Casino cash out process on Norweigan Star

[MariahJ]

Can someone tell me how the cash out process works in the casino? From what I understand, up to $2K per person per day can be charged to the stateroom for casino chips. At the end of the day, for arguments sake let's say I have $2K left. How do I cash this out?

 

I'll be traveling on the Star in November and I just got a new credit card that for a limited time is giving me 7% back on travel-related purchases. So, it makes more sense that I cash out what I have left every day, rather that taking a voucher with the previous day's winnings and starting over with that. But, I'm not sure if I want to have a carry around thousands in actual cash. So, does the casino give a cashier's check, cash, or something else?

 

TIA!

Once you add the $2k to your onboard account the money is yours. Cash out when you are done playing and you will be given cash. You can use that money for the next gaming session if you chose or just keep it with you to have cash on hand. There is a 3% charge for getting the cash to begin with.

You've actually got two different questions, here. First of all, cashing out from play: If you're on a table game with chips, you'll take your chips to the casino cashier and receive cash for them. If you're on a machine, you'll cash out in tickets, and you can either keep the tickets to play on again later, or cash them out at the cashier cage.

 

Secondly, as you said, for a 3% fee you can get up to $2k per day against the credit card that is securing your on board account. Generally, you'll receive that in cash from the cashier cage. I don't know if they can pay you directly in chips, or if they can only dispense cash, which you then have to carry to your game of choice.

 

Bottom line is that you will not be able to avoid carrying around either the cash, or the unused slot machine tickets.

"Travel-related purchases" would be items purchased, wouldn't it? Isn't the amount charged to the stateroom for casino chips be considered "cash advance" rather than "purchase"?

Looks like the OP hasn't been back, but I wondered the same thing. It may become a "purchase" rather than a cash advance because NCL just charges the whole of your on board account balance to your card. I don't think they differentiate between the purchase of a drink, and the "purchase" of $300 to play in the casino, even though you do receive an itemized accounting when you leave the ship.

We took money off our credit card, charged against our onboard account, during our last cruise and it was charged to our credit card as purchases and not as a cash advance.

I would be incredibly careful with charging $ to your shipboard account in the casino. It will cost you at a minimum 3% if done in the casino. You may be able to go to the guest services desk and put money in your shipboard account without the fee, bur I am not sure about that. You can always use your roomcard in the casino, but it will cost you at least 3% on your shipboard charges. I am of a form believe that you don't play more than you can afford to lose. Puting casino credit on your roomcard, whether from guest services or in the casino is a no-win situation. Play with Cash or chips and put them in the in room safe when not thought to be needed. Worst case scenario ot is a 4 minute alk back to the room.
