dagored Posted January 10, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Call RCCL. I can not think of a reason for not accepting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swigso Posted January 10, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi, This is no problem, I would suggest that you Register your Credit Card (just saves a lot of hassle that a cash account causes) Then day before you disembark or for that matter Anytime through your cruise go to guest relations and pay Off your bill. I usually go about 10pm on the last night. I have done this many times so that my CC bill is usually No more than $50 or so. One time I was behind a couple who paid $9500 off their account in T/Chqs.

Shelley61 Posted January 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 10, 2013 The other option is to get a prepaid travel money card in dollars. We've used them from the Post Office and Caxton before and they're really good. You get a good conversion rate on them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted January 10, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Here is the FAQ regarding onboard payments. It does say that "Accounts can also be settled by cash or travelers checks." In addition, you can exchange up to "USD $1000 in travelers checks and foreign currency per day... for cash at the Guest Relations or Guest Services Desk".

suekay Posted January 10, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Have you thought about getting a Post Office credit credit? No foreign transaction fees and you get a good exchange rate. I keep one purely for holiday spending and clear it when we get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
