Accounts were linked. Did not matter. Refundable OBC were used first regardless.
Went to guest services about using the OBC for the excursions.....no dice.
By the way, these were added to my account way before embarkation. Tried to book
excursions beforehand and was not allowed to use the OBC for both of us.
Going to guest services and the excursion desk once on board did nothing.
After complaining about the specialty restaurants, ,they made a note in the account that the next dinner in a specialty restaurant should totally come out of my husbands remaining OBC.
Had we not done that, it would have come from each of our accounts. Medallions were not even asked for.
We too have cruised before 2019 and had no problems with any of these new "rules"
for OBC.
As for rewarding stockholders with a perk, not too sure about that anymore. We realized they could care less about their loyal passengers, so why should owning stock make a difference.
It was only one of the many issues we had on our April 4 cruise.
No more Princess for us.
