belmontcrew Posted March 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2022 We have an onboard credit for our upcoming sailing. We wanted to use that for a couple of Specialty dinner reservations. However, making a reservation in the Medallion app will charge our credit card. Is my only option to make a reservation once we board? Thanks for any help.

Moondogy Posted March 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 25, 2022 There have been a lot of post on this subject. Is the credit for SD, or is it just the regular OBC? If it's SD credit, then you may be able to book it and see it kind of charge it but then zero it out. If it's OBC then you'd have to wait till on the ship. If it is SD credit and it doesn't zero it out, then from what I've read is Princess says you can book it online, pay, and get OBC back when you get onboard. You can read plenty of complaints on here about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belmontcrew Posted March 25, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted March 25, 2022 We received the OBC when we booked an excursion and found a lower commercial price…thus we received the difference plus 10% as the OBC. I don’t think it even shows till we board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007colocruz Posted March 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted March 25, 2022 In my experience OBC pre cruise can only be used to pre book excursions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moondogy Posted March 26, 2022 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2022 As @007colocruz said, the only thing so far that we've seen able to use OBC per cruise is excursions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBC is for anything when onboard- this is how the rep described it to me. It is very frustrating because we PAID for this special dinner and Princess has it as a TA gift. NOT! However, I was able to book shore excursions with it, go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belmontcrew Posted March 26, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I had called Princess Customer Service and at first the rep was going to let me book. After he had my reservations entered, he realized it would not accept it unless I paid. He then said that I could not use the OBC on a Specialty Restaurant, but then backpedaled on that. I will just wait till I get on board, but it is very frustrating that we can't do this. Most of the prime dinner times will be taken, but we have no other option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
