Purrfect Posted October 11, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I was just wondering what the pre authorization rate is on RCL? Doing my cruise at the end of my vacation and just want to ensure I have room on there for the pre auth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted October 11, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I think you have no replys because we don't understand what you are asking. What is pre-authorization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purrfect Posted October 11, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted October 11, 2009 When you go on a cruise, rent a car or check in to a hotel, they pre authorize your credit card for a certain $ amount. For example, enterprise rent a car pre authorizes for $500 even if you rent a car for one day. Las Vegas hotels usually pre authorize $100 per day.

Cruising89143 Posted October 11, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I think that the OP is wanting to know if the cruise line places a "hold" on their credit card account for her SeaPass card? Yes they do. The amount, I don't know. Each cruise lines does their own thing. I have read that the cruise line will get approval for a certain amount and when/if you reach that amount, they will go for more. If there is a problem then I'm sure that you will be notified or your SeaPass will be turned off to charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil1179 Posted October 12, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I had this same question before my Mariner cruise a few weeks ago. I called RC and they explained that at check in, they run a preauth for gratuities only. For the rest of the cruise, they will run a preauth for the total amount owed on your Sea Pass at the end of each day. I was especially curious because I was using my debit card and was afraid of daily preauths or hundreds of dollars, but this is not the case.

They do this 2-3 times during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
