gunnywife Posted October 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 23, 2022 I just ordered 3 excursions for our June cruise. I was charged full price on my credit card. When and how do I receive the 10% discount for Elites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fpsphil Posted October 23, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2022 You’ll see it as OBC when you board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coconutmonkey Posted October 23, 2022 #3 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Is the OBC for the shore excursions refundable to your credit card or do you have to spend them on the ship? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ombud Posted October 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Mine was refundable but I've heard that the transfers back to the airport doesn't normally get the 10% back even though I buy it from the shore excursion desk (using OBC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their statement was that transfers aren't excursions even though managed by the same dept. It was only a few $$s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is also why there are separate when booking online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted October 23, 2022 #8 Share Posted October 23, 2022 So if I book excursions pre cruise they will charge the full amount, then I will get the ten percent back as onboard OBC? Just want to make sure I'm understanding this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks. If your refundable OBC is <$25, you can collect it at the Pax Svcs desk the day before debark. If it's >$25, you'll get a check (sometime in the future anywhere from 2-10 weeks). The check comes from Bottomline. Princess doesn't refund OBC to credit cards (at least in the US, it might be different in Europe, etc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I just received my check today - we got off the Emerald Princess on 10 October - so not bad. While I probably wouldn't have thrown the envelope away I remembered seeing your comment about Bottomline so I knew what it was 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
