resordanis Posted April 16, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Hi all, I don’t think this is possible anymore but thought I would ask. We have a sizeable OBC for a cruise and want to use this for shore excursions. Is there any way we can purchase prior to boarding and have this taken out of our OBC or would I have to pay with CC if I book now? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I have just used our OBC for our excursions before we board in Vancouver on 6 May. just select your excursions and follow through to payment and it will offer you to pay with your OBC. Or of course use your CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I did this for the World Cruise on the Coral Princess leaving in June. After I selected my tours, when it came to the payment option I selected 'pay from OBC'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why that is. Maybe if you phone Princess tomorrow they might be able to sort it out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted April 17, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 17, 2023 I just booked a Princess excursion and the promo obc was automatically deducted from the total charge of the shore excursion without me requesting it or ticking a box - not that I had a problem with it being used up that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I did too, and was unsure whether to proceed as I didnt want to pay by CC. I simply logged into "Live Chat" on Princess, got someone right away. Asked my questions. She asked for permission to log into cruise personaliser which I gave. She checked and told me to just go to the next screen (after the CC window) and it will def show the OBC as an option, which it did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you could continue on to CC, if not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to use OBC for excursions or purchases after you board, but it isn't so easy before the cruise. The problem with waiting to book excursions is that many of them sell out well before the cruise starts. I bought internet for the world cruise and had to pay immediately. I couldn't pay for it from my OBC. If I waited until I boarded the ship I could do that, but I was pretty sure the price was going to be increased. It was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was easy for us, we prebooked and just used the credit card to pay the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes up as first option once you go into payments from memory but guess it’s making sure payment option is covered gir those who don’t have OBC or enough OBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
