Crusin Karen Posted February 15, 2018 #26 Share Posted February 15, 2018 You will only retain your OBC if the new offer also included OBC. For example today I noticed the price went down for my cruise so I am going to request the new rate. With the rate I currently have it came with 450 OBC. The new rate does not include OBC so I will lose that but with the price difference I still come out ahead.You can't pay for upgrades with OBC. You have to be onboard for that. When I have a lot of OBC I usually opt to not prepay gratuities and then I can use it for that. I'm sorry if I sound stupid and/or nosy, but lst, HOW do you get a $450 OBC? Is that for price drops? And how do you know you would lose it? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmichael1279 Posted February 15, 2018 #27 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I THINK there's some confusion here - if you get and email or call from Carnival to upgrade your room, your booking number and everything stays the same. If you see a price drop and call to get the new rate, you might lose the OBC. I received the email upsell yesterday and took advantage of it, that didn't change anything on my booking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfaaa Posted February 15, 2018 #28 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I guess that is why they call it OBC- On Board Credit:confused:....LoL Use towards DSC or go to casino and instantly turn OBC into cash. Easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiddyTwo Posted February 15, 2018 #29 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm sorry if I sound stupid and/or nosy, but lst, HOW do you get a $450 OBC? Is that for price drops? And how do you know you would lose it? :confused: I was supposed to be on a cancelled Fascination cruise back in October. Our cancellation offer was $200 in OBC if we rebooked on the same ship. I received a price drop the other day that got me the other $237. I guess that is why they call it OBC- On Board Credit:confused:....LoL With an ES booking I have read that if a category above the one you are currently booked on becomes cheaper than what you paid then you can upgrade to that room. Half of my credit is due to a price drop so I thought maybe I could put it towards an upgrade. Thanks for your helpful response though (y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you were able to reschedule. So another question: I always do a mock booking of MY category to see if I can get either a price reduction or OBC. I didn't even think that if a category ABOVE mine was cheaper I could apply for reduction/OBC. Is this true? I handpicked my cabin and don't want to move, really.
