Booking a cruise while on board

[mmsalmon1987]

Hi,

Have never booked a cruise while on board but am thinking of doing so in October while on the Empress. What are the advantages of doing this? I am thinking of a quick three night cruise in January for DH birthday.

 

Thanks for the help.

There have been several posts about this, but the main thing is, if you book while on board you will get an on board credit for your next cruise. Amount depends on the number of nights you will be sailing. Even if you're not 100%, book it, you can always canx and if you do go then you've got the creidt there :)

We booked on board one time for a 7 day cruise. We booked for a year later and received $100.00 per cabin on board credits. We stuck with the dates but I'm told you can make all kinds of changes and still get the credit. Dates, ship, etc. Worked out great. Sure helped with the bar bill and excursions.

Can you book a Celebrity Cruise while on a Royal Caribbean cruise and get the onboard credit? RCI does own Celebrity... but not sure.....

Yes, and vice-versa. They have reciprocity. (Love it when I can use that word!)

We did this when we were on the Mariner. We booked the Jewel in April, but had to change due to a conflict in dates... no problem, they transferred the booking with the discount to the new dates/ship.

Enjoy your cruise.

Have also done likewise, but the thing everyone must remember is to keep the original booking number when making changes in order to keep the onboard credit.
