Tedferg Posted February 8, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Can we buy Plus onboard with OBC Searched but did not find an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted February 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 8, 2023 Not at this time. You may purchase up to 3 days in advance of sailing. Only other options are the regular beverage packages such as soda and more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not directly, but you could buy the drink package, buy wifi, pay for gratuities, pay for exercise classes, and pay for the specialty deserts. Kind of all the same although the cost will be variable based on the last 2 items and the overall cost will probably be more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try on my upcoming cruise on February 20. From the FAQ: Can I purchase Princess Plus or Princess Premier when I’m on board? Yes. Princess Plus and Princess Premier will be available to purchase on board beginning with voyages sailing 2/20/23 and beyond. You may purchase a package on the first day of your voyage. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I thought I had heard that before. Nice advantage if you have a lot of OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you'll let us know how this works out for you. I'm planning on doing the same thing on my cruise in June. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedferg Posted February 8, 2023 Author #8 Share Posted February 8, 2023 I guess the next question is, must it be on day one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedferg Posted February 9, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted February 9, 2023 This almost seems too good to be true, most people have OBC and would purchase onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Beverage package was for complete cruise, so no point in buying mid-cruise. 13 minutes ago, TN-Mountains said: I called Princess and was told it would be the same price regardless of whether I added it today or onboard. Agreed, but being able to use OBC makes a big difference. Some people struggle to use up all their OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With any luck, in a few weeks @billcowill report back that using OBC to cover Princess Plus was easy peasy. Also, you specifically stated beverage package in this reply. In your original posts you just mentioned "Plus" and I assumed you were talking about Princess Plus. Is that right? I ask because they also have a Plus Beverage Package, which costs more per person, but it is only a beverage package and doesn't include the wifi, crew appreciation, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latebloomer56 Posted February 9, 2023 #15 Share Posted February 9, 2023 We also have trouble using OBC. Will keep an eye on this. Love the package last Oct. So booked with the plus package, wonder if we could use OBC once on board to upgrade that to next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy it on Day 2, I am pretty sure it would cost the same (full price) and you will have missed a day of free drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it can definitely be used on the first day of the cruise. I used OBC to purchase Premier while onboard Sky Princeess in June 2023. I don't know about day 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
