SeaPete Posted November 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Would I be able to cash a personal check at either guest services or the casino? Is there a dollar limit to the check I cash? How many checks would I be allowed to right during a 7 day cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted November 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I believe the limit on checks is $50 or $100. It’s been a long time since I cashed a check. Try contacting Captains Club, they’d have more up to date info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted November 15, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2018 The limit is $200 per cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisestitch Posted November 15, 2018 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Bring your photo id with you when you go to Guest Relations. They will cash one check per cruise for $200 (or two checks for $100 each, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSinPNS Posted November 15, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2018 All Celebrity ships have two ATMs that dispense USD and the predominant local currency. A month ago, the ATM fee levied by the owner BB&T was USD 6.50. It shows on your statement as BB&T, Miami, FL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted November 15, 2018 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Ok, but how does that relate to cashing a check? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted November 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted November 16, 2018 you can definitely cash a check for up toUS$200.00. I would NEVER use the ATM and pay the fee. It is way too high !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted November 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 16, 2018 That fee, unfortunately, doesn't include the fee your bank may charge for being out of network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEOofVacation Posted November 16, 2018 #10 Share Posted November 16, 2018 My bank automatically refunds my account for any third party ATM charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silhouette2017 Posted November 16, 2018 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Too bad Celebrity doesn’t have a free ATM machine. Here in the Netherlands, and also in Norway, where I was born, checks have not been used in 20 years. ATM’s here are always free, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted November 16, 2018 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2018 If you don’t use personal checks then this service doesn’t apply to you, but I cash a $200 check on nearly every cruise and am happy Celebrity makes this available.

Rare Lady Arwen Posted November 16, 2018 #13 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) in Canada we have "cheques". Well, we used to. I haven't used one nor have I seen anyone use one in more than 10 years. In Canada, they are quite obsolete, along with traveller's cheques. Very interesting that Celebrity still offers this service. Is it because it's more common to use checks in the U.S.? Edited November 16, 2018 by Lady Arwen spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted November 16, 2018 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2018 It’s a US based cruise line, so most probably, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA_CA_GAL Posted November 16, 2018 #15 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Simple thing to do is just take plenty of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all is for any tipping. I use credit cards for purchases at the ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PTC DAWG Posted November 16, 2018 #17 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Checks are not hardly used at all, it puts your checking account number and bank routing number out there for prying eyes to see. Not secure at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to banks, consumers are creatures of habit and seldom change banks to other banks and credit unions that offer much more favorable terms. This is a dirty secret in the banking world which is why some banks (generally the larger commercial banks) keep increasing fees. They do it because they can. It is often the smaller local/regional banks and especially the very consumer friendly credit unions that have policies that are pro customer. For example, our main credit union reimbursed most ATM fees, issues a no-fee Visa card with zero foreign exchange fees, and actually pays us dividends at the end of the year. Yes, our bank actually pays us to use their services. Imagine :). Hank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
