!MSteacher Posted July 8, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2019 We booked an Alaskan cruise for the end of July. Because we are celebrating our 20th anniversary, we chose to have all the perks, which includes a 300 cabin credit. We have arranged/purchased our excursions, and we are usually more than satisfied with the food in MDR. Is there a specialty restaurant that is best on Solstice? So..... what are some suggestions for spending this credit? Yes, I know this is a "good problem" to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also booked Qsine based on reviews. I don't know if it's on Solstice since this will be our first Celebrity cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted July 8, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Because this gets asked so often I've compiled a list of things to spend OBC on. The only thing I know of now that you CAN'T buy with OBC is a deposit on a Future Cruise. Otherwise, here you go: Acupuncture Airport transfers Alcove Rental (some ships) Apple products etc. and Ilounge classes Art Auctions Babysitting Barber Shop services (Edge only) Beverages -- Alcoholic, carbonated soft drinks, specialty coffees and teas, bottled water Bingo Bottles of wine Casino Chef’s Table Duty free liquor and cigarettes Extra cost entrees and other items in Main Dining Room and specialty restaurants Fitness classes Flowers Gelato Gift shop souvenirs, purses, cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, etc. Gratuities, and extra gratuities Guests dining with you in Luminae (applies to Suite Passengers only) Guest entertainers' CD's and DVD's Hair and nail salon Hollywood hot glass experiences (some ships) Internet Laundry/pressing/drycleaning Luggage Valet Martini Flights Medical Center Mini bar Shore Excursions Pay-per-view movies Photos & cameras Room service up charge items, and late night delivery fee Shore Excursions Shuttle to town (some ports) Spa -- massages and treatments Specialty restaurants Teeth Whitening Telephone calls using ship's system Transfer to another passenger's account Voyage in Review DVD Wine and liquor tastings Zumba 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the best restaurant on the ship. As for food there, not much can beat the chateaubriand for 2. Edited July 8, 2019 by keesar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cangelmd Posted July 8, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Keesar is on the right track - this is your anniversary. also you are on an Alaska cruise! This is one of the most port intensive, high excursion cost cruises you can do. Two to look for (I don’t know which ports you are visiting) - the Misty Fjords floatplane, and in Skagway, the helicopter ride up to the glacier to drive the dogsled actually in snow. So worth it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful to take the steam, sit on those heated loungers and watch the amazing scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sascol Posted July 8, 2019 #8 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Keep in mind that you do not need to specify what the OBC is spent on. The $300 will just be deducted from what you owe on your total bill. You may know this already but thought it would be worth mentioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
