OBC question.

[bobbiwoz]

We booked OGT 4 weeks before our Fantasy Cruise that just ended on Saturday. We got 2 OBCs. One was from DU which we expected, one was $50 beverage credit from Disney. That was a surprise since we booked so late. Does Disney always give cruisers a beverage credit? Is it because we are Platinum? I never looked closely at the little cards before.

Did you use a Disney Visa?

Did you use a Disney Visa?

Yes...is that why?

 

[cashe]

Yes, the perk for Disney Visa is $50 OBC. I have read it was able to be used for anything but that disney was changing it to a beverage credit.

one was $50 beverage credit from Disney

This sounds like the Disney Visa offer -- if you pay the full cruise fare using a Disney Visa credit card, DCL offers a $50 beverage credit.

Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks! We never gave a code to get the credit, I suppose DU did!

What if I book while on board do I get an on board credit? If so how much for a four night?

 

[lanejudy]

Onboard booking (OBB) benefits include OBC of $100 for cruises of less than 7 nights, and $200 for cruises of 7+ nights. There is also a 10% discount off the fare. And a reduced deposit (10% instead of standard 20%) for cruises of 7+ nights. This cannot be combined with the Disney Visa OBC offer, but can be combined with a TA's offer. OBBs are subject to black-out dates (generally holidays, sometimes peak times and/or special itineraries).

Enjoy your cruise!

Isn't the OBB offer 10% off of the deposit, not the fare? Or both?

[lanejudy]

As noted above, the OBB offer includes a 10% discount off the cruise FARE (exclusive of taxes, fees, insurance, etc.). On cruises of 7+ nights, there is also a reduced deposit required (10% instead of the standard 20%); shorter cruises require the standard 20% deposit.

Enjoy your cruise!

When does the OBB OBC show up, on the last day on the final statement?

We booked our upcoming 7-day cruise back in Sept on board so we are supposed to have a $200 OBC - Yeah!
