Combine OBC on a back to back?

[Josie201]

We have a four day and a 10 day B2B on the Edge in November, booked separately but in the same room.  We have a very small OBC for the first cruise and more OBC than we can use on the 2nd leg.  Any chance we could have those combined or adjusted?

Sadly, no.  The X-supplied OBC for each cruise always stands alone.  If you have excess on leg 2, raid the shops and leave some very nice tips for the crew.

 

We had a 'problem' with excess on leg 1, and used the balance on that leg to make some very happy crewmembers.

Something else to understand since you didn't say where the OBC came from...

 

What is described above (the use it or lose it nature of the X non-refundable OBC for each individual leg) applies only to the non-refundable OBC provided by X.  I suspect that if you have a bundle, that's what it is, resulting from a reprice after final payment.

 

However, if you have refundable OBC from your TA, it still doesn't carry over between legs, but you'll get that credited back to your card, so you can use any excess refundable TA OBC on leg 1 to pay off any credit card charges on leg 2 if you spend more than your OBC on leg 2.  X always uses non-refundable OBC first as you spend it down.
