gremlinbangles Posted October 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Do prepaid gratuities appear anywhere on the personalizer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtwo Posted October 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 3, 2014 We have two upcoming sailings and we have prepaid the gratuities for both, neither show on the Cruise Personalizer, however Princess did email conformations for both. We'll print the conformations and take them along with our other Cruise / Boarding documents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gremlinbangles Posted October 3, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I will call them tomorrow as I didn't get an email confirmation. It shows the change in obc though and you are right we usually do get a confirmation when there is a change...thanks for reminding me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzyed Posted October 3, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Mine do not show on my Personalizer....but I do have a receipt for the payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrak Posted October 3, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 3, 2014 No pre-paid OBC shows on the personalizer. You can gift yourself OBC or someone else can gift it to you and it won't show up on the personalizer. A Princess rep can see it in a different area and can confirm it for you if you call.

janecambridge Posted October 3, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 3, 2014 How will you know that the gratuities are being paid to the staff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted October 3, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 3, 2014 As has been posted on other threads, even though there is a gift listing for pre-paying your gratuities, you really aren't. You are merely paying yourself an advance credit to your onboard folio equal to the amount the gratuities for that cruise. So for a ten-day cruise, you begin with a credit of $115 (approx) plus whatever amount of other OBCs you happen to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billco Posted October 3, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 3, 2014 As part of last Summer's Bucket Sale, Princess is paying the gratuities (hotel charge) on my cruise next Spring. It doesn't show on the personalizer, but does on the voucher I received from my TA. I understand it will show on my folio each day as a hotel charge followed by a credit.

marinerslvr Posted October 3, 2014 #12 Share Posted October 3, 2014 That deal is limited to certain cruises which is unfortunate - we tried for that but no prepaids. Did find some great room credits though which essentially covers the gratuities. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can gift yourself OBC or someone else can gift it to you and it won't show up on the personalizer. A Princess rep can see it in a different area and can confirm it for you if you call. I tried emailing and calling. Sent email Thursday and follow up with phone call yesterday afternoon. So far no response. I always prefer ed just making my own booking and calling who ever answered the phone because I got an immediate response. Unfortunately this time a family member got a princess vacation planner involved because there was a group going. So I have to speak to a specific person. She doesn't wort sat or sun so now I wait. I think it's been changed because I can see the obc change. But I feel I should get a receipt or something acknowledging the Chang and confirming free gratuities...sigh.

hawkeyetlse Posted October 4, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 4, 2014 How will you know that the gratuities are being paid to the staff?If it shows up on the passenger's account as the hotel charge each day I am confident that the amount is paid into the employees' tip pool. But I wonder what happens if you ask for the hotel charge to be adjusted, up or down… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pier Pressure 53 Posted October 5, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 5, 2014 There's a sale like that going on right now. Hi. Is the sale for all future Princess cruises, and is thru Princess.com or thru a Travel Agent? I ask because on Princess.com I only see sales listed for select cruises.....weekly sales.
