Compared to what/when?

Any that you previously bought will be still under the terms and conditions that were in place when you purchased them.

Don’t think anything changed.

Let me try asking this another way please. 

"Can you still buy a next cruise certificate while on board for a open booking for $100/pp?"

Don't think so.

You answers make no sense,  sorry.

If the policy has not changed then my last question should be true.

 

Is Bob online? He always provides clear, concise answers.

Bob has left the building

It has not changed in the last 6 months because I don't think RCI has what you describe any more (for years). The only way to book on board for $100/pp is an NRD booking (either for a specific sailing or you have to choose one within 60 days to keep the OBC).

Yes.  It will even be available to purchase that way via the app very soon.  If you lock in the sail date within two months you will then get the next cruise OBC.  Any dates locked in between 2 months and twelve months retain the lower deposit but don’t  get any OBC.  If you don’t firm up a sail date in 12 months your booking is cancelled and you lose the deposit.

I thought all of this was referred to as an Open Booking and Certificates (physical paper) were done away with like 5+ years ago?

Yes it was but it’s still basically the same thing

Can someone buy a certificate for you while they are onboard to get the lower deposit down and obc?
