Creator's Key Takeaways

It's money given you to given to you by the cruise company when you get on board the ship and basically that's for you then to spend on the various amenities

Ships operate a cashless system. Uh and that's for your safety and for your convenience.

Be careful though when you are looking at an incentive that is that has onboard spend as as as one of the ways in to lure you to actually buy that cruise.

If you've got a nice bit of onboard credit on there, I definitely put it towards your drinks package.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Register a credit card at reception on arrival or pre-register before boarding to avoid long queues.
βœ“Consider paying for a slightly higher cabin grade if it includes substantial onboard credit, as it may pay for the upgrade.
βœ“Use onboard credit for specialty restaurants, drinks packages, spa treatments on port days, and duty-free shopping.
βœ“Book shore excursions through Planet Cruise for potential savings of up to 60%.
βœ“Be cautious with internet packages on port-intensive itineraries; use land-based Wi-Fi instead.
