ANd remember your pin as it stays with you from cruise to cruise.

And don't forget the 5% fee if you're not Prime or above in the Casino.

The initial pin stays with you each cruise. Once you log in on the next cruise the machine will tell you to reset your pin.

What does this mean?

[TYMAN]

If you cash out $100 it will cost you $5, unless your status in the casino is Prime or higher.

 

Prime and higher has the 5% fee waived.

That does not apply if you’re just getting your obc out. 
That $5 fee is if you are charging $ to your ship account

Fee only applies at the tables.  You can cash out your OBC on the slots without any charge.

My initial pin is always MMDD on every cruise. I always have to reset it before I play the c&a free money

[TYMAN]

Okay, so if you're just charging to your room you pay the 5%? We've been Prime for years so I thought 5% was on everything. Cool?

On the Harmony now. Cashier states, you have to wager at least 50% of your transfer amount or they freeze your account.

How much can you take out?

Yes, I have read in other social media groups about this happening.

I think you can charge up to $5,000 a day to your room charge.

How do they freeze your account...like you cannot spend at all....would you help clarify? Thanks!

What I read is that you will not be able to charge cash to your room charge on the slot machine, for 24 hours.

Example, we transferred $1000 from room to casino. Only wagered $200. So can I still cash out the remaining $800 from the casino cashier? They can't freeze my money and not allow me to use the remaining $800, right? I'm just confused.

If you are onboard, go to the casino cashier or to the casino host and get clarification. I have been charging just $200 at a time, and I play it down before I cash in the voucher.

They freeze you for 24 hours so you can't CHARGE another $1000 on your account. You are free to cash out the $800 ticket at any time.

If refundable OBC, you can go to Guest Services and cash it out.

[neverbeenhere]

Recently a ship casino was limiting me to $500 of cash excess OBC withdrawal. Wife had to get the other $450 out. 

[LeeW]

We normally charge cruise account less than $100 at a time and have never been charged a fee for the transfer.

The comment a few up makes a good point for clarification. We are talking about how to cash out OBN (non-refundable). If it were OBR (refundable) you don't have to do anything to get it back .. it will go back to the credit card on record. But you can get it in cash if you don't want to lose points when a refund posts, or if you trust Royal's account department about as far as you can throw 'em.

 

Another way to get OBN (and this isn't a better way, just another) is to purchase promo chips at the cashier. Then play roulette playing even bets. When you win, set real chips aside and continue to play until all promo chips are exhausted. Then cash in the real chips. Odds are you'll get .. what .. about 90 cents on the dollar?
