VTSKIandCRUISEGUY Posted December 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 7, 2023 This is a good problem to have: We have $300 of OBC on our upcoming Enchanted cruise. However, we have the premium package, so gratuities, internet and drinks are already covered. We don't do premium restaurants, and we have no plans to book any excursions. We're flying, so we don't want to buy liquor. So, what to do with our $300 of OBC?!? Is it possible to use OBC in the casino, at slot machines? Then I can put it on my account to use, and then cash it in at the cashier. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be amazed t how quickly your "problem" of excess OBC will be taken care of! 😄 Seriously though, you do not need to "put it on your account". It is *already* on your account. Any charges on board that you make (for ANYTHING) will use that OBC first and then start to accrue charges to be applied to your credit card.

Do they charge a fee when you use your account to play in the casino? I know RCL charges something like 5% when you do that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skynight Posted December 7, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 7, 2023 (edited) Yes you can charge casino play to your on board account. If you have a credit balance (OBC) the charge will net against this balance and will have a casino account. Be aware that you actually have to play. If you only take a few pulls and then try to cash out your casino account will be frozen. You can also charge table game play to purchase chips. Most table games have better odds than slots.

MissP22 Posted December 8, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 8, 2023 What about excursions, Effie's and possibly some shopping at the ports where you can use you OBC if you shop at places linked to Princess's medallion? You can easily use up $300 in OBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
