Royal Caribbean (RC) offer the ability to purchase On Board Credit (OBC) to stock up your Seapass Account in the lead up to your cruise. I personally think this is a great way to take advantage of any strengths in your home currency against the US Dollar (USD), and also when you have a bit of unallocated funds in your home budget. They also appear to always offer a much better rate than is available elsewhere!
You can use OBC to purchase drinks, spa treatments, speciality dining, items from the shops, snacks, bingo and casino spending. If at the end of the cruise you have any unused purchased OBC you can withdraw the balance at the casino (5% fee applies) or wait for a refund back to the credit card you purchased it on.
When?
You can purchase OBC anytime upto 3 days prior to your sailing.
How?
In Australia call RC on 1800 754 500 with your booking number & credit card handy and speak to “Cruise Administration” team.
Decide how much USD you’d like to purchase - easy!
Note
Be sure to check with your bank that you won’t be charged any foreign transaction fees. RC instantly charged my card in AUD, so I don’t think foreign fees would be charged but it’s best to check.
The refund to your account only applies to Purchased OBC. OBC received as part of a booking incentive or promotion must be used onboard and a balance withdrawn in the casino or the balance is forfeited.
Happy Cruising 🚢
