Elite Discount On Excursions - How Does It Work?

[Thrak]

When one uses OBC to book excursions on the Princess web site there doesn't seem to be any indication of the 10% discount for Elite cruisers. How does that discount work? When is it applied?

Last month on the Grand Princess, it showed up as a credit on our shipboard account. I was also unable to determine a way to get the credit when booking the excursion online. No worries though, as it was there when we boarded.

I've always seen it once on board.

So it shows up as OBC once onboard. I appreciate the info. I was wondering if that's how it worked but couldn't find any information about the discount. I guess I should have known Princess would find a way to get it back. 🤪

 

Thanks.

Sorry to hijack this thread. I just became Elite. We booked cruise excursions. My husband is not Elite. Do they give 10 percent of just my part?

Good question. I'm not sure but I would expect that, since you are making two bookings for the excursions, only the one made by the Elite passenger would be eligible for the discount.

10% is returned as "refundable" onboard credit.  I was shocked to see that on my folio.  (Also port fee adjustment and OBC from TA were considered refundable.)

After every shore excursion, 10% was refunded to my onboard account.  You have to actually go one the excursion before you get the refund.  They did not do it for the debark tour though.

Interested to know how Princess refunds when I purchased excursions for Elite and non Elite at the same time?

They won’t know who the second ticket is for. If you have two different loyalty levels cruising together, the Elite should order the excursions to get the discount. Of course, you’ll still have to settle the on board with each other if you are trying to keep charges separate.
