chicopaige Posted Monday at 08:32 PM #1 Share Posted Monday at 08:32 PM I recently cancelled a few specialty dining reservations that I had on a cruise I will be embarking on in 30 days. Will the $ I paid go back to the credit card I used for the reservation or will it show up as onboard credit for use on my sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satxdiver Posted Monday at 09:55 PM #2 Share Posted Monday at 09:55 PM If you cancel after full payment it will go to OBC. Before full payment it will be refunded by check to your home sometime later. Be aware that the refund check will look like junk mail and will not say Princess on the envelope.

I just cancelled a speciality restaurant reservation for a cruise far prior to final payment. They refunded my payment charge back to my credit card. I have not cancelled dining reservations after final payment, but I have canceled other reservations after final payment, that required payment, and I was refunded back to my credit card for those too. Perhaps specialty dining is different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also just cancelled my Premier package & they told me it was going to be returned to my credit card account in 3 to 5 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they take that long to charge your credit card, of course they didn’t! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had this happen to me. My refunds go back to the credit card before & after final payment for SD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicopaige Posted yesterday at 12:18 PM Author #7 Share Posted yesterday at 12:18 PM Thank you for all the responses, it sounds like I will just need to wait and see what Princess does this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a good idea, since they keep changing the rules or misinterpreting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted 17 hours ago #9 Share Posted 17 hours ago Anything "extra" that I have paid for via credit card (besides the fare itself) and cancelled has *always* gone back to credit card. Now, admittedly, I rarely cancel things so my experience may not be a good example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicopaige Posted 15 hours ago Author #11 Share Posted 15 hours ago Yes I was charged and it was posted on my credit card the next day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicopaige Posted 10 hours ago Author #12 Share Posted 10 hours ago Just saw that Princess has credited my account for the specialty dinners I cancelled. So in my case credit came through 4 days after I cancelled! Pleasant surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise_critical Posted 2 hours ago #13 Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) I booked Crown Grill and paid AUD $126 few weeks before the final payment due date. Confirmed that it charged my credit card. Then weeks later, I made the full payment for my cruise as it was close to 90 days. Then a week or two after that, I cancelled the booking. (this was last week) I got the full refund credited back into my credit card few days after still. Edited 2 hours ago by cruise_critical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
