rcs931 Posted July 6 #1 Share Posted July 6 We have a good bit of non-refundable OBC to use on our December cruise. Princess is currently running a sale on excursions. I know I can't use the OBC credit to book now, but can I book now via credit card and roll to OBC when we get on board? Does anyone know if it will roll at the sale price or current price? I was able to do this on Holland, I booked early because the excursion was sold out and my waitlist came through. Once onboard, I went to the excursion desk and they were able to refund/move to OBC without me giving up my place on the sold out excursion. But there was no price difference at that time.

canadarocks Posted July 6 #2 Share Posted July 6 Shore excursions are the one thing you CAN use OBC on pre-cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcs931 Posted July 6 Author #3 Share Posted July 6 This is good news. Holland didn't let us use OBC in advance of actually being on board. I'm going to try it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s is definitely an option when you go to pay. Just used some yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted July 6 #5 Share Posted July 6 In fact (unless they have changed the system...) it will default to using your OBC as payment *first* and then go into the credit card request. Lo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcs931 Posted July 6 Author #6 Share Posted July 6 Reporting back, this worked. It did apply OBC before asking for any other method of paying. This is great, and definitely different from other lines we've cruised. Fist thing technology wise I can say that I like Princess better! Thanks for the prompt responses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink845 Posted July 9 #8 Share Posted July 9 Remember though that should you cancel your shore excursion on the cruise because of illness or any other reason that money will sit on your cabin as obc again while on the cruise. Paying with credit card it would go back to your card. We had a fare amount of on board credit and we simply redeemed it for cash at the casino. On last cruise, I was hard pressed to find anything nice to buy with my 600usd of obc. They have made all the Princess merchandise generic nothing specific to individual ships anymore. Sad.
