SW.FloridaPhil Posted February 3, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2023 We have a few hundred dollars OBC for our next trip. If we want to book a specialty restaurant, we can't use it because it is not available before we board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use it to prepay for excursions however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Techwizardress Posted February 3, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hello, I have heard a couple of cruisers say that you pay in advance with your credit card and then when you get on board, you can cancel that and then use your OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when you have to pull out that bag of "Magic OBC". Nobody will give it a second thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever we have booked excursions prior to sailing they have always taken OBC first and then asked for payment on the leftover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I *suspect* he was referring to OBC that might be offered up by a TA or some other situation where you don't have access to some portion of OBC until actually on board. I could be wrong.... and you are totally correct if the OBC *is* available up front and "paying" for an excursion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
