If you are going to purchase any type of cruise cash and want to use it anywhere on the ship, get “cruise cash.” As stated above, cruise cash bar can only be used in the bar and cruise cash photos can only be used to purchase photos.
I always get cruise cash before my trip as I don’t like to have any balance on my account at the end of the ship. Yes, it is use it or lose it, but there are ways around that.
in addition to checking your balance on the app, you can also check it at the kiosks located throughout the ship.
