Rare AtSeaWithChris Posted February 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I’ve seen a lot of talk about charges for getting money to use in the casino. I know there is an ATM but does that charge $7 per transaction? Or 7% of total? If you use your band to pull money in to your casino account from your onboard account do they hit you with 7% charge? If you have sailor loot they do not charge you right? Can someone that knows for sure chime in? Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarter4551 Posted February 13, 2023 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2023 From what I remember, the ATM is a fixed fee regardless of amount withdrawn. If you charge your room via your band then there is a transaction fee. The fee is waived, however, if you are sailing in the suites and have that VIP arm band. I am sailing in April on a casino-comp cruise and wondering if they waive transaction fees for invited guests like other cruise lines will do, but I am not counting on it so taking cash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_tacocat_ Posted February 13, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 13, 2023 we thought the 7% fee for room charges was for all non-suite guests doing any sort of transaction to their folio or against their sailor loot, but the last time we were on, the cashier said sailor loot transactions don't incur a fee. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarter4551 Posted February 13, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I can't speak to sailor loot as I didn't try or think to use it in the casino. I just know about the transaction fee (and waiver for suite guests) for charging your room to get chips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the fee is waived for invited casino guests. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted February 16, 2023 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2023 To be clear, it is a way to cover the credit card surcharges (2-3%) and I guess make a little money as well. ATMs are always a fixed amount PER TRANSACTION. If you do a cash advance via ATM - you are gonna get screwed over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
