OBC still available?

Going to book our first VV for Feb 2025. Is it still possible to get the $600 OBC from any agent, or is that deal done and gone?

There are agents out there that have the old MNVVs with the $600 OBC and $300 off the fare with a $300 deposit.  The trick is finding an agent who has these.  Find a Gold Tier agent.  If you look for a Facebook group for your cruise and a roll call here, you may get some leads, because travel agent information is not allowed on Cruise Critic.  You can also poke around on Reddit.  Some agents post there.

That Sailor Loot was only with the original MNVV package. VV eliminated that amount of OBC with the new MNVVs. They also, rightfully, curtailed the amount of MNVVs that TAs and Sailors can purchase. The MNVV situation was getting out of hand with TAs stacking up dozens of them.

 

You can still get $100 OBC from many Gold Tier TAs and good TAs will add additional OBC as a thank you for booking with them.

They are very scarce but you can still find TAs or other people that have them avalable. Check Reddit and Facebook.

Your best bet is if you are booking a longer sailing or expensive cabin as they are being rare and people don't want to "waste" them on a four night cruise.

If you find one, know that you must book a sea terrace or better (no lock-it-in rate). Also, only a very few other promotions combine with it. The new 5% paid in full discount does combine. Some TAs have a bit of OBC that will combine on certain sailings.
