Do that for non refundable, too. Don't be too quick!! You are supposed to play at least a little before you cash out. Maybe, put it all in, play a little, leave. Come back the next day, play a little, leave or cash out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KLM3164 Posted February 13, 2022 #29 Share Posted February 13, 2022 If you enjoy flowers you can purchase a flower arrangement for your cabin when you board the ship. I got this idea from someone else on CC and I’m planning to do this on our next cruise. I was told you can purchase the flowers at the Guest Services desk and they have different arrangements to choose from. We also like to use our OBC to purchase shore excursions before we sail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nini Posted February 15, 2022 #33 Share Posted February 15, 2022 @WAvoyager and fellow Washingtonian- Thank you for starting this thread. We also will have a nice sum of OBC for our May cruise. Does anyone know how to use the OBC for shore excursions before boarding? I would love to know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go into the Cruise Personalizer and select the excursions you want. When paying, you can apply the onboard credit that is in your name. If you want to use the OBC that two people have, book some of the excursions under each person's Personalizer sign-in. Or call Princess and book with a rep and tell the repo you want to use the OBC.

Can I call Princess directly, even though we have a TA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a TA booking, Princess will not deal with anything involving the cruise fare and associated fees or cabin changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will post the outcome when I decide that we will be booking a certain shore excursion through them. (usually go private, with a few exceptions).

CruzDayz Posted February 16, 2022 #43 Share Posted February 16, 2022 The Majestic also has a sports book. I lost $55 on the Rams😩 and won $62.50 on the Clippers plus 13.5 points last night. I quit, I only have to win a little to be happy. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't Onboard Account different than Onboard Credits? I'm the "old" days before Princess Plus, we would charge purchases to our cabin (On board account). On the other hand, our NOV is money already there waiting to be spent. Thoughts and explanations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
