Book on line or on board the cruise?

[Poohbear88]

I know the cruises for Jan 18 is going to be released soon. I have a cruise planned for April 2016. I was wondering if I book a cruise on line for January 2018 can I change it on the cruise in April. I am wanting the discount for on board booking plus the on board credit? Does anyone know if I can do this?

You can, we just did this in September. We were on the fantasy and booked a trip on the wonder online before we left. On the ship they upgraded our reservation to include the discount and credit for January

You have to "reshop" the cruise. I just got off the Magic. I had booked a Oct 21, 2017 NYC to Canada and had put down a $600+ deposit on opening day. I sat with the CM and she booked a new reservation applying the 10% cabin discount, and charged me a new deposit of $300+. I will receive the $200 OBC, and I retained the same cabin.
My credit card was refunded the $600+ within 5 days of the transaction.
All is good.
