A couple of Indy dining/OBC/tip ?'s

[5280mom]

We have OBC for our upcoming December cruise on the Indy. Can I remove the auto gratuities in our current charges and apply the OBC once we are onboard? If we want to make reservations for specialty dining, do we have to wait until we're onboard to use the OBC for the cost or can it be done ahead of time? Also, we are set up with late seating for dinner. What dining rooms are for fixed seating? Thanks for any info you can share.

Any reservations made ahead of time will be charged immediately to your CC and therefore you could not use your OBC to pay for them. We have had no problems in making reservations on the first day for our preferred restaurant and time.

 

If you are doing early or late seating in the MDR and not MTD then gratuities will be charged daily and your OBC would reduce the amount owing.

 

If you are doing MTD then gratuities are due at final payment and the OBC could not be applied to them.

 

The Indy will use dining rooms on decks 3 and 4 for traditional early and late seating dining and deck 5 for MTD.

You have to wait until you are onboard to book specialty restaurants if you want to use OBC. You can remove prepaid gratuities so they will also use your OBC. Traditional seating is decks 3 and 4 in the dining room.
