screenname2004 Posted December 29, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 29, 2023 We have made the final payment with plus package included. Now I realize I have a few hundred dollars of OBC that I have no idea how to spend it. Can I cancel the plus package and buy it when I get on board?

Unfortunately, you probably won’t be able to do so now that final payment has been made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if the final payment date has not been reached yet? In our case Princess gave us $2000 in OBC to book an18-day Jan 2025 cruise from Buenos Aires to Ft Lauderdale and we booked the cruise with the Plus Package. However, our cabin category is now sold out and the $2000 early booking perk has disappeared. Since the Plus Package fare was included in the base Fare, can we get the $60 pp/day fee removed, so we could pay for it with OBC once onboard? I'm feeling the answer is no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 57eric Posted December 30, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I'm not understanding why anyone would pay for the plus package until right before embarkation (or later). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course PCL decides at some point to increase the daily Plus charge again, like they have done twice before. In the beginning it was $40 pp/day, then $50 pp/day, before the latest increase to $60 pp/day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an expert but I doubt it. It is a separate rate code so you would have to re-fare. This is assuming the price you paid included Plus. If you added Plus via the Personalizer after, you probably can. Edited December 30, 2023 by Coral 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I figured. And since the category is sold out and the huge early booking OBC perk was eliminated, we have no desire to refare anyway.

Consider that when we booked our cruise (which we took in early December) the Plus Package was only $40 plus we were given a free upgrade to the Premiere Package because of a special promotion for Vets. If we had waited until our cruise (or close to our cruise) that $40 package would have cost a lot more! Hank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told I could remove Plus from my fare. So it probably depends on the kind of fare you have. (I ended up not doing it for various reasons but the option was offered.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the $60 price point is about the max for us, unless they start adding some perks we will actually use other than free gratuities, unlimited internet and beverage packages, as we pretty much ignore the other light weight perks and don’t use room service.
