mgb3 Posted March 10, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi everyone we are going on the carnival sprit and thinking of using a travel card to pay for our sail and sign. Do these get charged and what forms of card did everyone use? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Big_M Posted March 10, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Carnival spirit is in Australian dollars, so just use whatever you prefer to spend with; no need to worry about the hassle/cost of a travel card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy1948 Posted March 10, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Hi everyone we are going on the carnival sprit and thinking of using a travel card to pay for our sail and sign. Do these get charged and what forms of card did everyone use?Thanks Sent from my iPad using Forums Do you mean something like Travelex type card? if so -you can't use them to pay onboard account. They are not linked to any bank account - so therefore cannot be "locked down - or put on hold" (best description) against your onboard account. Hope that makes sense.

NewToCruising67 Posted March 10, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The Travel Card is like a debit Visa/Mastercard issued by your bank that you load your own money on, has a pin number and covers 13 + different currencies. So it is like a credit card but no fees. I have one linked to my Carnival account to use soon on my cruise over Easter :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
