How to spend $800 OBC on Oasis? What do people usually spend on board cruise?

[Debde]

Tips-excursions-specialty dining-drink package-ship shopping......heck, I could blow through $800 with ease and never step in the casino!!:o

But seriously- what comes to my mind is to treat yourself to an expensive excursion you might otherwise not dream of doing!!!

Shut, my wife burned through that much in 5 hours in the casino on one of our cruises. I was miffed, and asked what was she thinking? She said she had a good time! :mad:

 

 

5 hours did she get a slow start

Good to know, I haven't had OBC from RCL before. I will on an upcoming cruise, so this is a helpful tip. I guess we will be using what we can and then cashing out at the casino.

 

We have OBC from RCL on our upcoming cruise and on the cruise docs there is this statement right below the OBC. Looks like the casino is out. :eek:

 

Please note, this onboard credit is subject to ship staff validation and cannot be used in the casino, nor can it be converted to cash. It must be used by the end of the cruise or surrendered

Where in your cruise docs does it show your OBC? Are you talking about on the booking invoice? Or the cruise ticket? We also have OBC from RCL and I do not see it listed anywhere in the cruise ticket. It is only on the booking invoice midway down the page and does not say anything about not being able to use it in the casino

Dining and other souvenirs.

On our honeymoon in 2013 we had more OBC than we thought so we ended the cruise with about $100 left in our account, they credited my CC back

$1,000 OBC for 2 people during the recent promo = drink packages, specialty dining, and I think I am going to buy a watch, if they have a good price on one that I like. :D:):D

For 4 people, on a 7 night cruises, about $450 will be the tips.....so that's more than 1/2....

 

It's simply a credit against any charges....so whatever you spend, the 1st $800 is paid for!

As it was explained to me was, "I was up, then down, up then down..." She doesn't know how to walk away after getting ahead, it is a must feed the machine thing. I think it makes her salivate like Pavlov's Dog to hear the sounds. :p

If you're interested in such things, the behind the scenes tour is $150 per person and excellent. I believe there is a minimum age so the kids might have to hang in the kids club if you do it. DH and I did it on Allure and it was totally worth the $300 - would have been even better if paid for with OBC! :) (I am not one to spend $$$ onboard, and I enjoyed it so much, we did it again on Liberty, and have it scheduled for Quantum. So, it's good!)

[zombiehunter]

That would pay for another cruise.;)

 

That's actually a really good point. Can you use it at the pre-booking thing and put it towards another cruise?

I would give the same advice. When you are talking about one person blowing through $800, I'd have money left over to take home, but a family of four? Tips and excursions would easily use the entire amount. I'd book an excursion that would have been too expensive without the OBC. Considering that many of the excursions are more than $100 per person and tips for the week are almost that much, you aren't going to have to stretch your imagination to spend it. Enjoy.

We used unexpected OBC (returned taxes + "please don't complain" money for weather-caused itinery change) to buy a new camera. DH hasn't stopped playing with it since we came back.

Let it pay for tips and then cash out and use that money for a deposit on your next cruise!

No you cannot. You have to use a credit card.
