SmilesYourWay Posted April 17, 2019 #8 Share Posted April 17, 2019 How does the 3 for free work? You pay for 1 and 3 are free? What if 3 people are traveling, how many would be free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past: Free cabin upgrade within the same category, ie. interior to interior, balcony to balcony Free Gratuitie/pp for up to 4 in a cabin. Does not include beverage gratuities Free OBC/pp based on the length of the cruise for up to 4 in a cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what we have for a 15 day Hawaii cruise in October - it ended up being better than the sip and sail deal we originally had since the price came down and we got $200 OBC each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted May 2, 2019 #13 Share Posted May 2, 2019 could someone please explain to me how to use our 3 for free OBC to purchase a soda package and internet package? I want to purchase prior to our sailing, but I am asked to provide a credit card for payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jwattle Posted May 2, 2019 #14 Share Posted May 2, 2019 For OBC, you can only purchase excursions. You would have to get the other things once onboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've never had this much OBC before ($300), so we've never considered buying a package of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denmarks Posted May 6, 2019 #16 Share Posted May 6, 2019 May 1 - June 4 Up to $500 onboard to spend and free gratuities. 2 for 1 deposits. Onboard credit, when you include gratuities, is a little better than the past sale but there is no cabin upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted May 6, 2019 #17 Share Posted May 6, 2019 I have another question about this OBC: is it refundable, balance transferable to the next cruise, or use it or lose it? We got $300 OBC and my parents got $200, and we don't usually even spend this much, even if I get a $60 internet and a $70 soda package for 1. My parents don't drink soda and don't need internet.

cruisinggran Posted May 6, 2019 #18 Share Posted May 6, 2019 We tried to get this sale put on our booking but were told it is only for new bookings. Our T/A says we can cancel and rebook but can not guarantee we will keep our cabin.(as per Princess). When I check to see what cabins are available every delux cat has guarantee only. Our cruise is not until Aug 2020. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must use it. The only refundable amounts are the military, prepaid, and travel agent gifts. Don't forget that there are gratuities that will take a big hunk out of the credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, the $100 pp OBC would totally offset the $94 pp gratuities, but I have never been able to apply OBC to gratuities before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may not apply to you but I have never had a problem with OBC going to gratuities. It is all on the same statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never prepay gratuities, and our OBC has never exceeded $100 total anyway (mostly $25-50 total), so we always used it up for misc (drinks, gelato, excursions). But I do remember disclaimers that the particular OBC we got was not applicable to gratuities. But it was not through Princess, that's why I have questions about it. This is the first time I got the 3 for free deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe use it for a spa treatment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
