Don't donate it but do go to the casino and cash out via a slot machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a gambler but my husband usually goes with like $500 in cash to have fun with there. Can he buy chips or credits or however that works?

So the slot machines can turn your OBC into cash? I'm sure he can figure that out. I literally walk through once on every ship just to see it and never go in again.

Jasukkie Posted August 24, 2021 #30 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Very happy to report I can now see my onboard credit in my cruise planner and it's even more than I expected. I think reaching out through social media did the trick finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OBC was in my cruise planner in less than 24 hours. The advice given about canceling any prepaids to use an excess of OBC is a good one. I once put $200 OBC into a casino credit the next to last night of the cruise. I played a total of $5.00 on video poker and cashed out - for cash! I seem to remember there was some small casino charge associated with the transaction. Hmmm, we also got OBC for our November 7 Anthem cruise and I’ve yet to see it. May need to have my TA check on it. She got us the OBC on Aug 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiselvr04 Posted August 25, 2021 #32 Share Posted August 25, 2021 It available in my cruise planner but I have not figured out how to use it. For us it showed within 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted August 25, 2021 #33 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I am up to almost $400 on each of my cruises on the Ovation for Oct 1 and 8. I’ll tell you, since I will be cruising from my home port, some of it will be going to cheap booze. It is expensive here in Washington.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the standard line they tell everyone, but could show up earlier than that idk. Did yours end up showing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was about 2 weeks ago and cruise is next week. I also had received a $100 OBC as a bonus and that was available via Cruise Planner but I had to apply it to dining, excursions, whatever BEFORE the cruise otherwise I would lose it. Did your OBC show up once onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted August 31, 2021 #37 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Just got $1307.00 OBC that I called about from price drop after FP. Having a ball purchasing stuff from it, and still have $600.00 left over for on board spending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We called about our 9/11 sailing and were given $267! But I’d sure like to confirm it. Our OBC never showed up in the cruise planner. Called yesterday and was delighted to discover they had refunded our credit card instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2VaCruzers Posted September 1, 2021 #41 Share Posted September 1, 2021 After 3 weeks of waiting for my OBC to show up, I asked by TA to call to inquire. She was on the phone for an hour. Turns out they lost the OBC notification, but when they recalculated, we got about $45 more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAPMAN Posted September 1, 2021 #42 Share Posted September 1, 2021 As to On Board Credit. I got quite a bit from my TA for price reduction. Do I need to wait until on board to use it? Or can I get a CoCo Cay Club pass on line and have them use my OBC. I am thinking the on board price will be higher than what is online that I can be before the cruise. Thanks for any info.

Does anyone have any experience with this showing up in the cruise planner? I had my OBC from my credit card points show up today and this made me curious if I need to call and check in on the $100. Sailing 9/5 if that helps with any timeframe issues I may be facing. Ours showed up within 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanLW9 Posted September 1, 2021 Author #45 Share Posted September 1, 2021 So I waited the 14 business days like they asked and nothing. Called the C&A line today and explained the situation. It was manually added in 15-20 minutes. Not sure what would have happened if I didn’t call.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
