Question about Funship Dollars and OBC

[cdapplez]

On the last cruise I attended, I had a problem with using my debit card for my S&S. Not Carnival's fault by any means, my Paypal account was hacked and I had two unauthorized withdrawals from my bank account (which was also account I was using for my S&S). One a few days before embarkation and one while I was on the cruise. And while it was all eventually straightened out, I had a few days with my account overdrawn :confused:

 

This time, I was planning to put money on my OBC before the cruise. I don't have any credit cards. If I pay into my OBC little by little, will the balance be there when I get the S&S card at embarkation or will I still have to put up cash beforehand so that I can order a funship as soon as I hit the Lido Deck?

 

Thanks!

Not sure about having to put cash down, as I have never used cash. But money will be there as OBC when you board. We put as much as OBC ahead of time to cut down on S & S balance at end of cruise.

How do you pay into your OBC ahead of time?

I have been buying Funship Dollars for our upcoming cruise. When I get them in the mail I just go on funshipreguests dot com and fill out the form and then they are placed onto my account.

I just called a few weeks ago for my cruise in October and the OBC was on my account in less then a week. I'm good to go. That first DOD is all paid for :D

You could purchase funship dollars little by little, then when you get to port, you just tell the check in agent you are using all your funship dollars as your deposit, no worries
