Cashing out OBC at the Casino Tutorial?

[schelercamus]

Dear CC,

 

We are sailing in a few days and have a large amount of OBC--mostly non-refundable. In the event, we can't use it all, walk us through how to actually "cash out" at the casino. We're not gamblers, so this is new to us.

i am a gambler and this is new to me.

 

what do you mean by "cash out" your mostly nonrefundable OBC?

[julig22]

You don't. Non-refundable OBC is for purchases, can't be used in the casino. 

 

However, if you have refundable OBC, you can use one of the slots to charge the cash to your account (3% convenience fee), then put the cash on the machine, cash out the machine and take the slip to the cashier to get the cash.

 

Or just go to guest services at the end of the cruise and they will refund any leftover refundable OBC.

If you have refundable OBC, you MUST go to guest services and get cash back with no charge (or spend it). You are not allowed off the ship with a refundable balance. Non-refundable OBC is use or lose.

To further emphasize Bird's point - they will literally pull you out of line and send you to a different line to cash out before they let you off the ship.  Cash out the night before.
