muffydawg Posted June 22, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2007 DH and I booked our upcoming Crown trip using Future Cruise Credits. Due to the length of the voyage, Princess granted us $50 pp onboard credit. The TA we booked through ALSO offered (and we accepted) $50 pp shipboard credit. In total, I am expecting $200 in OBC to be applied to our folios. For those of you who've had a TA offer OBC, when did you see it applied to your ship folio? Day 1 or 2 of your cruise? At the end of the cruise? If the OBC from the TA wasn't applied to your folio, how did you handle it with the TA? Thanks a bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted June 22, 2007 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2007 All OBC's are always waiting for us and show up as soon as you board the ship. If you want to check before charging, just ask for a print out at the pursers desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolmama_1 Posted June 22, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Check your cruise personalizer at the Princess website. Ours showed up with our booking:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeraldtx Posted June 22, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Check your cruise personalizer at the Princess website. Ours showed up with our booking:) Where did you find that in the Personalizer? I'm checking on ours, and don't find where it would show up... help? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toto2Kansas Posted June 22, 2007 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2007 SBC supplied by your TA will not show up on the Princess Personalizer, only credits Princess supplies will show up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceS Posted June 22, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2007 TA's ship board credit usually means per cabin, not per person. The FCC is per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAWS Posted June 22, 2007 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Check your cruise personalizer at the Princess website. Ours showed up with our booking:) Ours isn't there. Our TA gave us $50 and we've put an additional $275 of our own on it and we haven't sailed yet. And when I asked Princess for a confirmation of our OBC they gave me a pdf version from "special services" and it only listed the $275 that we put on. Princess told me that the extra $50 shows up on their records and will be waiting for me. I've got my receipt from my TA stating that there's $50 OBC for us, so I'll be bringing that as well just to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzkitty Posted June 22, 2007 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Last year on the CB, we had a nice OBC from our TA. It shows up on your print-out of daily charges, which I always get a copy of at least twice during our sailings to check how much I'm spending!! :confused: Don't worry-it will be there and have a wonderful cruise experience!

Coolmama_1 Posted June 22, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Check your cruise personalizer at the Princess website. Ours showed up with our booking:) I stand corrected. I was looking at our credits from fcc. Sorry for the confusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willysgrandma Posted June 23, 2007 #12 Share Posted June 23, 2007 We do this for clients all the time and the credit is there when they get on the ship. It doesn't show up on the personalizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palolake Posted June 23, 2007 #13 Share Posted June 23, 2007 We called Princess the first time this happened and they were able to tell us the correct amount. It was different from what showed up on the Personalizer. Give that a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hill6 Posted June 23, 2007 #14 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Sign into your account Go to My Princess Click on Circle Savings Account on Left Side of Screen It shows the Credits there. I see the $100 for FCC and the $50 I got OBC for booking with Amex Platinum Travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjkTX Posted June 23, 2007 #15 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Our OBCs have never shown up on the Personalizer, whether from princess or a TA - but they were always there when we got to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the $100 for FCC and the $50 I got OBC for booking with Amex Platinum Travel. I assume credits don't show up until final payment? We haven't made final payment but we are supposed to get a $100 credit from Princess with the booking. The $100 OBC shows on the contract however. Not worried - just curious (I ALWAYS have my backup documentation with me!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Times Prince Posted June 24, 2007 #18 Share Posted June 24, 2007 SBC supplied by your TA will not show up on the Princess Personalizer, only credits Princess supplies will show up there.Our experience agrees with this. We've had many cruises with Princess FCC which has showed up properly every time. Unfortunately the TA's onboard credit never showed up onboard. After the cruise we told her and she sent us a check.

S.S.Oceanlover Posted June 24, 2007 #19 Share Posted June 24, 2007 can anybody explain to me what you get an FCC for? I booked with Princess and got $75 FCC. They just deducted igt from what my final total is. I asked before and got 1 reply but I'm still confused. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted June 24, 2007 #20 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Our TA just gave us $100 (two people) off the cost of the cruise instead of fooling with OBC. I guess some TA's think people will think they're getting more by starting the cruise with $100 on their account instead of paying less to begin with. I see a lot of questions about OBC and some problems getting it credited. Anyone else ever have it not credited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot of questions about OBC and some problems getting it credited. Anyone ever have it not credited? Most shipboard credit travel agents give is from having group space on the cruise. This doesn't come out of the travel agents pocket. Travel agents can still discount (like yours did) and this part does come out of the agents commission. So it is possible to find an agent who has group space and discounts at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palolake Posted June 24, 2007 #22 Share Posted June 24, 2007 OBCs are better. Let's say the cruise starts off at $1000 per person. Your TA gives you $100 off the price so you pay only $900. My TA gives me $100 OBC and I pay $1000. Three months later the price of the cruise goes down to $900 per person. That's all you payed so you get nothing. I paid $1000 so I'm going to get $100 back (or owe $100 less) plus I still have $100 OBC. Mine is a better deal. I have never had a problem with it not being credited. It just never shows up on the personalizer. I'd much rather get the OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked before and got 1 reply but I'm still confused. Bill Hi Bill, From what I understand the FCC is only available when you book a future cruise onboard. It's good for four years. Did you put down a deposit to book a future cruise on Princess in June of 2004 (looks like the last time you cruised Princess)? If so, your FCC would be applied to your next Princess cruise.

cruzzers Posted June 24, 2007 #24 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Our TA always sends us a cruise confirmation with the OBC listed on it before we even leave home. Then we check once onboard after a couple of days just to make sure the paperwork is consistant. We have never had any problems. Happy cruising to you!

Nope I didn't put down any deposits. Isn't the amount usually $100 when you book your future cruise or does it vary depending on the category you book? I got $75.00 FCC. At least that's what it said. Could you get FCC's for referrals? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
