Windstar Cabin Advice

[Nearpost345]

arebaj, somewhere on here is a discussion pertaining to booking excursions before you sail (with a credit card), and then obtaining a refund and using your OBC instead . The idea is that you get to avoid being disappointed once on board due to an excursion being sold out.

We also had a large OBC on our first Windstar sailing on Star Breeze in Tahiti in January.  We booked a couple of excursions months prior to sailing and yes we were able to cancel and rebook onboard using the OBC.  The original charges were refunded to our onboard account and any unspent funds were refunded to our CC at the end of the sailing.

 

The only other issue is that the excursions are always $10-$20 more when booked onboard.  We were charged the prevailing onboard rate when rebooking.
