OBB booking question

[moosecrouse]

My mother and I will be sharing a cabin for an Oct 2016 cruise. We currently have 4 cabins booked for Nov 2017. This cruise is not showing as blacked out for OBB discount and OBC. We are booked as following:
1) me & mom
2) sister 1 & BIL and 2 kids
3) sister 2 & one kid
4) BIL & adult nephew & one kid

Are both me & my mother able to do 2 OBB or is it limited to 2 per cabin. My thinking is to switch me with one of my nephews in my sister with 2 cabins. That way I would get the 10%discount in one of her rooms and rebook her other room for the OBC. I would have mom rebook hers with switched nephew for 10% discount and sister 1 cabin for the OBC.

My other concern is being able to actually cancel their reservations to rebook the same rooms. When we did this in the past we didn't have existing reservations.

Thank for any advice.

OBB is limited to 2 staterooms on the same future cruise date per address represented on the current cruise.

If you and your mom live at different addresses, you may each book 2 staterooms (4 staterooms total).
If you and your mom live together at the same address, you may book just 2 staterooms.

You can book other people into the staterooms, but the lead name cannot change or it will lose the OBB status. So no need to re-arrange who's in which stateroom simply for doing the OBB.

You (or the lead in each stateroom) may need to cancel after you get home. It seems hit or miss whether the Future Bookings CM can do that or not.

Enjoy your cruise!

Pretty much confirmed everything for me. Funny you mentioned about being able to cancel rez onboard. 1st time I did with existing rezzies we had to cancel at home. Last year when I did I was able to cancel onboard and rebook the same room. Wasn't sure if it was because we had a HC room or just kinda depended on the person working the desk..
