Got Tequila? Posted April 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Just exactly does on-board cover~~I have $250.00 for my January cruise~~the spa, excursions???????:) will work for anything but the daily service charges. :) photos, specialty restaurants, bar bills, future cruise reward certificates, gift shop....all types of way to spend the OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love my butler Posted April 7, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 7, 2013 You can actually use it to pay the DSC. Simply go to the casino and get cash on your account. It will cost you 3%, but cash is king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay the DSC in advance, so that doesn't matter to me, but... Have to ask. I thought the promotional OBC wasn't able to be cashed out...only the purchased OBC. True? False? I seem to be getting conflicting information here. DML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2kidsforus Posted April 8, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Just off of the Dawn yesterday. I had $107 left of my $500 OBC and I went to the casino on saturday night and requested $100 in cash from my OBC. I was handed $100 and charged $3 all came off of my remaining OBC. As long as you have a remaining balance in your OBC it will draw from that just as an on board purchase would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agabbymama Posted April 8, 2013 #8 Share Posted April 8, 2013 It depends if it is "Refundable" or "Non-Refundable". If you get a copy of your account say the 2nd day of your cruise, it will show on there which it is. Usually "Non-Refundable" is from NCL and you CANNOT cash it out at the casino. Or at least I couldn't on the STAR. She gave me my "Refundable" with the 3% charge. So I went to the watch store and bought myself a new Guess watch with the $100 Non-refundable OBC.

This is precisely why I asked. I had been hearing this designation all along. I'd been told that NCL's promo OBC was non-refundable, but the Bon Voyage OBC you buy (or others buy as gifts for you) was refundable type. But it seems that sometimes there is a glitch on ships when dealing with OBC in general. Some people report that certain ships at certain times seemed to be doing the opposite of what was expected. A new person in the office making mistakes? I don't know. DML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergusonvt Posted April 8, 2013 #10 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Can only be used for excursions if you book them on the ship. If you pre-book you will be asked for a credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jusstice Posted April 8, 2013 #11 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I was also told that the non-refundable OBC cannot be used towards any gambling like Bingo or the Deal or No Deal, as well as the previously mention DSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2kidsforus Posted April 8, 2013 #12 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Our OBC that I cashe out on the last night in the casino was a non refundable OBC that I received because I used my American Express to book my suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimd909 Posted April 8, 2013 #13 Share Posted April 8, 2013 If you get $300 OBC from NCL and add say $700 of your own OBC, which one gets used first? If I have $300 at the end of the cruise, will I get that back? If so, how would I get it back? Would it be credited to my credit card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is incorrect. You can 'cash out' ANY OBC. I just did it twice last month on a B2B on the Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting :rolleyes: Must depend on the staff at the time. Last year I had purchased $1200 OBC and had $100 from NCL. They used my $1200 first, as the last night I had $200 REFUNDABLE and $100 NON-REFUNDABLE. I went to the Purser's Desk requested a refund and was told it was NCL policy to mail to address on record. I was leaving for Hawaii a week later and knew the extra cash wouldn't reach my house before then, so I went to the Casino to cash out, and was told I could only get the $200, she couldn't give me the $100 NCL OBC. Guess they can (and do) do whatever they want at any given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
