Do You Lose Pre-Cruise Credit? Here’s the Truth

In previous videos, I explained what Onboard Credit (OBC) is, and what Future Cruise Credit (FCC) is: how they work, how to use them, and how they can effectively become real money. But there’s a third type of credit that appears in the cruise industry: Pre-Cruise Credit. This type of credit, commonly shown on cruise line websites such as Royal Caribbean (and others), often raises important questions among passengers: • Do you have to use it before the cruise starts? • Will you lose it if you don’t use it in advance? • What’s the difference between Pre-Cruise Credit and Onboard Credit? • And how exactly does it work? In this video, I explain what Pre-Cruise Credit really is, how it works, and clear up the confusion around this often misunderstood benefit.
