mspink98 Posted December 30, 2021 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Due to a whole bunch of sales, we ended up with a mildly absurd amount of OBC for our April Constellation cruise (yay!) but every excursion we try to book ends up being cancelled (boo!) We already have the premium drink package, and I'll upgrade Internet if I need to for school, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever used OBC to upgrade while onboard. We're already AQ, so the only place to go is Retreat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrk2cruise Posted December 30, 2021 #2 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I believe onboard upgrades are charged to your credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted December 30, 2021 #3 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I concur….you cannot use OBC for an upgrade Because this gets asked so often I've compiled a list of things to spend OBC on. The only thing I know of now that you CAN'T buy with OBC is a deposit on a Future Cruise. You need a credit card for that. Also, there may be some card game in the casino with a cash only buy-in. If they do a fundraiser, like selling t-shirts to “save the reefs” and the like, expect to need cash for that. Otherwise, here you go: Acupuncture Airport transfers Alcove Rental (some ships) Apple products etc. and Ilounge classes Art Auctions Babysitting Barber Shop services Beverages -- Alcoholic, carbonated soft drinks, specialty coffees and teas, bottled water Bingo Bottles of wine Casino Chef’s Table Corkage charged if you bring your own wine to the MDR Duty free liquor and cigarettes Extra cost entrees and other items in Main Dining Room and specialty restaurants Extend Your Stay program Fitness classes Flowers Gelato Gift shop souvenirs, purses, watches, cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, etc. Gratuities, and extra gratuities Guests dining with you in Luminae (applies to Suite Passengers only) Guest entertainers' CD's and DVD's Hair and nail salon Hollywood hot glass experiences (some ships) Internet Laundry/pressing/drycleaning Luggage Valet Martini Flights Medical Center purchases (but not treatments) Mini bar Portrait photo sessions Pay-per-view movies Persian Gardens passes Personal Training Sessions Photos & cameras Room service up charge items, and late night delivery fee Shore Excursions Shuttle to town (some ports) Spa -- massages and treatments Specialty restaurants Teeth Whitening Telephone calls using ship's system Transfer to another passenger's account Voyage in Review DVD Wine and liquor tastings Zumba 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as3369 Posted December 30, 2021 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Only question is... Is Zumba still a thing? 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted December 30, 2021 #5 Share Posted December 30, 2021 definitely cannot use OBC to upgrade room. Charge would go straight to a CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DCPIV Posted December 30, 2021 #6 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Here's a fairly easy way to think about how you can use OBC (and, as far as I know, almost completely accurate): If you can buy it via the cruise planner or if it is something you cannot purchase at all before cruising (such as some tastings, stuff in shops, etc.), then you can use OBC for it. Otherwise, no. As mentioned, there are limited exceptions to that, but that's something that would come up in the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
