Gift cards for drink package

[carlp]

I have several Princess gift cards and want to use to purchase drink package

when I go to my reservation to purchase I don’t see any information on using gift cards. Just credit card information. Can you use gift card for purchase online or do I need to call princess

If you don't find a work around,  you can always take them to guest services and have them add to your account and then buy on the ship.

If you booked through a TA/CVP, then I would ask them.  I’ve never heard of adding a beverage package with the GC’s pre cruise.

 

 You can use them to purchase your cruise or your final payment.  

 

You can turn them into OBC ahead of time, although I wouldn’t suggest it, if you have to call in to do it.  Been there, done that.  Your TA/CVP can add them to your OBC, or at least most of them.  
However, if you add them as OBC pre cruise, you still can’t buy the package until you are OB!

 

So, I would suggest, take them to GS when you board, add them to your folio, THEN buy the beverage package OB with GS, on the App, or with any of the crew selling the package.  You will also save the insurance amount you would have paid pre cruise.

 

Only drawback, is if your cruise is way out 24/25…the beverage packages may increase by then.  IDK

I called my TA had them add on the package to my booking through Princess. Then 5 minutes later she made payment with my gift cards.

Good to know. Thanks.

I often use gift cards to pay for Bev pkg but yes, you must call Princess and have them do it or have your TA do it with Princess. I wish they would add an option for paying with giftcard.
