at the end of the cruise.

Thanks for the replies. I'll check my sign and sail account while I'm onboard and if it doesn't say refundable I'll use the casino method.

 

Well, we're packed and leave in the morning so thanks for the help and I'll update when we get back.
