- What if a guest / travel agent wishes to purchase both eligible and non-eligible items?
- The Shipboard Credit amount will only be applied toward the eligible items; a credit card will be required for the balance and for those items that are not eligible.
- Can guests who depart on a combination cruise or grand voyage prior to May 1, 2019 use their shipboard credit for the voyage segments that depart after May 1, 2019?
- No – a guest’s initial embarkation must be on or after May 1, 2019.
