Adding to s&s before cruise?

[dolphiness]

I often have an onboard cedit before sailing, and buy gift cards up till sailing to add to spending money on ship. Was wondering if it is possible to add cash to it before we cruise? Maybe calling and adding cash by phone ever so often? Would be better than waiting till I board to wait at guest services when they are so busy! Thanks for any help!

The only way to do that anymore would be to go to carnivals website and buy "Cruise Cash".

Don't buy too much though because it is considered to be non refundable.

It won't show on your documents as on board credit. You will only receive a note in your stateroom indicating a Cruise Cash gift has been provided. It will show on your account once on board.

I sail this weekend and used the new cruise cash to do this. I can let you know how it works out. You can buy them in $25 values. But it says they are non-refundable so I will just put what is left if any on my casino account and cash out.

Does non-refundable mean 'use it or lose it'?

Under the old system, if we had any credit left on our account, we were issued a check on the last morning. Is this not the case with Cruise Cash?

Yes, it's use it or lose it.

 

The 'gift' card is not.
