Is OBC transferrable to other cabin?


 Share

Recommended Posts

I am wondering if OBC is transferrable to other cabin?

 

I now have OBC that I don't think I can use them all, even after gratuities. We have three cabins, and I am wondering if there is a way for me to use my OBC to pay other cabin's gratuities or expenses?

I know of no way to directly transfer OBC from one folio to another, but ...

 

Pre-cruise, if you have linked your three reservations online, you can use your OBC to purchase anything for another person in your party that they might like... shore excursions, spa treatments, specialty dining, etc. 

 

While aboard, it's a matter of providing your card for any expenses you would like to pick up (e.g., shorex, specialty dining, wine at dinner, etc.)

My question is how do people access such large amounts of OBC?  Besides using a travel agent and owning stock, what are other sources?

Booking on board gets some OBC depending upon length of cruise and cabin category.

For quite a few years now we were getting $800 OBC including tips, PDP, and premium WiFi for booking a Sky Suite. Book onboard you get more OBC. Then there is the RCL stock OBC. We had $1150 OBC on our cruise this month. We bought an GoPro12, Montblanc bracelet, extra carry on bag, Dinner at Eden and Fine Cut Steakhouse, 2 boarding photos, Icelandic troll, $12 for wine above the PDP limit, and a pair of shorts.

Craziest one we ever had ( mid 4 figures ) was back summer/fall of 2021, getting ready for the the 'restart'.  Repriced twice after final, and the difference was paid in OBC.
