Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted December 28, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Can guest services cash a check is not a commonly asked question, I be surprised if they did because of the liability of it bounces but do not know for sure If obtaining cash isn’t an option pre-sailing, ship atm is one option, port atm is another and finally there’s performing a room charge at a slot machine and cashing it out at the cashier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on a B2B2B for 28 days starting next month and I really didn’t want to have to take a large amount of cash with me, so I guess I’ll have to use the ATM. If I do a room charge at the slot machine and cash it out is there a charge associated with doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsternight Posted December 28, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I'd make sure that a casino charge to your account won't be treated as a cash advance to your credit card. Or does it really matter? I'm cheap so it would for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted December 28, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 28, 2022 I believe that they will cash up to $200. That was certainly the case in 2019. Haven’t tried since the restart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelayne Posted December 28, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Why do you need a large amount of cash? Have you booked independent tours that require cash? If so in what currency or will they take a credit card. We have done trips of 40 days and took 1 cash withdrawal from a ATM paid a $6 fee plus the $1.50 our bank charged. We try and put everything we can on a credit card and the withdrawal was primarily for tips to crew and small incidentals on land. We had some tours that required cash but would accept USD and we took that with us. We also split any cash we take between us and some in our purse or wallet and some in each of our carry ons, unlikely new would lose it all.

bikerunner Posted December 28, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Im never concerned with what to take as my bank refunds me back any ATM charges each month. Main thing for cash is just the tips overall. Tho I will need to rethink that on a Transatlantic I have planned and will be staying in Italy for an additional week or so.
