$240 onboard coupons or $75 onboard credit?

[ahoughton]

In looking for a Princess cruise I see offers for $240.00 onboard coupon or $75.00 onboard credit. Some offer both but some are either or. Has anyone received the coupons, if so what is offered? If it is % off on things we wouldn't use, I'm thinking we would be better off with the OBC.

 

Thanks for any input.

The coupons are mostly buy one, get one free things. Never have used a one of them when offered the coupon book. Take the shipboard credit, it is much easier to use and get full use of. Enjoy!

Absolutely positively........$75 OBC. The coupons are basically worthless.

Actually, the book, when used as a coaster, gets saturated with moisture, and then the ink tends to run!

 

Take the OBC.

Another vote for OBC.

Disagree. Too narrow. Beer can tips too easily.

[ahoughton]

I guess I found out what I knew. $75 is always worth more than $240. We have nice coasters but I use folded paper towels. Thanks to everyone for the info.

I would take the OBC.

[alicam]

I would take the OBC as well...better a sure thing than always wondering what will be in the coupon book until I get on board

[DrivesLikeMario]

Me too. You have to spend quite a lot to get that $240 worth of freebies.

Another vote for the OBC!! Laugh all the way to the Purser's Desk.:eek:

[alicam]

I would take the OBC as well...better to know what you have for sure than sit and wonder what is in the coupon book that you might use

[DanJ]

We probably got $20 or so value out of the book. $5 off internet, a $5 chip in the casino, and a free picture from the photo lab (after we bought a bunch of other pics of course). As others have said, there are a lot of coupons requiring a bunch of spending to get something. If you knew you planned on spending a bunch at the spa, art auction, scholarship at sea and onboard jewelry, you might get some use out of the book. I would have gladly sold my book to anyone for less than $75 LOL.

As the saying goes, "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush". :)

 

I'll take the $75 OBC any day, hands down!

[Lynda90]

The coupon book is one of the most worthless gifts I've ever received. Not one coupon in it that appealed to me.

I'm with you on that one - take the OBC and enjoy it.
