Credit card

[dengirl69]

I am wondering if I can put my deposit down using one credit card then another to to off balance when it's time and do I need either cc to get on ship? I'd rather not use or take either after deposit and balance pay off

Yes, you can use different cards for deposit and balance. If you are going to use cash to back your S&S card, then you do not need a credit card to get on the ship.

I used 2 cc to pay our deposit. Half on both. Basically the PVP said we can use as many cc's as we like to pay for the cruise. You won't need a CC on the ship as long as you give them their required amount of cash up front to put on the S&S card.

Would it be a good idea to inform the credit card company of your cruise plans so that they don't stop payment on purchases in countries that just don't normally make transactions in?

Yes, that would be a very good idea.

I always notify the cc company when I am traveling, even if I am not leaving the country.

As others have said, you won't need a cc on board.

If something out of the ordinary were to happen where you needed to spend a bunch of money, would you have a way to cover it without a cc? I don't really neeed an answer, but something to think about.

If you are looking at not taking a credit card, you might want to purchase the funship dollars. That way you can use them for your onboard account.

I do, too, ever since my cell phone started ringing at 5am in Vegas after I went on a shopping spree there! We just got back to the room about 30 minutes earlier too!

I take Am. Express with me. Don't leave home without it. In case of an emergency (which could run in the thousands) it is a good idea to have it. I am not talking about a few thousand, but much more and yes, I have insurance, but then when would that kick in?

[Room Service!]

I agree that it's a good idea ... you just never know.

[CRUISE4JANE]

Yep, like they say, "Don't leave home without it". I always have it with me when I travel....................peace of mind. :)

I have never notified my Am. Express when I travel, but after being here on CC, I will. :)
