OBC and Alaska Cruisetours

[pklein9747]

This is our first cruise tour with Princess...land first, then cruise. We have several land excursions booked with Princess (Golf at Denali and a wagon ride at Mt. McKinley). Do the costs for these get added onto our final bill on the ship? And can we use OBC to pay for them? We have quite a bit of OBC we can purchase from our Princess credit card, but don't want to do that if we can't use it for land excursions.

The optional excursions on the land tour must be paid in full a few days before the the land tour.

 

Thus, the ship's OBC will not be available for this purpose.

 

You probably either entered in a credit card number when you reserved these excursions or said to use the same credit card that you have indicated for use on the cruise part.

 

From the "Alaska Cruise Answer Book" which can be downloaded from the Princess web site:

 

"A credit card must be entered for each passenger who wishes to participate in a land excursion....An auto-charge of all pre-reserved excursions will take place two days prior to your first Land Excursion booking"
