Cruzin Grandma Posted August 20, 2019 #1 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I will probably have to get a definite answer once on board but I thought I’d ask here for your thoughts. We have 4 specialty dining “credits”. Do you think they will allow us to trade for one Ultimate Balcony Dining package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weedpindle Posted August 20, 2019 #2 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Best bet is to ask when onboard. Answers here will be all over the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure it would have to be dollar for dollar exchange,but best to call Princess and or wait til you get onboard. Balcony dinner is $100./ for 2 people. Balcony Breakfast is $45. For 2 people. I believe specialty dining is $29./ person. Doesn’t hurt to ask if its possible to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted August 20, 2019 #4 Share Posted August 20, 2019 We have received a $45 credit back on our onboard account for a TA supplied balcony breakfast that we did not want. We did that through room service. Just start by calling them once onboard and they can advise you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted August 20, 2019 #5 Share Posted August 20, 2019 You definitely will have to wait until you are on board. The answer may vary depending on the ship and staff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polmcs Posted August 21, 2019 #6 Share Posted August 21, 2019 It all depends. We too got a balcony breakfast as part of a suite upsell. As we would prefer to have breakfast at Sabatini’s, we had no need of the suite breakfast, so when DINE called to ask what day we wanted breakfast, we said that we didn’t really need it. They said that they would send someone along to pick up the voucher and we would receive a $45 cabin credit that would appear within 24 hrs. When the credit didn’t appear on our folio within that time frame, I went to the passenger service desk. They informed me that as it was given to us “free” (even though we had to pay for the upgrade), no cabin credit would be forthcoming. I asked them to deliver the half bottle of champagne that was part of the breakfast instead then. It showed up about 30 mins later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyVeteran Posted August 21, 2019 #7 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I believe it depends primarily on the source of the specialty dining credit, but it is not consistent from ship to ship. I have received nonrefundable OBC in some cases but not in others. Calling Princess in advance would be absolutely worthless - they may give you an answer but it won't mean anything on the ship. When I have received a refund in OBC, I've always done it by taking the voucher to Passenger Services and asking there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
