Left over money

[Brisbanelionsfan]

I'm sending some money to my on board account. In the unlikely event that some is left over can I cash it out?

 

Thanks :D

Yes

Yes. OBC you've sent to yourself is 100% refundable. Just go to the Passenger Services Desk the night before disembarkation and ask for a refund in cash. The alternative is they'll send you a check weeks later and if it's not the right amount, it'll be a hassle to correct.

Great news is yes and the casino can help out as well.:D

I did say in the unlikely event. ;)

It probably won't happen, but just to be safe I can now send a bit more money :)

Double your money and halve your luggage.:D

The more cruises I go on, the more I think you are right:D

Or leave wifey at home take 10% of the money and a third he clothes (and still have more clothes than I normally get). more money too for that matter.

Don't bother with all that trouble. Just give it to me.....:cool:

Definitely, it is an old saying but it rings true. The more I travel the less clothes I take and the more money I need.

Wouldn't be much of a holiday without wifey now would it.;)

Get in line.:p

[crochetcruise]

I'm going to take the transport and additional souvenir funds that I need after disembarkation in the form of Casino Credits, and cash the vouchers by lunchtime Sunday. My former work colleague S. is also staying overnight at the same hotel, and the tables will be turned. HE will have the window room this time, and I'll be in a Superior Double equipped for Handicap Accessibility, so I'LL be the one invited to come visiting!

 

We'll share the taxi out to Tullamarine Airport on the Tuesday morning-I have Access Cab vouchers which give me a 50% discount on the metered fare up to $40 value, anything over that I pay in full. Knowing S., he'll probably treat me to morning tea before I board my flight to return home, he has an early afternoon flight home.

Don't understand the benefit of sending yourself OBC?

[cb at sea]

Of course you can get your cash back...it's YOUR cash!!! I would simply save my cash and bring it with me, tho!

[cruisestitch]

Sometimes there is a pretty favorable exchange rate for non US cruisers, so they send themselves OBC

I had the money sent to my OBA because I'm from Australia and our exchange rate from Au dollars to US is very poor at around 78 cents to one US dollar. Princess are giving 90 cents so it makes a lot of sense to send myself the money.

 

Cheers. :D

I personally don't like to carry large sums of cash with me. Much better to cash it out in the casino using the vouchers. IMO

Correct, it also saves carrying wads of cash with you or having your sea board account going through the roof.:D

Yes, although the rate has dropped for next years cruises to $0.80 USD.:(

Maybe you should go on a nudist cruise then. Wouldn't even need any clothes so you could travel with only a backpack. Would just have to be very careful while eating soup at dinner of course! :eek:

I plan on buying OBC, as well. We just like everything pre-paid. However, I now have the Princess Visa and I understand that buying Casino Cash doesn't qualify for double points, but it doesn't say that I can't buy OBC with it for double points (unless I missed it, and will be quickly corrected). If so, it will be the same as what cardholders do by cashing in their points after their cruise to maximize the credits.

 

Not sure if my logic is correct. If not, fire away....
