Step-by-Step: How to Redeem Your Princess Future Cruise Package Benefits
You’ve got Future Cruise Credits, Stay Certificates, and Onboard Credits — here’s exactly how to put them all to work.
Your Princess Future Cruise Package comes loaded with travel benefits, and the best part is that each one is designed to be easy to use. In this guide, we’ll walk you through every step, so you can travel with confidence.
How to Redeem Princess Future Cruise Credits (FCCs)
Your Future Cruise Credits are the crown jewel of your Future Cruise Package. Each FCC is worth $1 USD, and they can be applied toward any new Princess cruise booking. Here’s how:
- Option 1: Book online at princess.com — FCCs are applied during checkout
- Option 2: Call 1-800-PRINCESS — and your FCCs will be applied to your booking
- Option 3: Contact a travel advisor or Princess Cruise Vacation Planner
FCCs are flexible — they can be applied to one cruise or spread across multiple sailings. They can be used toward your fare, a travel companion’s fare on your booking, Princess PlusⓇ or Princess PremierⓇ, room upgrades, and more.
How to Earn More Future Cruise Credits Through the Princess Promotions Marketplace
Here’s a perk you may not know about: Select Future Cruise Packages can earn additional Future Cruise Credits on hotel bookings and on merchandise and wine purchases made in the Princess Promotions Marketplace. For eligible Future Cruise Packages, earn rates range from 5% to 25% back in FCCs. Earned FCCs from hotel bookings will be added to your account after your hotel stay is completed, while FCCs earned on wine and merchandise purchases will be added monthly. FCCs can be applied to your cruise fare and more — just for shopping in the Princess Promotions Marketplace.
How to Use Onboard Credits (OBC) on Princess Cruise Lines
Your Onboard Credit is spending money applied directly to your stateroom folio — great for shore excursions, spa treatments, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, beverages, and shopping in The Shops of Princess.
A few key things to know about:
- OBC applies automatically to the first cruise you book using your FCCs
- Princess applies OBC first to your folio balance; once depleted, your credit card is charged for the remainder of the balance
- OBC cannot be used on the cruise during which you purchased your Future Cruise Package
- OBC is non-refundable and does not carry over to future cruises, so be sure to use your full balance before you disembark

With the purchase of a Princess Future Cruise Ultimate Package, enjoy exclusive Promotional Onboard Benefits until your Princess Future Cruise Ultimate Package expires. For a complete list of onboard benefits, please visit the onboard Future Cruise Team or call 1-800-PRINCESS, option 5.

- Step 1: Log into princesspromotions.com
- Step 2: Click on “Hotels” or “Premium Stays” at the top of the page
- Step 3: Select the certificate you want to use from the dropdown menu
