Cash Sail and Sign

[planmaker]

I know you don’t have to set up a sail and sign card with a credit card, but if you set it up with cash is there a minimum amount per person that you have to put in it?

No, not really. Just be aware of what you're charging or it could get denied. Although they let my sister buy 2 BB packages on the ship before she put any money on her account, but her next purchase was declined. I do around $250 for me usually in the form of general cruise cash. Then I can add more if needed. It's usually not because I prepay as much as possible so it's just what I spend on alcohol (not much), casino, and whatnot.

We put $20 each on our recent cruise. We each had a little over $20 in obc already. You can always add more later.

Hi,

When cruising without my husband, on my girls cruises, I use the Cash option. These cruises or 4-5 days. I buy CRUISE CASH $100 per day of the cruise. When I get onboard, I go to GS and give them $200 cash, just as a cushion, which I have yet to use on my cruises.

This has worked out very nicely. I have received a refund check from Carnival of $200-$250 in the mail after my cruises. I use that money to book my next girls cruise!

I also carry 1 credit card for emergencies. I no longer wish to charge my trips, then I'm stuck paying on them forever it seems!

Just looked up Cash Accounts at Carnival. They have RECOMMENDED dollar amounts. That must be where I got the idea to allow $100/day for the short cruises. Works for me.

 

Note : I no longer drink alcohol, and am not big gambler.

Why wait for a refund check in the mail, when you can get your cash back on the ship? I always get cash back from whatever is left on my account on the last night of the cruise.

I guess I'm just a thrill seeker!! ;). It's pretty neat-o to actually get a "check in the mail", since it doesn't happen to me otherwise LOL.

 

FYI: I get them the first week I'm home.

I may only put about 50 on ours we don’t buy to much on the ship. If we need more we just add it at the kiosk. Happy sailing!!
