Can OBC be used for Daily service Charges?

It depends what type of OBC; if non-refundable (offered by NCL) then no. If, however, it's offered by a TA, it's possible.  The OBC being offered for new bookings right now, it's a hard no.  

Sorry for bad news.  The good news is, the sun was shining when I was out earlier.  🙂

Be safe, take care.

Do not make a new booking with cash right now.  The cruise prices are all very marked up.

 

To answer your question, you cannot use it for the mandatory gratuities, BUT you can use it in the casino and then just cash it out.

 

Just go to a machine, charge to your stateroom the amount of the OBC, then hit the cashout button without playing and take it to the cashier.  They will give you cash.

 

Then you will see that amount charged-and-credited from your stateroom, plus 3%.

 

So if you have $100 OBC, you will walk away with $100 cash, a $103 stateroom charge, and a $100 stateroom credit, for a grand total of $97 in your favor!

 

Great success!
