Buying OBC ahead of time with princess

[0utpost]

Do you guys (gals) know if there is somewhere on the princess site I can go to to purchase On Board Credit ahead of time? I think it might be nice to take a chunk out of my large end of the Cruise bill. Thanks -Outpost

You can't do it online, but you can call their 800 number and give them your credit card number and the amount you want deposit to your on board account

Or you can fax over the gift form and request it that way. As much as you would like. Here is the link: http://www.princess.com/learn/onboard/services/gifts/onboard_credit/OnboardCredit.jsp

I have been purchasing OBC for quite sometime before our 3/12 cruise aboard the Grand using the gift form and faxing it in. It helps budget the vacation. When you walk onboard and realize you have such a large credit, it makes it that much more of a stress free vacation.

 

People budget in different ways, but I find sending in some money periodically is really helpful.

My daughter bought my husband a 'gift' for our cruise. When we went to our cabin, there was a card with the amount and a note from her on it. She just called the 800# and gave a cc #.

As a travel agent I went to the Princess agent site- one source cruises . com and I applied OBC to my booking with a credit card. If you booked through a TA you can have him/her do the same for you.
