Does anyone know if Royal would accommodate cash withdrawals from visa if necessary?

You can get cash against your seapass card at the casino.  They will charge you 5% for this.  

 

This is the only way I know of.

Might be cheaper to just BRING the cash you might need.  There's a safe in the cabin.  Any you don't spend can be redeposited into your bank when you return home.  I'm not a fan of paying to access my own money.

 

That said, if you get an "advance" on the ship, it goes thru your card like a "charge"....you won't be charged a different rate for the advance.

Unless you are already a prime in casino....then you can get cash from card for free ;).

 

Either way.....5% if you go to casino and get cash....play for a little bit and then cash out.  What's the cash rate on your CC?

There is an ATM on board.  My last ship had a BB&T branded ATM.  About an $8 fee to withdraw cash from a non-BB&T checking account. 

 

I've never tried to do a credit cash advance on it but imagine it could, with the usual ugliness of any credit card cash advance.

 

What does your Canadian card charge for using it at a US ATM?

They will cash a check  for up to $200 (usd) once per cruise.

Used to fo this all the time when they didn't charge the tips to your account.
