Elite OBC

[papacito]

Do they still give OBC for 20+ sailings?

[floridalover5623]

Yes they do. It begins after you have completed the cruises shown below.

Loyalty Credit- Per Cabin

$25 for 20–30 cruise credits

$50 for 31–40 cruise credits

$75 for 41–50 cruise credits

$100 for 51+ cruise credits

[paul929207]

Yes, but the awards are based on cruise credits, not cruises. For many these are the same, but you also get an extra every time you sail solo and another for sailing in a full suite.

[skynight]

Slight correction

Loyalty Credit- Per Cabin

$25 for 20–31 cruise credits

$50 for 32–41 cruise credits

$75 for 42–51 cruise credits

$100 for 52+ cruise credits

 

There are 11 cruise credits at $25, and the next 3 steps are 10 cruise credits until you reach the 52nd cruise.

Pity it doesn't run off days as well like loyalty level, doubt I'll ever get 21+ cruises, but already elite.

[Zooguy]

My next cruise later this month is our 32nd moving us into the $50 level.

Yea!

We have our 20 credits and our next cruise in January will be our 21st.

 

I am wondering when our $25 is shown. Is it on our account when we board or are we supposed to have it added into our OBC before we cruise as I haven't seen any sign of it as yet.

I have the same question as I have 21 Loyalty credits. Do we ask the Captain's Circle Host/ Do we bring our credits history with us? Thanks to those in the know. This is the first I have heard of this benefit. Barbara

You won't see it until you board. Usually, you'll get a little printed card explaining that you're getting it applied to your OB account.

 

It's really not hard to get 21 credits anymore. If you travel solo, in a suite or on a longer cruise, you get more credits. (Unfortunately, that's not retroactive to the days when we sailed in suites as the norm!) It can add up very quickly though if you do a lot of short cruises. I met one couple who were each in separate inside cabins on many B2B cruises to get their cruise credits faster. It was much cheaper for them to have 2 inside cabins vs. 1 suite and they still got double the points. ;)

There will be a card in your cabin listing the credit and it will show on your on board account. You won't see anything about it before you board.

 

I just saw that Mario beat me to the punch.

Thanks for everyone answering so promptly.

 

We have earned our credits by doing long cruises so it has taken us quite a time to get the required credits. I also know of one or two couples who do weekend cruises of 3 days to get their credits up! We don't consider the reward is enough to justify paying outv for air fares to join a ship in another city.

[Belle]

They mark it only a week before you cruise as I was told.

As others said there will be a card in your room saying you

have the $25 and will be on your account.

Your TA will be able to see it before you cruise. Just ask them to tell you that it is on there. Ours does.

We don't use a TA as we deal directly with Princess . I did ask one of the Reps awhile ago, and she didn't have a clue as to what I was talking about.

 

Do you each get $25 as we have 21 credits each, or is it one $25 per cabin?

 

Jennie

[cheeseclan]

It is just one per cabin.

[Aussie Gal]

It is just one per cabin.

 

Thanks. I suppose it will buy us a drink each! :)

Hey Jennie & Peter,

The Loyalty OBC does NOT show anywhere online. When you board the ship there will be a card announcing the OBC waiting in your cabin.

Hi Paul,

Great to hear from youl. Thanks for the info.

Our love to you and Jeannie. Would love to cruise with you both again.

We had our 21st cruise on the second leg of a b2b last year and didn't receive the $25 credit. I didn't think about it until we got home. If we don't receive the card in our stateroom, who do we see onboard the ship?

I'd guess the captains circle host.

Thank you for your response. This benefit, previously unknown since I don't sail on Princess as often as I used to, is a lovely surprise. Barbara

[Elitein85days]

if you have different surnames its per person if you have the same credits

 

Can anyone confirm this has actually been the case?
