sabrefan Posted August 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2023 I have a cruise coming up in 2.5 weeks. My wife and I both have $50 on board credit each. I assume this shows up on the medallion and I am wondering if this on board credit could be used in the casino? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

memoak Posted August 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2023 OBC will show up in your folio. It will be subtracted from any charges you may have 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian It won’t show as free play on your medallion but if you spend $50 on slots if will be negated by the credit. What you can’t do is go to the cashier and ask for cash 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted August 5, 2023 #6 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Yep! Just charge your bank to your room account and OBC will be used. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe post 3 is thinking about P&O with the response. My experience is that on Princess OBC is posted as a credit to your on board accounts. Casino expense can be charged to your on board accounts and will net against any credit or debit balance. So yes, in response to the OP's question if you have a credit balance then a casino gambling expense will net against it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&O does thing differently than Princess on occasion. Possibly they might not allow anyone to use OBC in the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMGS247 Posted August 9, 2023 #16 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) I always hear talk of them evolving the OBC system to differentiate Casino charges and not let them net against OBC but as far as I've seen they've not yet figured out how to do this so yeah, the way the accounting works with your OBC the Casino is the same as buying a t-shirt in the gift shop. As for using the Casino as an ATM I'm really not sure why anyone cares. I guess it's slightly bad form if you just walk in, load up $200 to your account and immediately cash out? I guess? I'm over this as soon as I notice it. Edited August 9, 2023 by PMGS247 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other cruise lines I’ve sailed won’t let you or charge a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m certain they have “figured out how to do this” but have yet to implement the change. Pax using the casino as an ATM are sure to hasten implementation of this change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was really tongue in cheek because I really doubt they would be inclined to do that. Maybe we could figure out a way to deem it political or Covid-related. Then the posts would be quashed in a minute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket Posted August 10, 2023 #25 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I book cruises through the casino along with that is a $200 non refundable deposit that I can spend in the casino if I wish. Same with the share holder benefit. When you use the charge to room option on the slot machine it pulls from OBC, I do this every cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
