WhiterockBeach Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I have $275.00 on my on board credit account for my next cruise. Can this credit be used as part of my gratuities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princevaliantus Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Yes... it will be deducted from your onboard account, if you have the credit available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'll add onto what others mentioned. If you do not prepay your gratuities, you will be charged a daily automatic gratuity onboard. That cost will be offset by your OBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiterockBeach Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Aloha VAGOLFERBOB, I have used on board credit for laundry and food, etc, but never for my daily gratuities. This credit of $275.00 will not complete all of my gratuity for the 13 night cruise but it will sure help. I called RCI and they could NOT find the policy anywhere that states that free credit can be used for these tips. They want me to pay up, because this was a discounted cruise ploy to get me to book. Mahalo for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PG Cruiser Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Following up on this topic. Is the information provided here still valid now (2021)? OBC can be used for gratuities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristiZ Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 Yes, if you have not prepaid they are charged to your room daily and come out of OBC first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuttMutt Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Yep. Gotta love a reprice that covers all the automatic gratuities. Makes the trip that much sweeter. You can also cash some out through the slot machines for shore money. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
