You should wait as it's only been 4 working days. It can take a week or two to show up. Be patient, you will get it.

Does anyone remember silly straws when they were a kid? I had a few.

You don't really need to transfer it

The person who has it can use it for themselves or for t h e other person

The only caveat is if you wanted to book excursions, you have to have the OBC necessary in each account to use prior to booking them. 

I know I have seen this discussed on the boards before.

 Can OBC be transferred from one person to another in same cabin? If so, can it be done on board? or a Princess rep before trip, or both?

I understand your concerns about testing positive.  But what will you do IF you ARE positive?  Just because you don't test won't mean that you have/don't have covid.  

 

Will you do a home test?

Still get on the ship?

Still fly home?

 

I have lots of tests.  I home test before traveling or getting together with family and friends; especially older friends.  This isn't for everyone.  It's just the way I am wired.  

LOL, never thought of it that way. We will do a home test, we have a bunch of the freebies provided. Would have to fly home after a -- test. Would not get on the ship. I was just relieved we did not have to find a place to do a PCR test in London prior.

We were so happy to find out they dropped testing for our 16day TA out of the UK. We are going to stay in London a week before the cruise and were concerned about possibly testing + and not being to get  on the ship, and all the havoc that would ensue trying to get home. A huge load off.

You can get some really good deals on EZair. Our upcoming flights for our T/A is as follows.

 Both non-stop business class flights. British Airways and Alaska

 SFO>LHR  then return FLL>SFO 

 For both flights, we paid $1800.00 each, so 2 people business class nonstop for around $3600.00 total. If you were to book the SFO>LHR flight now alone, it would be over $10,000 for both.

Do you have Cruise Protection?

Yes, we have the Platinum pkg.

 What is the current policy regarding testing positive prior to embarking? I assume we would lose EZAir but what is princess currently doing regarding the cruise fare? Are they converting to a future cruise credit funds?

Yes, they are supposed to get 5 pours from each bottle of wine.  We’re lucky when they make it 4.  Seriously though, if the wine is covered under the package, it really doesn’t much matter.  Not many people can drink 15 glasses of wine (or 3 bottles of wine) in a day. 

Challenge accepted!!

There have been several threads lately on this - just browse the list for a few pages

 

Thank you, I did find the thread with all the posted menus. That did pretty much answer my questions.

Can anyone provide a list or link to what is included spirits wise etc in the two packages? Other than one is up to $12.00 and the other $18.00

What spirits are above that $12.00 threshold?

99% you booked prior to the beverage package changes and introduction of new fare class - Premier (no extra "e" folks).  Because Princess had a pre-existing beverage package called Premier, they had to finally remove confusion by naming that drink package "Plus" in order to match up with the fare class "Plus".  There is a whole new beverage package called "Premier" which aligns with the Premier fare class. 

 

You booked before the name change and you are getting the same package as before.  It's been renamed to Plus.  You can read up on these on Princess.com.

 

This is how it was explained to us as well from our T/A just today after talking with Princess. Had exactly to do with adding the now Premier package which pumps the allowance up to $18.00.

 Next question, does anyone have a list or link to what brands of alcohol/wine are included/allowed in each level beverage pkg? Plus vs Premier

By the way, you can follow the accounts each day on the app to see the balances. 

That will be great, was used to getting the printout at the kiosk.

Yes you can track another person, if you set up the app correctly. 

But, even if you see where your other half is, can you get to the shop in time! 

I would likely be at Crooners, so likely in the general vicinity, oops, I meant my friend.

The onboard accounts are linked providing you link them with your credit card. You each will have charges and there will be a summary invoice that will net all credits and debits. So if your wife ends up with a net credit that will net against any debit balance you may have.

Now here is the wrinkle. When pre-booking excursions you can use OBC, but you can only use your OBC. You have to contact Princess to cross use for pre-booked excursions

Interesting, Thanks

Does the medallion allow a person to track another person? Would someone be able to tell if their wife was at a razzle dazzle or good smells shop and allow them to get there prior to needing a HELOC on their house?   

Asking for a friend.

You can use it for anything you like. Yes, Princess will tell you that some OBC can't be used in the Casino but I've never had a problem doing so. Basically, your OBC goes into a "pot" in your folio and anything you purchase comes out of that pot.

 

Pre-cruise you can use OBC to book excursions but that's the only thing you can use it for pre-cruise.

Great, thank you.

One more question. My wife has more OBC due to her getting the shareholder credit. Does it matter who does the transaction or does the OBC truly go into a pot for the cabin as a whole? 

We have a good amount of OBC on our 16 day T/A. 

Quick question, what can you NOT use OBC for on the ship? 

We just did a check up on our Nov cruise coming up on pay day. Somehow our Premier beverage package has changed to Plus bev pkg. I will expect it changed back prior to payment.

The Hyatt Regency would be a good option. 5 Embarcadero. Steps from the Ferry Building for shops and eats.

We will be cruising with you. 

 We have lots of time to get ready.

We booked a  South Pacific (Sydney-SF) a while ago, so some of them have been out for a while.
