Non Refundable OBC

[helpwanted]

What do you use non Refundable Obc for?  We are on Joy and no thermal suite and not interested in other spa services.  We will be flying so by liquor could be an issue due to luggage space.  We have $600 and don’t no how to spend it.

shore excursions. use it one that will be on your bucket list excursion

1). Book your shore excursions when you get onboard

2)  Upgrade your beverage package on board (If so inclined)

No refundable obc is normally provided by NCL whereas refundable obc is purchased by the client or TA

You can't use non-refundable obc for the dsc but you can use it for additional tips

I have never been lucky enough to have so much on board credit that I had trouble spending it. In addition to above mentioned items like spa treatments or excursions I would spend it on beauty products, such as face creams or make-up. Maybe I would go to the spa just to buy some of the muscle relaxing gel for my back. Jewelry is another option. Get a gift for a friend (me LOL) if none of this interests you.

Go duty-free shopping onboard - DW "never enough credits to spend against cosmetics and alcohol, etc." and even the regular gift shop ... worst come to worst, photo studio/shop - digital cameras, binoculars, etc. (do avoid those deluxe photo packages, if you can ...)   Get creative & think outside the box, a "gift voucher" for your friendly room steward, i.e. specialty dinner as a treat to her/him.

I could go through $600 in the jewelry store pretty quick.

 

Another good option would be to upgrade your specialty dining.
