Sign and sail account

[Rustic46]

Total newbie here so please forgive me. I have seen people talk about buying cruise cash to put on their on board account. Why buy the cruise cash and not just put cash in the account? Is there an advantage to cruise cash?

First of all,,, Cruise Cash is non refundable, so don't buy more than you can use.

 

Now to your question, there is really no advantage. The only reason why I might do it is just so I have as much pre-paid for my vacation as possible. If I know that I'm probably going to spend $1000 on the ship, I'll pre-pay as much as possible so at the end of my cruise, my credit card is only going to take a small hit.

So if you buy cruise cash you can put it on your account before you sail? In which case you avoid having to go put a card or cash on your account once on board?
