GTO-Girl Posted September 8, 2020 #1 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I am about to book a cruise in June for my daughter and granddaughters. If I want to give them some onboard credit what is the best way to do that? I am thinking I will need to visit Guest Services when I board and add it to their accounts. Any other way to do it sooner?

#1packerfan Posted September 8, 2020 #2 Share Posted September 8, 2020 You can call and add it using a credit card at any point by letting the rep know you want to add cash to an onboard account and having the reservation number. If I add cash to my account, I typically do it about a month ahead of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseguy1016 Posted September 8, 2020 #5 Share Posted September 8, 2020 If you are booking the cruise, you'll have their booking numbers. You'll need the booking numbers to add OBC to their account. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I haven't done it in a few years but I always had to have the number so they could verify the account to add it to. Name and stateroom number was not enough.

Relatives or friends calling to purchase gifts for people sailing may not have the reservation number. It may depend on what number you called.

I know I have purchased specialty dining for friends and needed it for that but I thought I also needed it to add for OBC too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retiredgram Posted September 8, 2020 #14 Share Posted September 8, 2020 This happened while on a cruise ship: I wanted to add some money to my son's account while on a cruise. He and his wife also had booked same cruise and surprised us.. I went to GS and could not ad real money to their account without one of them being there in person. It was quite disappointing to not be able to surprise them with extra obc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
