Using stockholder OBC question

[PennStateMom]

I'm expecting a $50 OBC from RCL stock ownership on a 4 day cruise I just booked.  Since the beverage package deals are likely ending today, I went ahead and booked it using my credit card.  When the RCL stock OBC gets posted to my account, can I have $50 refunded back to my credit card?  Thanks for any insight into this dilemma.

Not that I am aware of.  You would have to cancel the beverage package which would get the refund to your credit card and then purchase the package using OBC.

If you don’t use the credit on the ship I think it would go to the credit card on file (if using one) at the end of the cruise, unless of course you cash it out on the last full day… others will confirm if this is wrong but I’m pretty sure the stock credit is refundable

Thanks. That is very helpful.

Shareholder credit is NON Refundable.   Use it by midnight the last night or lose it.

No it isn’t … 😢

We never spend the Shareholder credit before or during the cruise.  We just leave it on the account and have it be applied to the balance during the cruise which for us is usually just gratuities.

 

I have used it before to apply to an excursion prior to the cruise but it becomes too much of a hassle if the excursion price drops and then I have to keep track of the credit as well if the OBC gets back on our account.

That's effectively spending the OBC.

Correct. If you don't prepay your tips it will be added to your onboard account every day and your  the Shareholder credit or any other OBC will simple the deducted from that amount. Non refundable is used first, then refundable and with the balance charged to your card.
