nrgMike Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Hi. I'm going on my first cruise in October on Navigator of the Seas. Does everyone get some cruise credit? I booked directly on the Royal Caribbean site but it didn't mention any cruise credit when I booked. Just curious if I might get $20 in cruise credit or not to expect anything. Let me know. Thank You, Michael Quote
JennyB Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 If you long in to your Cruise Planner, at the top it will tell you if you have any OBC (on board credit). I cannot answer as to whether or not everyone always gets some. I know we have on each of our cruises. Sometimes it's a perk when booking. Quote
AshleyDillo Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 Not everyone gets cruise credit. It should show clearly when you book online if you were going to get some onboard credit (OBC). A lot of OBC offers actually come from booking with travel agents. You could transfer your booking to a travel agent and they may offer you some OBC for doing so. ChessE4 1 Quote
Atlantix2000 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 You don't get cruise credit for no reason. It will either be an advertised part of the current sales promotion you book (example, get the second guest 50% off plus $50-$250 OBC depending on stateroom class) or as a perk from your travel agent (in which case they are most likely giving you a portion of their commission as a thank you).

ckmoss Posted July 3, 2019 Report Posted July 3, 2019 The credit is part of what sale you book with. You can price match for more as long as you are still paying on your cruise. Ex. We booked a mini suite and received 100.00 at that time. Two months later, they had a sale that offered 300 for our room. I simply called in and she added the money to our room. Once you pay out though, they won't do this. Quote
twangster Posted July 3, 2019 Report Posted July 3, 2019 Many (most) of my cruises have no OBC. Some have small OBC. Once in while I'll get some decent OBC. However I tend to be drawn to cruise deals off season so the rates are lower and there is less promotional margin for incentives to book. It all depends. Quote
mom2mybugs Posted July 4, 2019 Report Posted July 4, 2019 Most of my cruises have not had once. Occasionally my travel agent has given me some. We had a ton for my cancelled Cuba cruise :(. Jane Quote
fonemanbob Posted July 4, 2019 Report Posted July 4, 2019 We have been very fortunate that the majority of our cruises have had an OBC. And now that we use a TA we get additional OBC. It is a wonderful and helpful perk to have. Quote
