cb at sea Posted November 28, 2019 #27 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Do NOT use a debit card....your bank places HOLDS on your funds and it can take days for the "holds" to drop off. Use either a credit card, or simply bring cash. If you use a credit card, and want to pay it off in cash, you can certainly do so. NOTHING is actually CHARGED to your card until the cruise is over.

ray98 Posted November 29, 2019 #28 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Credit card or cash....no debit cards. These threads always amuse me when the CC's are evil people come out. If I couldn't trust myself to wisely use a CC I don't know how I would take that. It isn't the card, it is the person using the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bailey57 Posted December 2, 2019 Author #29 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) Thanks for everyone's input. Interesting, because I asked "is there a certain amount that must be available (or held) for a 7 night cruise?" - that is, is there a minimum amount they require be available. I didn't ask for pros/cons of debit vs cc, but everyone sure is opinionated about it... who knew. 😉😄 Edited December 2, 2019 by bailey57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
