Quick answers before you dive in
These are the questions readers ask most often when a bonus-onboard-credit sale goes live.
Q1What is bonus onboard credit?
It's a prepaid dollar balance loaded onto your shipboard account before you sail, usable for drinks, dining, spa treatments, shore excursions, and other extras onboard.
Q2Do I need a promo code to get the credit?
No. When you book through Direct Line Cruises during the Labor Day sale, the bonus credit attaches to your reservation automatically at the time of booking.
Q3When does the credit show up on my account?
It's confirmed on your reservation at booking and appears in your onboard account when you board the ship.
Q4Can the bonus credit stack with other cruise line promotions?
It depends on the specific cruise line and sailing. A Direct Line Cruises advisor can confirm stacking eligibility for the exact itinerary and stateroom category you're considering.
Q5How is this sale different from the promotions that run year-round?
Cruise lines almost always have some offer in the market, but this Labor Day sale features dedicated bonus onboard credit amounts that are separate from the standard perks like drink packages or reduced deposits.

Why a Conversation with an Advisor Is Worth Five Minutes
The offers above give you the broad picture. The fine-grained details - which stateroom categories qualify on a particular ship, whether a bonus stacks with another active promotion, what the combined value looks like on a specific departure date - shift by itinerary and cabin.
That's where a brief conversation with one of our cruise advisors saves you guesswork. If you're already watching a specific sailing, call and ask what the current offer looks like on that booking.
