buzzandjulie Posted March 23, 2010 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Lucky enough to get an "upgrade" on my June 10th EOS cruise and "on board credit". I know it can be used on drinks, excursions, and the like but how about casino, bingo, spa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo70 Posted March 23, 2010 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Lucky enough to get an "upgrade" on my June 10th EOS cruise and "on board credit". I know it can be used on drinks, excursions, and the like but how about casino, bingo, spa It can be used on just about anything (i.e. spa and bingo would be a yes). As for the casino, you need cash to play in the casino. There is a 3% fee to take out cash against your on board account, so while you could use the money there, you are better bringing cash for the casino to avoid losing 3% off the top.

bballmomma Posted March 23, 2010 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I think it can be used on anything except for your tips. We had an onboard credit on our last cruise and they just deducted it from the amount we charged on board. We departed on a Sunday but it doesn't actually show up until Monday night.

cruisegirl1 Posted March 23, 2010 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I beleive it can be used for ANY charges against your seapass account. Other are correct - there will be an additional 3% fee if you use if for cash from the casino. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollon Posted March 23, 2010 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2010 this really doesn't answer your question but may be helpful. If you don't use all your obc it will be credited back to your credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 23, 2010 #8 Share Posted March 23, 2010 It can be credited back...IF it's "refundable"! Some OBC's are NOT refundable, and they will use the refundable obc first... Any OBC you have will be a credit against your account....spend it anyway you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figsgrandma Posted March 24, 2010 #9 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Is the on board credit for the cabin, or is it per person? As a result of a price decrease for our upcoming cruise, my husband and I each have $160 in on board credit. We are using the same credit card to pay for all charges. Assuming we want to use the entire credit, do we each have to charge $160 on our own sea pass, or can one of us charge the entire $320? Also, is on board credit as a result of a price reduction refundable if the entire amouont isn't used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do your set sail pass on-line, you will see how you can put charges of numerous pax under one credit card. At check in request that all OBC be put under the Sea pass card that is associated with that credit card, this way you will only have one final statement. Simple.

If you are using the same credit card it doesn't show up as an OBC per person... it will show up as a credit to the primary person... the one who booked the cabin. For example: we were on the Liberty of the Seas last month, I booked the cabin, but we did most of the charging on Hubby's sea pass. Both of our sea passes were linked to the same credit card. Each of his charges were credited off his sea pass and added onto mine. My seapass showed the OBC. At least this is how it looked when I reviewed the charges on the stateroom TV. I never stopped by the guest services desk either. We had no problem using up a $400 credit. Hope that made sense! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked the cruise, but usually most of the charges we make on board go onto my husband's sea pass. I agree that we shouldn't have too much trouble using up our $360 credit on a 9 day cruise, but I may speak to them about it at check in, or sometime during the cruise, just to make sure.

cruiseguy1016 Posted March 24, 2010 #13 Share Posted March 24, 2010 DW and I each had $125 OBC on our cruise last week. She used her Sea Pass for $10 in expenses. I spent $240.34. Our total bill at the end of the cruise was $0.34. The charge account was set up on one credit card. She did not lose any OBC by not spending her portion of it. The one credit card pays for all of the expenses charged to that room. It does not matter who makes the charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figsgrandma Posted March 25, 2010 #14 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks again to everyone who answered my question. I'm sure both my husband and I will have no problem using up the credit, but it's good to know that we don't have to keep track of who's spending what.

annabell08 Posted March 25, 2010 #15 Share Posted March 25, 2010 You can check to see if the OBC can become cash at Guest Services. We did that in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
