OBC carry over

[Cazza320]

We are doing a back to back 4 night and then a 10night on Edge in November. We have been given a huge amount of on-board credit for both cruises does anybody know if we are able to carry it over from the 1st to the second ? 
I have tried looking at the terms and conditions but can’t see anything so would very much appreciate anybody’s help . 😊😊

No.  Easy simple answer

[chemmo]

No, you can not carry from one cruise to another. In terms of accounting your cruises are not joined. Anything left over from cruise one will disappear.

 

You could, however, end of cruise one buy some wine or spirits to enjoy in your room cruise two as they will be delivered to your suite end of cruise one…

 

Hope you have two wonderful cruises!

[cruisestitch]

No carry over.  Each cruise is a separate booking and the OBC must be zeroed out separately.

[Cazza320]

Thank you all for your quick replies. Good point re wine etc for the cabin . 
😊

Each cruise is  treated as a separate cruise and the ships deed to be Zeroed out at the end of each cruise. NR OBC, Internet Minutes and Casino Credits and Chips have to be cashed out prior to embarkation.    If not it is forfeited.    Some have said that The Casino Credits and Chips are valid for a short period after the cruise but I've not been able to confirm this.    I just cash in everything

 

For Refundable OBC you can cash it out on last day of cruise or have it refunded to your Credit Card on file.

I have cruised when liquor was not delivered to the cabins of B2B cruisers until the end of their last cruise.

Reliably unreliable….Hopefully for the benefit of the OP a few more people can share their experiences. It is posts like this where Celebrity making a comment used to be useful. 
 

Following your experience it may be worth the OP asking about procedure when he boards and before he buys his drinks!

And I’ve cruised where items bought on the last full day were just given to you as opposed to being delivered.

We just returned from a short cruise with a large OBC.  We spent some and cashed out the rest in the casino.

We have had the  same experience.

You can also request an 'extra tips' form from guest relations to give outstanding/favourite crew members extra gratuities using any surplus OBC. This is then paid to them with their monthly salary.

Here’s the wording from B2B meeting

You can use it in the casino. Just ask how to use for either slots or tables.  If you lose it all, what the heck it's their money. If you win anything, great. So far, we always win either a little or a lot.

More importantly, you can run it through the slots one time and cash out; expect a six to 10 percent loss. Or spend more time and run through it on blackjack or craps. With proper play, expect a one or two percent loss.

Unfortunately, no... that is a Princess thing.  In fact I don't know of any other line that does.

OBC can't be used in the casino?

I know this has been done and have read it on a thread but can not remember the process ? Can you just go to casino and get cash from the cashier to charge to your room but not gamble it ??

No, you have to actually play the slots to cash out your OBC. I can only speak to Equinox as we just returned from a cruise on her. We had a lot of nonrefundable OBC. The process on the Equinox is to set up a casino account on one of the slots, transfer OBC to the account, play the slots and cash out. I was told that I must play 10% in order to cash out my OBC. So, I transferred $100 OBC to my casino account, played the slots until, in my case, I won a fair amount (much more than 10%), cashed out and redeemed my voucher at the cashier. I'm assuming that if you transferred $100 OBC to your casino account and lost $10, you'd be able to cash out the remaining $90. You can't transfer OBC to your casino account and immediately cash out. At the cashier, there were cards explaining how to set up your account and cash out. Apparently, some ships don't have the slots with that capability so you have to have the cashier transfer the OBC.

Great thank you ! That was what I read before and we do like to gamble some so that’s not a problem!!

If it's TA provided OBC, it's refundable or just load that amount onto a slot machine and room charge it. Then cash out and cash in the ticket.

The process several have described where you load OBC into a slot machine and immediately cash out without gambling does not work on reflection.

 

You can have them load your OBC into a slot machine but you must gamble it —- you cannot immediately cash out on that ship.  Their slot machines are not updated to allow this.
