service charge on NCL

Can;t use OBC for service charges.

 

You usually can if it's OBC from a TA. That's been our experience anyway.

I'm waiting to pay mine because I'm planning on using our credit from our travel agent to pay for the service charges.

 

Can;t use OBC for service charges.

 

Actually, you can possibly use your OBC. Ask your TA if they are giving you non refundable or refundable OBC. If its refundable, yes, it can be used for DSC.

 

If non refundable, there is a work around for this but it costs you 3%. So depending on how large the OBC is for and how many DSC you have to pay it may be worthwhile, if you don't have other plans for the non-refundable OBC. Cash out your OBC at the casino, pay 3%, then go to Guest Services and put the cash on your account to have it applied to your DSC.

We just left the Breakaway and our TA was very specific in telling us prior to that we could not use OBC for Service Charges. She was right! :) I didn't like how they took it out daily versus one lump sum..I had to do a lot of math on vacation lol

That's so odd... I used OBC to defray my service charges in March on the Sky and had no problems. Is this something new?
