ChrisCrafter Posted February 14 #1 Share Posted February 14 Going on Oasis with the kids and grandkids next week. I have three 2026 cruises for them to choose from. What perks are available if I book on board? The information I received with final documents has special OBC for booking on board, but it is for booking within the next 12 months, I’m looking at 24 months out. Im paying for everybody (thanks Grandma) so the perks do add up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted February 14 #2 Share Posted February 14 (edited) If you book nonrefundable $100 obc for a balcony and reduced deposit. I do group rates with a TA and the obc isnt combinable and for a refundable rate I got $75, full deposit. My TA I'd get $50 so all I gained was $25 obc. For a inside I'd lose $25 obc. No discount, just obc which I cant combine with early booking or something and the reduced deposit is only for nonrefundable. Not that great to me. Buy 100 shares of rcl stock and get obc. Combinable with anything seems like. You dont even have to hold it, just buy, show the shares, the obc posts. They never ask later to prove later. Best obc imo.

Yes, NC OBC, is reduced for refundable and/or DP340 solo, but it is combinable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, it must be converted to a sailing with 12 months, else deposit is forfeited. A confirmed (specific sailing) booking can be made for any bookable sailing.

Not combinable with next cruise or balcony discount Thanks. That hasn't come into play for me (yet), as my group bookings have been balconies, next cruise, or less than 6 months in advance.
