BonnieSte Posted August 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2017 When I go to my cruise planner it says my OBC is a pre-cruise OBC. Does that mean I have to order a drink package or excursion etc. before the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't use it pre-cruise, you can still use it onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted August 11, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2017 This is a new thing...in the past, OBC COULDN'T be used until you were ONBOARD! This is a useful thing, to have access to your OBC pre-cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcdonaldbam Posted August 11, 2017 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Has anyone who redeemed CC cruisepoints had their OBC show up in their cruiseplanner pre-cruise? If so, how far in advance of the cruise date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debitoo Posted August 11, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Has anyone who redeemed CC cruisepoints had their OBC show up in their cruiseplanner pre-cruise? If so, how far in advance of the cruise date? What "cruisepoints" are you referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted August 11, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 11, 2017 What "cruisepoints" are you referring to? I'm thinking "CC cruisepoints" is the Visa credit card (CC) point redemption program, which I've not seen or heard anyone report seeing on the Cruise Planner.

Correct. I was wondering if I'd be able to use them to pay for some of the excursions I am thinking of booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allweind Posted August 11, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 11, 2017 I have redeemed over $250 from the Royal visa and it has been added to our pre-cruise credit that we can use for excursions, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted August 11, 2017 #13 Share Posted August 11, 2017 So far, the answer is no. The answer is "yes". As soon as your request is processed, that OBC will show up as part of your "pre-cruise OBC, spend it now!" on your Cruise Planner. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cruise is March 3, 2018, if I redeem the points today will the OBC show up by in the next couple weeks or will it be closer to March? I was reading on one of the port threads the excursion I am considering fills up quick and I not want to have to pay now with my credit card if I don't have to.

The OBC from Visa points is processed in order of cruise date, so it depends on how many are in front of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted August 11, 2017 #17 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Pardon me, I was confused with another thread that was discussing purchased and travel agent OBC. Fixed it. Confusion is my natural state of being. Any idea of how soon after you redeem the point that the OBC will show up?

They process the request when they darn well feel like it. If I were you, I would put in the request, and then check constantly. (you will know that the OBC has been posted when your Cruise Planner offers the OBC for pre-cruise purchases). Call them and nudge them until they do it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
