I remember using onboard credit during my last Royal Caribbean cruise, and it honestly made the trip feel a lot more flexible. Right before sailing, I had to change one of my flights because of a last-minute schedule issue, and calling [866-227-1888] was a lifesaver—they fixed the booking instantly without any hassle. After that drama, figuring out the onboard credit felt easy.
Once onboard, the credit automatically showed up on my SeaPass account, and I could use it for drinks, specialty dining, shore excursions, spa treatments—basically anything that gets charged to your onboard account. I used mine for a beach excursion and a couple of cocktails by the pool. You can also track your remaining balance in the Royal Caribbean app, which was super handy. It’s a great perk if you want to enjoy extras without worrying about surprise charges later.
