OBC with Cash Account

[Bases5]

I usually have 5-6 hundred obc. both bought and TA provided

 

I was wondering how RCI handles this with regards to using you shipboard account

upon boarding.

 

I do not put a card on my account

 

On Carnival I have full access to charging privileges immediately

 

On NCL I could purchases 1 drink and my card would be shut off

I would have to go to guest services and get it turned on.

Your OBC doesn't really show up till day 2 (pain)

I just went down and put $100 cash to fix it.

 

On Princess My OBC was ready immediately

 

So does any one know how Royal handles there OBC without a Credit Card

Royal lets you charge up to $500 on a cash account before they ask you to pay it down.

You won't need to put any cash on your account. When your OBC is getting low, they'll ask you to "top off" your account.

As Bob said, they will let you charge $500 before asking you to put some money down. If you have $600 OBC then you will be able to charge up to $1100 before being asked to put any money down.

Please forgive me for this but I really don't know....why would you buy OBC? Do you get some kind of discount and if so, how and where do you purchase it. Thanks

If Royal is offering a favorable exchange rate it can be beneficial to people outside the U.S., rather than having your credit card charged in U.S. Dollars on the ship

OK, thanks
