Just wondering how great the discount is and also is it best to get this done as soon as you enter the ship? Do you go to the front desk?
I always put a request in the box at the booking desk the first afternoon. We have a quote at our room after the show/dinner & call to confirm the charge to the same CC. If you have a cruise to reshop, list your reservation number.
The OBB is a 10% discount on the cruise fare for a cruise up to 18 months from the date of booking onboard. You get a 10% deposit for 7+ night cruises and an OBC depending on the length of the cruise. Can book up to 2 rooms for one date per address cruising.

Only 10%? that's not that great of a discount
It depends on the cruise. I plan on booking an Alaska cruise onboard in September. I figure I'll get about 600.00 off the cruise plus 200 OBB. So about 800.00 total savings. I also plan on naming Costco as my TA so I should get about 500.00 from Costco.
Wait so if you tell them your travel agent you get the OBC from the travel agent too? We use Small World Travel.
Yes you can pick a room during OBB.When you do an OBB, can you select a room? Can I book in advance and have them transfer it to an OBB?
We didn't rebook on board. A month later we got a coupon in the mail to rebook for 10% discount. ...

Yes they usually ask if you have a TA. Just name them when you make the reservation. If you forget you have 30 days to transfer the reservation to a TA.
Given the high prices of many Disney cruises, 10% off can save hundreds of dollars - and perhaps several grand.Only 10%? that's not that great of a discount
There is one question that I can't find the answer for, maybe someone can help me.
If I book a cruise on opening day say March 2015, and take a cruise I have had booked in July 2015. I then book a cruise onboard July 2015 cruise for 2016 do I pay the price of the cruise at the time of July 2015 cruise or do they take the price from the opening day booking in March 2015.
I hope this makes sense, but I can't find the answer for it.
