beannie Posted March 20, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2014 What happens if you have not used all your obc? Does it disappear or do they send you a check or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrack Springfield Posted March 20, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I understand some people have been getting cash refunds. You can always go to the casino and cash it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24639 Posted March 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I have been paid to leave the ship. LOL Usually you get it back in cash. I am sure there are some circumstances where it is non refundable, but I have never experienced that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted March 20, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 20, 2014 As of last Fall, all OBC is refundable. You can get it in cash at the PSD the morning of disembarkation or they'll send you a check. No need to go to the Casino. Princess allows OBC to be combined, unlike other cruise lines, so it can be relatively easy to rack up a substantial OBC. In September, between my TA's OBC, FCC OBC, stockholder OBC and loyalty OBC, I'll have close to $600 in OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IECalCruiser Posted March 20, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) We had a large amount of OBC on our last cruise. A Princess tour was canceled and we ended up with an excess of about $250. We stopped at the Passenger Services desk on the last full day and was offered cash or a credit card refund. I took the cash :) Until this cruise I always thought that leftover OBC was an oxymoron ;) Sent from my iPhone using Cruise Critic Forums mobile app Edited March 20, 2014 by IECalCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NauticalOne Posted March 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I have a funny story about this. My wife and I recently did a one day/overnight Seattle to Vancouver cruise with the kids just for a little family get-a-way (and to get another credit). Our boys were 13 and 4 at the time and we all had a good time. The morning of disembark it was a little crazy at the gangway trying to keep everyone together in the crowds as we were getting off. My wife was in the front and I was in the back of our little group and when they got to me and scanned my card, you would have thought I was a criminal. They stopped me (wife and kids still going with the crowd having a grand ol' time) and told me I had to go to the PS desk. I asked what was wrong and the crewmember told me they will tell you at the desk (wife and kids still unaware I was stopped and still going with the crowd). I yelled to my older boy to tell "mom" that I would be out in a minute and to wait in the building. I quickly proceeded to the PS desk sure I was going to be placed in handcuffs in the "foreign" land for some unknown crime. Next thing I know...they handed me $43.00 in cash (OBC) that I did not know I had (military benefit). I had to fight with myself a little bit when I caught up with the family not to make up some great story about why I was stopped. -Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
