Carnival Australlia credit card fees (onboard)

[PAFC2004]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know if Carnival charge a credit card fee for onboard transactions? Previously I've used debit cards on other lines, but I am looking to use a credit card this time. 

Also, as it is an American line, does anyone know if foreign transaction fees apply for those credit card which charge them? Or do they process payments in Australia.

 

I'm cruising on the Spirit next month, which will be my first cruise with CCL. Thanks!

Edit: 

As Carnival charge in AUD, I would assume that there would be no foreign currency conversion fee, but confirmation would be greatly appreciated.

Credit card fee applies, about 1.5% from memory on Carnval. The fee is waived if you choose to pay by a debit card though so if you have that option it is best 👍. 

 

I didnt get any overseas fees and I’m with ANZ.

Credit card charges are processed in Australia for Aussie-based Carnival, P&O and Princess cruises, so no foreign transaction fees for any of those.
