travelinmoma Posted January 14, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We don't drink, so I'm looking for other fun ways to spend the OBC. I know I can use it for excursions, but I've already booked and paid for those. Since it's a week long cruise, I would like to leave the OBC for fun things on the ship (Explorer of the Seas).

stevekc Posted January 14, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Spa treatments and flowrider. The order of the expenditure is enforced by wife. Regardless of how you choose to utilize your credit, I'm sure you''ll have a great time! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geomancer Posted January 14, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The auto gratuities. For us (family of 3) that's $304.50 for a week cruise. Usually OBC is less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelinmoma Posted January 14, 2018 Author #18 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks for all the great ideas! Can I use it for ice cream at B & J's or at Johnny Rockets? Either one worth it? I saw several people mention specialty dining. I was thinking about doing FNDR, but that would eat up $40 of the $100 right off the bat. Is it worth it?

mek Posted January 14, 2018 #19 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I never plan to anything special with the OBC - it simply reduces the amount due on my final bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amandah1987 Posted January 14, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 14, 2018 When I cruised in 2016 (explorer of the seas) I prepaid my account in cash and i mostly spent it on souvenirs, movies in my state room(I had a 3 year old then who needed naps) Starbucks, johnny rockets,photos and towards the end of the cruise I still had a bunch of money left so I bought a really good camera on board (I had $900 US dollars for a 10 day cruise and struggled spending it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadpirate3 Posted January 14, 2018 #21 Share Posted January 14, 2018 We spent it on the 10 drink card, 2 for $20 t-shirts, lunch at Johnny Rocket's and random other small fees, like buying one beer to get one free with our C&A coupon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop77 Posted January 15, 2018 #23 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Gratuities and wifi is a must have for us. ;p We don’t do drinks and food as these are of no interest to us. We are not big eater and we are not foodie. Since we are from Singapore, currently our port of calls are mostly Malaysia and Thailand, excursion on shore is not so attractive. We want to spend as much time on the boat. Otherwise nothing much to spend on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 15, 2018 #24 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Anything you buy on board will use the OBC. If you have $100 OBC, the 1st $100 you spend on the ship will be covered. You can't specify how it's to be used. It's simply a "credit" against any charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
