millacon Posted February 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2023 My daughter will be traveling as a solo and so will I (long story) in different staterooms but have linked our accounts on the app (at least she is showing up on mine). My question is can I use OBC or another way to pay for things for both of us like excursions, spa, etc. ? Would I have to do it on board or can I send her money so she can add to her account? This is our first Princess cruise. If onboard, would I be able to use some of my OBC to pay for her tips or drinks? I have the drink package but if she wants a drink (and I don't want to lose my package by buying one for her) will they allow me to purchase a drink for her? And do you know if Princess would allow her to have a medallion for access to my room if I want her to come in as she pleases (to wait for me and such)?

katisdale Posted February 17, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 17, 2023 What we do is put our credit card on the medallion app for our and our daughter's cabin. This works but then everything is on our card which may not be what you wish to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike45LC Posted February 17, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2023 When my brother and his wife cruised with us, at the first lunch, I ordered Soda and More for all four of us. Princess would not let me charge their soda package to my cabin/account. So I just handed him cash. We did not have a large amount of OBC to use up at that time.

Rare Shelly97060 Posted February 17, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 17, 2023 You can go to Passenger Services and they can program your medallions to open each others cabins. also, as @katisdale said you can have everything settled to your credit card. If you don’t want everything charged to your credit card she can register her own card to her shipboard account and you can visit passenger services and make a payment of whatever amount you choose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justafem Posted February 17, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 17, 2023 On one of our cruises, we took a friend with us to specialty dining. When we booked the dining, we told them that we wanted to pay the cover charge for everyone. We were charged for her dinner. I also took another friend to the spa and told them I would be paying for both. Charged correctly. I have no experience with paying for another rooms excursion(s), but hopefully it works the same as it did for specialty and spa. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
