kywildcatfanone Posted June 13, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hi folks, This is the first cruise I have booked that included OBC from the online TA. On the travel details section of the e-mail they sent me, it says we will get a bottle of wine and $100 of OBC. Does any of that show up on your cruise personalizer when you log into Princess.com before you actually get on the ship, or is it just supposed to magically appear in your onboard account once you embark? I would just like to make sure it's there before boarding if possible. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mizLORInj Posted June 13, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 13, 2008 It did not show on my recent RC cruise beforehand, but it was there when I checked onboard, and we got a postcard with the info on it in our cabin. It doesn't show for my Princess cruise in November either. But I'm sure it'll be there. Maybe just confirm your understanding with your TA before you go? -L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheltieLady Posted June 13, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I wonder that too, we got $100 obc per cabin when we booked our cruise this past Monday. Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mii Posted June 13, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2008 When you get OBC from your TA it does not show up until you board.Just check with the pursers desk and request a statement. it will be on there. Now I always take the receipt that I get from the TA telling me I have gotten whatever amt. You never know, things happen. At least I have a written confirmation of what I am receiving from my TA. It will also not show up on the Cruise Personalizer, only what Princess gives you. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tully07 Posted June 13, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2008 The OBC from the TA will not show anywhere (other than correspondence from your TA) before you board the ship. It was in my shipboard account when I requested a printout of my account (to confirm OBC and currency to be used for shipboard charges) on the second day of the cruise.

bxny Posted June 13, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I learned from posters on CC to always make a copy of the TA's promise of OBC and then confirm with the pursar or look for the OBC card from the TA in your cabin. Also save those bar receipts. We had overcharges in one of the lounges but had receipt to prove what the correct charge was. Also be careful of those hand written bills, check them before stuffing into your pocket or bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted June 13, 2008 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Some will show and some will not until you board, and sometimes it may take a day or two for certain ones to post. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysgrandma Posted June 13, 2008 #8 Share Posted June 13, 2008 It should be there when you board but take the correspondance from the TA just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheltieLady Posted June 13, 2008 #9 Share Posted June 13, 2008 It does show the obc on my deposit confirmation for Princess my ta gave me a copy. Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weberman Posted June 13, 2008 #10 Share Posted June 13, 2008 It does show the obc on my deposit confirmation for Princess my ta gave me a copy. Christine Look in your Circle Savings Account - My Savings. We have a total of $350 from booking our current cruise. My OBC shows $250 Applied to booking. My DW account show $100 Applied to booking. Princess told me they say Applied to booking and will not reflect as an OBC until the day the cruise begins. Check your account! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turs Posted June 13, 2008 #11 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I asked my online TA about the OBC. I was told it would not show up until we made final payment in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted June 13, 2008 Author #12 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Folks, Thanks for the replies, I will keep all of this in mind. Another question for the experts. The paperwork I got from the TA shows $50 credit for me and $50 for my wife (plus a bottle of wine). Now would the TA paperwork include the OBC I get from Princess for using a FCC ($25/pp), or only their OBC? I had assumed that the OBC from the TA was $50/cabin, but maybe it's $100/cabin, unless it does include the OBC from Princess. Thanks again!
