Credit Card for Seapass Card

[jgonzalez720]

Quick question!

 

For your seapass card, could you use a prepaid visa/mc..etc? Or does it have to be a true credit card or debit card!

 

Thanks again :)

Hotels, Car Rentals and Cruiselines will only accept cards that have your name pre-printed on them.

the prepaid cards/gift cards will not work on the ship...neither will the plastic, 'travelers cheque' cards..(the paper ones are fine though..)

Is it only Credit Cards or could you use a debit card as well?

A debit will work (if it has the Visa or MC logo), but they will put a hefty "hold" on your account. Since a debit is basically cash...just bring the cash...put cash on your account and be done with it. If you don't spend it all, they will return it, and you can put it back in your account. If you go over, then give them the debit card on the last night....they will charge it immediately, without that annoying "hold"....

If you are from anywhere except the USA use a Credit card and have your bank do the foreign conversion. The exchange rate on board isn't very good and there exchange service for foreign currencies charges 3% transaction fee to do the conversion.
