As a general rule, No. But I will hedge since there are many cruise lines and I have only cruised on 16 of those lines (none of them would allow OBC to be used for a future booking. When you book onboard most cruise lines they will want to immediately charge a credit card for any required deposit. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorex Posted May 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted May 29, 2022 We have also cruised on numerous lines and the OBC policies were always the same -- that OBC could not be used for a deposit on a future cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted May 30, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I would check with the cruise line in question Most do not but may depend where the OBC comes from 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broadwaybaby123 Posted May 30, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I haven't seen that done in my 23+ cruises, so I'm willing to bet not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leaveitallbehind Posted May 30, 2022 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) As everyone else has said, in our experience a deposit for a cruise booked on board must be made to your credit card and cannot be booked by way of a cruise line sponsored non-refundable OBC. But as you do not mention a cruise line I agree as well to contact your specific cruise line in question to confirm. Maybe there are those that do - but IMO it is not likely.
