travellingnana Posted November 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Does Princess take gratuities etc., out of non-refundable OBC first? If so, and one has military credit, will it really be refunded to you? Do you receive a check after the cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted November 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Princess will take expenses on your folio first from non-refundable OBC and then refundable OBC to settle your account. If you have any refundable OBC left after balancing out your account, it will be refunded to you by check later in a somewhat non-descriptive white envelope. It has to be for more than $25 I believe. I seem to always spend mine and end up with the balance being charged to my credit card. 🙄 Edited November 2, 2019 by satxdiver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted November 2, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Anything that is charged to your account goes against non refundable OBC first. If you have refundable OBC over $25 you will receive a check in the mail. Small amounts may be cashed out on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it will come out of non-refundable first and yes the military will be refunded to you (mine/my wife's have been received anywhere from 3 to 8 weeks after the cruise.) I suspect that the time till you get it depends on workload at the 3rd party that handles it for Princess. We've gotten checks for anywhere from $20 or so up to $499. (We've been really lucky on getting some cruises with fantastic amounts of OBC on occasion!) Oh, the company who handles the refunds for Princess is Bottomline Technologies.

travellingnana Posted November 2, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thank you all for your answers. We have more OBC than we can use on an upcoming cruise, and I'm just looking at options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denmarks Posted November 2, 2019 #6 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Technically there is a single total to start. At the end of the cruise you will receive a refund up to the total of the refundable credit. Unless they have changed it there is a "nr" next to non refundable credit on your statement. There is nothing on the statement telling you which pool of money an expense comes from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
