WallyNDiane Posted February 19, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2020 We were on the Norovirus shortened 2/02 Caribbean Princess cruise. We were credited approximately $70 for port fees of the 5 missed ports. That credit showed as a refundable on board credit on our statement. Do I need to do anything to get that money or will Princess automatically process it? Will we get a check or a credit on our credit card? Thanks all.

Our experiences have been when a refund is over $25 they send a check within 4 weeks sent from Bottomline which could appear to be junk mail. For less than $25 we’re suppose to get it from the PSD onboard but for the coronavirus related refunds under $25 they might mail refund checks.

JF - retired RRT Posted February 19, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2020 You don't need to do anything. You'll get a check from "Bottomline Technologies" as Astro just stated. Usually arrives in 2-4 weeks. We just left a cruise on 1/20 and got our check yesterday (2/18). It used to look like junk mail, but the newer envelope they've been using is easy to spot.

cjpj Posted February 19, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Great. I left the Diamond on the 20th and had a big credit. Been waiting. Was told it would go to the credit card on file. If it's a cheque, I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coo359a2 Posted February 20, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I've usually get the refund check about 3 weeks from end of cruise. This last time it wasn't even close. Cruise ended on 5 Jan, check processed on 5 Feb and received it on 18 Feb. I did call Princess to see if their was a problem. That's when I found out the check was processed on 5 Feb.

Others, who live in countries outside US, have posted about receiving the refund in check form. At least one stated he had a terrible time trying to get the check cashed. Can't remember which country it was, but apparently "checks" are not common, everything is electronic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted February 20, 2020 #10 Share Posted February 20, 2020 If you don't get a check within 6 weeks call them. One time we had a big refund coming and when it didn't come we called. They said well what about this big charge at the end of the cruise? We said what are you talking about and they gave us the name of the person who charged something. It wasn't us! Somehow it got posted to our account. They straightened it out and sent us a check ASAP. Be sure to keep your final statement. We got off the Coral on 1/21 and got our check earlier this week for our unused refundable OBC. Took the full 4 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchased OBC, Military OBC, gifted OBC are all refundable. OBC from Princess -FCD OBC, Promotional OBC, etc. is non-refundable. The non-refundable OBC is clearly shown as non-refundable in your personalizer. Edited February 29, 2020 by Thrak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voljeep Posted February 29, 2020 #14 Share Posted February 29, 2020 and just to add … the non-refundable credits are applied first by Princess to charges to your account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
