Onboard credit

[PrincessPete]

Hi all, I have recently purchased some onboard credit by telephone (an extremely tortuous exercise!!) for a Rhapsody cruise at the end of September.

Should that appear anywhere online (Manage My Booking?) or do I just assume it will be there and take a print out of the card payment as a back up?

As always, thanks for the advice.

Kind regards, Peter

Purchased on board credit does not show up on the website. Good idea to take a printout of the confirmation email.

let me also add that it will not show up on your onboard account until day 2, sometimes day 3 of your cruise. I'm not sure why there is a delay with it showing up. Like Bob said, bring a copy of the confirmation email just in case.

You can call RCL and ask them to email you an Amenity invoice. Any OBC that you purchased for yourself will be on that

Thank you for the replies to date. If I buy plenty of OBC and my account is in credit after each day's expenditure - gratuities, drinks etc - do they still authorise the daily spend on my card when in fact I don't "owe" them anything?

Thanks again

To avoid any daily authorizations, just opt for a "cash" type account. They will let you charge up to $500 over any credits before they ask you to pay it down. On the last night of the cruise you can switch to a credit card account for any final charges you might have.
