Cash or Credit?

[Boilermaker77]

I have been penny pinching for the last year so that I will have some cash for my upcoming cruise.

My question is can I put "cash" on my tab when I get on the ship so that I can use it for cocktails, spa treatments etc or do I have to use my credit card?

I would rather not use my credit card and just use the cash.

 

Any advice?

You do not need to provide a credit card at check in. If you don't put one down, they will let you make charges and then you pay it off at the end of the cruise. If you reach a certain plateau during the cruise (I think it is $500), you will get a call from guest services asking you to stop by and put money on the account in order for you to be able to continue charging.

You can just use your credit card and then pay off your bill at the end with cash.

Thanks for the quick responses.

 

So if I have $500 cash can I take it to the front desk and have them credit my account right away or do I have to wait until the end of the cruise?

 

I would rather use my cash up front and then have the rest put on my credit card. I also don't want cash hanging around in my state room.

You can put down cash on your account when you get on board. There is a Safe in your room that you can put your valuables in.

You can also call C&A (800-526-9723) or Gifts and Gear (800-722-5443) and purchase OBC ahead of your cruise.

 

Saves travelling with extra cash.
