Found it. Still can't use it pre-cruise though.

no but you can see it.  since they removed the option to view your documents earlier than 2 weeks prior a lot of people have been asking how can they see their obc.  well this is how

I can't find it.  I found everything I have already paid for, internet, Cheers, etc...  but don't see my OBC.  Could it be because I book from a travel agent, and not directly with Carnival?

I can't find "view balance details" anywhere on the page.

Nope!  I just have a white blank space there!  It must be because I pay the travel agent, not Carnival directly.  Thanks for showing me where, I really appreciate it!!

That is ok!  My travel agent is one of my closest friends, I just bug her every time I forget how much credit I have per room!!

I am checked in for my cruise Saturday and I do not have a "view balance" selection either. The only place I can see my OBC is when I print the PDF of the check in documents. Frustrating!

If you used a travel agent, it may not be visible to you.   If not, then do this:

1) Log into your cruise. 
2) click the 3 lines at the top right of the page.  
3) click on ORDER AND BOOKING DETAILS 

4) scroll down past the cabin photo to where it says paid in full. Under that, it should say “View Balance Details”. 
Click on that.

The pay restaurants may be cheaper onboard than booking in advance if you want to do 3 or 6. They sell them 38 for 3 of the $15 restaurants or $60 for steak and 2 others.

 

Only on the 3 Vista Class ships.

And it's a shame. On Royal, you can book anything you want prior to the cruise and use your OBC to help pay for it prior to sailing. I wish Carnival would allow the same thing.

With that great Dynamic Pricing policy they have, which keeps you guessing if a visit to the Coco Cay Beach Club is 60 bucks or 199 bucks.

Have to use it onboard. Part of the reason it is called "Onboard" Credit. There are more than enough things you can do with it once onboard. Everything will still be available. If there are only 2 of you, 1/3 of it is already gone to the room service fee. If there are more than 2, it goes up even more. It doesn't spread as far as you think, so be prepared. We had $900 in OBC and it went fast between gambling, meals, and room service fee.

Still not there, unfortunately. But the fact I used a travel agent must explain it. So long as I can see my balance easily when I'm on the boat. I have $500 OBC and I'm going to use every penny.

I just went into one of my bookings and I can now use onboard credit to purchase too!  Thank you for posting!

Are you still able to get an advance on the slots and bill the amount to the room? Cash out and get the cash?

 

[audcc77]

Grrr.  We’re on MG in a few weeks on January 2 and I have to wait to board before using any of my OBC.  

 

So apparently MG is not one of the ships on which  you can do this in the near future.

It's not the ship, it's because the new feature unfortunately doesn't go into effect for some reason until March 15th.  =/

Just to add on I was able to book with OBC for our cruise on Vista on April 23 2022, this included excursions, Wi-Fi, Water Bottles and Bubbles
