redroses Posted August 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2022 can this be used for gratuities/tips? The pdf said it can't be, so they segregate the OBC in your onboard account? Any real world info would be helpful. thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avonlady6390 Posted August 26, 2022 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Yes obc is used first then comes out of your credit card after that if you spend more than what you have in obc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried The restrictions have always been in the details but Princess did not enforce the shareholders OBC, being restricted to not be used in Casino or for Gratuities. I was on the Grand Princess for 14 days in July 2022 and had no problem using up my shareholder OBC thru charging $ on a slot machine. Maybe more recent reports like yours, means Princess has decided to start enforcing the stated restrictions. Your post is the first I have seen to report Princess is now enforcing their stated policy for Shareholders OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes! Princess allows “stacking” OBC. I have heard other lines do not. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to apply every time as Princess needs to verify that you still own the shares and didn’t sell them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
