nicoleds Posted January 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I'm booking a cruise that will give us $500 onboard credit. Can that be used at the casino? Like when you're at the slot machine and you charge your room, will that be deducted from the onboard credit? I'm just wondering if it's a general credit for whatever you might use your sign and sail for or if there's restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x lindsay x Posted January 5, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 5, 2023 You can use it in the casino, there are no restrictions but they will charge a 3% service charge if you use it at table games, no charge at slots. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klfrodo Posted January 5, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2023 OBC is just a credit to your account. Whichever bill comes in first, gets deducted from the credit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get that... is it because they feel that you're more likely to lose it at slots than on a table? Heck, they should encourage people even more by offering a bonus when you charge (and actually use) money, lol... Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why let slot players access cash for free, but not table players? Does Carnival have a level of gambler where they waive the fee? On Royal they waive the fee when you are Prime and that level isn't really that hard to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM Cruise Posted January 5, 2023 #11 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Put the money in a slot > Hit Cash Out > take the ticket to the Cashier > take the cash to a table game. Easy peasy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom I don’t know if that’s why but carnival makes a lot more money off slot than table players. Hence why slot players earn more points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyislandwilldo Posted January 5, 2023 #14 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Sis and I have OBC for the cabin. Am I able to download all our OBC on a machine from my card? Or do we each have to download the OBC? I would hate to download all the OBC for me on a machine and then find out they gave me half the OBC and put the other half on my card.

Easy peasy. And that will get your charging privileges blocked in the casino. OP needs to play a few spins before cashing out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I'm aware of, but they are waived on Premier, Elite, and Ultra cruises, and invitations to those are based on past play. So kinda indirectly, to answer your question. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on regular cruises. Yeah I was lumping them together with Premier (they all used to be called Premier), but the short Premier cruises are now branded as Getaway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
