What will you do with the OBC being offered by carnival for certain cruises

[geckoaz]

By now you have seen carnival cancellation thread but if you take the OBC what will you use it for? Ours is $200 and we haven't decided.

Drink. Alcohol kills the virus.

I previously booked the Chef's Table.  The OBC will cover that.  In effect it will cover the first 200.00 of whatever I spend and in my mental budget that's about 400.

 

It really doesn't matter in the end - my bill will simply be 200.00 less.

Nothing exciting, just let it cover gratuities.

We are on the Horizon 8 day.

I'll put it towards the 5 pay Dinners we have booked.

We never get the alcohol plan because we only have maybe one or two drinks a night.  The OBC will come in handy covering our drinks.  I also usually get a couple of T-shirts and play a little on the slots.  I am very happy with the unexpected credit.

It will nicely cover our gratuities.

If your ship has a chef's table, try and do it! Or something else you normally wouldn't splurge on like a massage or other spa treatment.

Drank.  Obvs.

for sure drink. we don't buy cheers (although tempting) so it'll be great to have a drink or two each day and not worry about incurring extra costs.

Yes.  It was money I was already going to spend so I'll be "saving" $200.  

Or I might just buy a few more expensive drinks than I would have originally.

Pictures!

It'll go in the OBC pot and get spent by whatever

I would totally get a massage then! Or use it to pay gratuities and get a refund and put $200 towards your next cruise.

Lol, I was thinking a nice bottle of wine.... but your way works also

Unfortunately we've pre-paid gratuities and already purchased the drink package. So this + the $195 of OBC I've already received for the price drop will most likely go towards photos. It's my bachelorette, so I'm giving myself the freedom to buy ALLL the photos haha.

Sounds like a win win, enjoy

You can remove prepaid gratuities and get a refund and use the OBC towards that, if you wanted. Otherwise, enjoy the photos 🙂

Since the $200 obc is a credit to our Sail & Sign account,  the first $200 that we spend on whatever is on them. Sweet! 😀

Yes, slots!!!

Imy wife reminded me there is a pandora on the horizon. I might need a bar crawl on the first night.

Using ours for gratuities.  Gonna buy cheers when it gets closer to the end of the month, so I know that they haven't canceled anything.
