combining onboard credits

[jufrasin]

Due to board the emerald princess on the 28th june in southampton and me and th OH both have $75 onboard credit each. Can we ask that both credits be applied to just my stateroom account as we pay by seperate credit cards and he wont use his credit as he doesnt spend anything onboard? We dont want to end up with $75 going unused :(

If you plan to leave the auto-tips in place, your OBCs can be used to offset those charges.

Already getting free gratuities so that is not something it would be going towards. Thanks anyway.

I think it would be easier to work this out privately between the two of you, i.e. charge some of your onboard purchases to his account and pay him back.

If he does not spend any money then have the two accounts charged to you credit card. They will net the two final balances and bill you for that amount

US$75 will be used up very quickly. The Hotel Charge (autotip) will use it up before the first week is over. The Hotel Charge is US$11.50pp/day ($12.00 for mini and full suites) or US$161 to $168, approx. GBP100, per person for the voyage. Bar drinks run about $9each, a coffee card is around $31, if you take any tours they will be over $75 each. I can't see in my mind how you will have any OBC remaining at the end of the voyage.

As mentioned above, the $75 OBC will be used up with the auto-gratuity alone. And I'm sure the will be some other incidentals on each card that will take care of the OBC:)

These days any remaining OBC is refunded so it won't go to waste.

Auto-tip is not a solution. Read OP's second post.

Go to he Casino and charge $75 to your room account....pocket the cash and the OBC will cover it.......PLEASE dont say this wont work.....Im an Elite member....just got off a ship 26 days ago and Cashed in $140 in OBC this way. Good luck.

I thought they charged 3% for doing that. (unless you use a slot bank)

Maybe it changed...

Not necessary. The OBC can be refunded at customer desk before you get off the ship. I also believe they will combine the 2 OBCs. Just a few more reasons to love Princess and to stay loyal.

It IS a problem if you want to play in the casino afterwards. They will notice on the system that you downloaded money then immediately cashed out, then they block your card.

Tell him to treat himself to something special. Better yet, he could treat you to something special. :)

 

Have a specialty dinner and a bottle of wine. That will take care of the $75.00

There are plenty of 'elite members' here making inaccurate statements.

 

Mr. blkapy said he went to the 'casino'.

 

If he used a slot bank, it is true once. If you don't then play, they block your card.

 

If you go to the cage, they charge you 3%
