on board credit,ncl

if you have money still in the on board credit when your cruise is over can you add it to the tip?

The best place for this research would be on the NCL board, here:

It depends upon the source of the OBC. If it's OBC that you purchased or that was given to you by a TA or family member than yes, you could add it to the service charge. If the OBC is promotional OBC from NCL than it cannot be used for the service charge.

Thanks BUT what if it is promotional and for some reason you just don't use it then what happens? Just asking.

If it's promotional and you don't use it all, I'm pretty sure you lose the remainder.

Yep, promotional OBC is use it or lose it.

What can an OBC be used for? We have a promo one that NCL gave us when we booked. Alcohol? Souvenirs? Or do they just deduct it off of what you owe at the end?

It can be used for anything purchased on the ship. Shore excursions, specialty restaurants, booze/drinks, anything from the shops and I believe you can use it off your account in the Casino. It just can't be used to offset the $12 per day discretionary service charge.

Everything that you buy onboard goes on your onboard account that you set up when you check in. You use your cabin key for all purchases. OBC is credited to your account so your final total will be minus your OBC. As mentioned the promotional OBC cannot be used for the service charges ($12 per day per person) so if that were the only thing on your account the total would remain unchanged.
