What is onboard credit (OBC) and how does it work?

OBC is Onboard Credit. This is added to your onboard account as spending money you can use during your cruise holiday for onboard services and entertainment such as drinks, spa treatments, or shore excursions. This can only be used for purchases once on board and not be used beforehand to upgrade your booking such as cabin upgrades. For information on each cruise line’s applicable OBC policies, please see our cancelled cruises updates and flexible cancellations page.
