Casino Cash Advance

[psubill78]

Just off of Ascent, and was able to pull $ off the room at zero surcharge on the slot machines.  Is this fleet wide, or a perk of the new ship, early sailings...

Will be on Silhouette in Feb, and will take less cash if this is an option.

If you're Onyx or higher I believe those fees are waived

I've never had any type of surcharge for charging casino play to my room.

For our just completed Solstice sailing, my wife did not incur any fees for charging against our cabin for her slot play. 

 

However for me, I paid a 5% fee for getting $500 in chips charged against our cabin.

That is what I thought I had heard as well, machines are zero cost, tables had a surcharge.

Thank you!!

Somehow unbeknownst to me I hit Onyx and was not charged for any monies I took off or room in Casino.   There is a limit on how much you take out and don't play that will lock you out of further withdraws  but I seem to hit that number just playing a bit on a slot I like.

I'm definitely not a big gambler even though I use to day trade - which many say is gambling.

Can you get on a slot machine, charge money to your cabin and then cash out for the money to use on the tables to avoid the surcharge?  
 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Yes. 100% that works

I was on the Celebrity Millenium sailing on July 2, 2024. I was playing craps and received $2,000.00 cash advance.

I am sailing on the Celebrity Millenium August 31, 2024. I requested a cash advance in the Casino of $1,000.00 to play craps. I was charged a 5% cash advance fee.

Looks like Onyx and above get the fee waived.  I know Zenith Captains Club and Suites also used to get ti waived, not sure now.

This is the way to do it. Take funds through a slot, print the slip and then cash it...

Lowly Pearl here for both of us and we were able to put $200 to the room charge on a slot machine with no charge. I do know that was all I could do as I tried later to see and it wouldn’t let me. I thought it was the amount we had in OBC but my wife was able to do it also.

The $200 limit is usually applied if no credit card is on file.

There was a credit card on file. Actually the celebrity cruises card from Bank of America. Nit sure why it was $200 but that’s fine as that was my limit anyway
