get drink package with OBC? or Rewards points?

[wildflowersnhoney]

Hi

 

I have On Board Credit already for my cruise in October. I also have points available from the Princess Credit Card Rewards.

 

Can either of these be redeemed for the Unlimited Bar package? Or can I use them for the gratuities for the cabin?

 

Also- I cannot remember if the $56.30 per day on the bar package takes care of the tax/tip on the drink.

 

Thank you and Bon Voyage!

Heck yeah I will!

 

fancy coffee in the morning, couple bottles of water (Perrier or Pelegrino) my favorite triple citrus margaritas, glass of wine with dinner....and maybe a soda or two. Probably will save $100 a day at least. LOL.

As mentioned you can use your OBC for anything you want including the drink card... As for cashing in your Princess Visa points, I haven't seen an option to use them directly for the drink card on the credit card rewards site but it would be as simple as cashing the points in for OBC and then purchasing the card once onboard.

 

Enjoy your cruise.

The only thing that I can think of that OBC can't be used for is FCC.

That's what I keep trying to tell people, when you add a couple of coffees and a bottle of water or two, it doesn't take much to break even on the AIBP.

Yes, price includes gratuity

OBC can be used for anything that is charged to your on board account. So if you purchase an AIBP before the cruise and pay for it when you buy it, you will not be able to use OBC to pay for it. On the other hand, if you purchase it on the ship and it is charged to your cabin account, then OBC will pay for it.

OBC is just a credit to your on board account, and is netted against all on board purchases and the auto tip. The exceptions are the purchase of future cruise deposits which are charged directly to your credit card and casino if you choose to use cash. You can't specifically designate where to apply OBC.
