On board credits - pay for specialty dining for others?

[MWcruiser]

Can we use on board credit to treat friends at one of the specialty restaurants?  We have much more obcs than our traveling companions. Can we have their dining upcharge added to our bill?

This is a great question as we also may have this opportunity.

We have done this many times while onboard when dining together with people. We let the person seating us or our server know all the meals will be charged to our cabin.   The charges go on our folio and any OBC is applied.
 

if you want to make it a gift (they dine without you) the  best option would be to visit passenger services once onboard and tell them you want to gift the meal to your friends in cabin XXX . I haven’t tried this but it seems like a logical place to start.

Correct.

Thank you Shelly!  That is the info I needed.  I thought that was the case, but have not done it before and couldn’t find any previous posts on this.  It will be fun to treat our friends!

If you have one of the balconies that would accommodate four people, having an Ultimate Balcony Dinner would be a great way to treat them. It's our favorite way to celebrate an occasion on a cruise.

Great idea!  Will have to save it for next time, just a regular balcony this cruise.
