On board question.

hi,can some one clear something up regarding on board credit,can you use it towards the tips I have seen on two sites one saying yes the other no.i have actually taken a snap of the one that says “automatic tips” can be paid by on board credit.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it can

Good news thanks for that.

If you ask for a statement from Reception after a few days then you will see the Gratuities have been added to your statement but will have been debited from your OBC leaving a total available to spend.

Thanks again.:D

Yes they can come out of onboard credit, it may appear on your statement after a day or two.

what you spend aboard will rack up against your OBC accounts - which are per card... so make sure you spend on both cards to use your allowance on each "account" these are then combined on one bill at the end if that's how you elect to pay or separately if not.

Thanks everyone.

I'd never have thought of that, so thanks for the heads up

As long as you are both paying on one card for the cabin then one card can pay most things and the other not many. As long as the two together spend the OBC then there is not a problem. We do this all the time.

It is different if the two people in a cabin have registered two separate cards.

That's why I've never thought of it, we pay on one card, but its something to bear in mind if I sail with my friend

As DaiB has said, as long as you present one credit / debit card per cabin at check in, your accounts are ‘linked’ and it doesn’t matter which Cruise card is used on the ship. I tend to present my Cruise card for 90% of our on board spend but my wife’s OBC is always deducted from the final bill.

Yes, we do exactly the same and it works fine for us.
