mactire Posted January 12, 2019 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2019 In February 2018 we went on a back to back cruise on Marella Discovery to the Caribbean. It was a great cruise but at the start, as we were registering, I was told that if I used my Credit Card I would be charged 2.5% on top so I used a Debit Card. At the time I was under the impression that had been stopped by legislation in the UK but Marella couldn't help me on that one. Has anyone come across this problem in the past year. Thanks for any replies. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare dronnygirl Posted January 12, 2019 #2 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I believe credit card charges were removed early 2018. We weren't charged any in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactire Posted January 16, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Our booking was in 2017 so that would be why they wanted to charge for my credit card. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexdisic Posted January 16, 2019 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I've no doubt that after that date they would incorporate the charge into the pricing. Cash used to be king, but not now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You check in online but register your credit card and have ship card issued before you board the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalsign Posted February 10, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 10, 2020 You check in only for your flights on line As said before by Dronnygirl on arrival at the port you register credit/debit card and have your photo taken and are given your ships card which you use to purchase anything and to get on and off the ship. Some ships also use the card to enter your cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
