thedarklord Posted October 21, 2021 #1 Share Posted October 21, 2021 We're on the Jade right now, and thinking about buying some more cruise next certificates. We've got $200 non refundable credit on our account. If we buy 2 cruisenext at $500, $250 obc is automatically applied making our balance $250. My question is: (assuming no other charges) will the $200 non refundable obc be applied to that remaining balance making our checkout balance $50, or can you not use non-refundable obc against Cruisenext, meaning our checkout balance would still be $250, with the $200 obc still sitting in our account unused? Hope that makes sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebeccac Posted October 21, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I'm not sure exactly how it works on NCL, but most other lines don't let you use onboard credit to purchase future cruise credits. Hopefully, someone has a more definitive answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But according to folks on my last sailing, this has changed and non-refundable OBC can no longer be used for CruiseNext deposits. But they are still charged to your onboard account and you pay the balance with the rest of your folio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SpainAlien Posted October 21, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I bought a Cruise Next Certificate using my OBC and only had to pay the left over bit of $6 on my credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2014 Posted October 21, 2021 #7 Share Posted October 21, 2021 During my last cruise on Epic (Sep 2021) I could not pay with non-refundable OBC for CruiseNext cerificates. In the past it was possible. I was informed that rules has been changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarklord Posted October 23, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Just had a chat to one of the cruisenext people on the ship. She confirmed that the rules changed recently meaning you can no longer use non refundable credit for the purchase. She did confirm though that the credit you get for purchasing them can still be applied to the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
