What is the most OBC's you ever scored?

[lightnin]

My DH and I did well for our upcoming cruise. We currently have $570 between the two of us. What's the most OBC you received for one cabin, and how many people booked in that cabin? This should be interesting to compare! :)

[YankeeFan4Ever]

The best I've gotten so far is $275 for our upcoming Breakaway cruise in September.

 

Congrats on the $570, that's awesome! :)

We got $600 for price drops on the Spirit to Australia...plus $200 for FCC and $250 for shareholders OBC.....Dennis

$600 for DD & I on our 'diverted RCCL H1N1 Mexican Riviera/Pacific Coastal cruise'. I already had $300 OBC prior to the addition of the second $300 as compensation from RCCL. Turned out that the Pacific Coastal itinerary proved to be the best cruise we had ever taken! There were 6 of us, friends & family, & we all had a wonderful time:D

[Ksea1961]

[NEWORLEANSCRUISER1]

422.00 on the elation two in cabin. We sail on Oct 1st. The most was 600.00 or so I think on the Conquest - two cabins four people.

When I was on the Glory I received a note in my cabin saying I had a $375 "group cruise" OBC to use. Was'nt with a group, booked with carnival, never did figure out why.

 

Bought a tanzenite and diamond slide. I really wanted a sweatshirt like sweater or some tshirts but the selection was pitiful.

 

My next cruise (in DAYS!) I've only gotten about $130 on. The ship is really, really full!

[wiskt]

I'm currently holding a $362 OBC (plus took one free upgrade along with it) for my upcoming cruise and still 17 days to collect!!

[slfcruiser]

I'm getting $642.70 on the Spirit in 6 days. The best OBC I've ever had;).

[janetz]

500.00 :)

So - sorry for the stupid question but how do you get the obc (apart from putting it on yourself) :D

[crzndeb]

I'm traveling solo on the Spirit to Australia, and got an $1100 price drop on a 7A cabin, so $500 before final payment and $600 OBC...also, got $200 OBC on the Hawaii leg...

[Herbaltees]

:mad: $10 on my destiny cruise.

My friend got $100 on her's 3ppl in the OV cabin.

[BigDfromTN]

So - sorry for the stupid question but how do you get the obc (apart from putting it on yourself) :D

 

Some ways you can get OBC.

1. FCC, Future Cruise Certificate.

2. Stock holder

3. Special bookings like a "Triple Play" Sale.

4. ES, Early saver booking and finding reduced prices in various ways. Such as Resident rate, Military rate, Senior rate, Or just a slow booking and they reduce the price to fill the ship.

 

that is what comes to mind for me.

Book early saver( but understand the rules) If the price goes down after final payment you get the difference in OBC.

[martini_guy]

We always get at least $400 between us. We each own 100 carnival shares and also buy the $100 vouchers every cruise. Of course we always get 2 rooms since we have 2 kids to bring and we're all happier in our separate rooms, or else we'd only be able to apply $200 of it on one room.

 

Not that the $400 goes very far really but better than nothing.

 

Edit: forgot to mention that we had about $350 extra on top of that due to a price drop on the Magic last Feb.

[Gail & Marty sailing away]

$800....

[092306]

We're at $360 for our upcoming cruise due to future cruise certificate and ES price drops.

[LynnAnne]

I book ES with Carnival I check every so often and still can't get a break!! How often do you all check it??

[YubaSutter]

$475 for two of us on a 7 day.

[maxandmolly]

A grand $20 on my upcoming Fascination cruise.

I scored a $640 OBC with a price drop...this was before they started the Early Saver program.
