land lover Posted June 5, 2018 #26 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I did not book any cruise on the promotion so...I won't have any to spend:loudcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land lover Posted June 5, 2018 #27 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) You don't. OBC can't be used in casino. Since when...I was on the Ruby 2 weeks ago....? If you charge casino play to your cabin, it's covered with OBC....nice thing about Princess they do not charge a % when you charge to your cabin like some other CLs do. Cash out at the casino...go to a machine, put cruise card in the slot, set up a password, have an amount charged to your cabin, then cash it out....receive a voucher take it to the cage get your money....

Micahs Grandad Posted June 5, 2018 #28 Share Posted June 5, 2018 You don't. OBC can't be used in casino. Yes it can. Go to roulette table and ask for some amount of chips on your card and sit down and play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have to put some play on your card or face the stern disapproval of the casino manager. To quote one, "This isn't an ATM." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted June 5, 2018 #30 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I still don't consider it "play money" either way. It's cold hard cash since it comes out of my pocket. Maybe. I booked a South Seas cruise when there was a nice chunky OBC offered (and prepaid grats). The current sale price is almost precisely what we paid, but there's no OBC or gratuities. So in this case, I get to look at that 1000 buck difference as found money, since I booked at the right time. Had I booked today, those gratuities would indeed be coming out of my pocket. But then, I'm quite content not to stare at a gift horse's teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver2014 Posted June 6, 2018 #31 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Grats, shore excursions, drinks, spa......oops, OBC all gone. Next summer on British Isles cruise, the challenge shall be to see how fast we go through our OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deliver42 Posted June 10, 2018 #38 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I already used some of it for excursions. My wife will use some for the salon. The rest will be on drinks, and maybe a specialty restaurant. I would normally get the drink package, but on our last Princess cruise, the drinks were very reasonable, so I skipped that.

paradiselivin1 Posted June 11, 2018 #39 Share Posted June 11, 2018 First cover the gratuities and then pay for ship excursions. The new OBC from the landmark sale are nice. Same. It will be interesting with only a few ports on our TA to FLL but will sure it will be gone. We had so much OBC after using a FCD that we rolled that to another cruise. We still have about $1,310 in OBC. That should work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
