Next Cruise onboard - combine OBC with TA OBC after transferring the booking?

[JohnBoy in NC]

Hi Royal cruisers

I have searched and read several threads concerning recent changes to the NextCruise program…which figures since I will be sailing Royal for the first time in 13 years this coming January. :) I do like the opportunity to get a future cruise certificate for Celebrity (which I haven't sailed yet)--so hopefully they won't change that before I board. As for the new "improved" program (ha) I do love the reduced deposit – especially since I am eyeing a 10 day cruise in January 2016.

 

Anyway, my question concerns combining the OBC you receive for booking a Next Cruise on board. I always use an online TA (the travel agency can vary for me, depending upon the amount of OBC offered etc.). I understand that I can tell the loyalty ambassador that I want it assigned directly to Royal this time and then you have 60 days to transfer it to a travel agent (if I don’t want the credit/booking assigned to the TA for my current sailing)

 

Has anyone done this since the March 15th, 2014 switchover and was able to combine the Royal OBC given for booking your next cruise onboard with a transferred booking OBC offered by a TA after your returned home?

Thanks!

Should not be a problem. Royal's OBC is separate from whatever perq's you might receive from your TA.

If you already have a cruise in mind you will get more OBC from Royal if you book that cruise onboard rather than buying the next cruise certificate...you can still have the booking kept with RC...and still enjoy the reduced deposit...just a thought for maximizing your OBC...:)
