Refundable/Non-Refundable OBC?

[asctony]

When you have OBC there are two categories.

Refundable-you may get this back if you don't spend it all.

Non--Refundable--Use it or loose it.

 

How does NCL determine which category to use when NCL deducts the daily Service Charge?

 

Do they take the Service Charge from the Refundable first, then the Non-Refundable?

 

or

 

Do they ever use Non-Refundable for Service Charges?

 

Thanks for helping in answering this question.

Non refundable can't be used against the DSC at all.

 

The potential issue is when you have other spend. If the refundable OBC is used against that then is there enough left to cover the DSC?

 

I can't answer that question. Reports on here have been mixed regarding that one, but someone else may have some experience to report.

Non refundable will not be used for daily service charges, it will be taken from refundable.

It depends how the TA has purchased the OBC. Mine was considered refundable.

And be sure to differentiate between gratuity and DSC. If you leave gratuities in a specialty restaurant or bar or if you do a tip for your butler from your account, non-refundable will be used. It is the DSC that it isn't used for.

Thanks for your quick responses. The other cruise lines (Celebrity, Princess and RCI) take it from Non-Refundable first. I know each cruise line is different. However, I would have assumed that since NCL gives you an OBC, you should and could use it on any charge to your account, including DSC.

That is what happens when you ASSume. LOL

Just use it! If you don't, YOU aren't out anything....its was a freebie to begin with!

If they are allowed to then NCL will use the non-refundable first, about the only thing it cannot be used for is the DSC.
