Travelers Check for Cash Account

[Sparkygirl]

I have searched the forum and NCL sites but there is no real clarification.

 

We are sailing NCL Dawn in the DOS. I want to set up a cash account for our party of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) The two children will not have charging privileges on their cards. Do they need the $300 deposited onboard for their expenses which they won't have?

 

I am planning on getting a travelers check in the total amount for the onboard account so that I can not carrying around that large of an amount of cash.

 

If I have determined tipping amounts for the Butler, Concierge and Kids Club should those be in cash or also add to the travelers check amount?

You can easily open the account with a credit card, then pay it down later with cash or tc's

No credit card only debit card and do not want the multiple holds and releases that can take a month to clear.

I can't help you with kids' requirements but with tips for concierge and butler you can go either way - give them plain cash or ask Guest Services to make you gratuity vouchers for the named persons and those will be charged from your onboard account.
