LoLa_in_GA Posted April 13, 2006 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hi, We're taking a cruise in this summer(c'mon july!). It's my husband's first, my second. I was trying to surprise him and pay for as much of the 'extras' as i could on my own (Happy Anniversary!). I was planning on getting a visa gift card and use that and use with our credit card (as a back up for when it runs out) for our SeaPass charges. Has anyone ever done this? Or should I just call RC and ask them if they will accept it? I don't see why they wouldn't..... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribbean dreams Posted April 13, 2006 #2 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I have never tried it myself but i was told you can not use a gift card or debit card, now don't take this as law, call and find out and let us know the answer, if you can use them that i have a few gift cards laying around i could use.

breenw Posted April 13, 2006 #3 Share Posted April 13, 2006 You can definitely use your debit card or a check card. As long as it says Mastercard or Visa, or American Express it is accepted. We cruise all the time and use our debit card - no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankersbabe Posted April 13, 2006 #4 Share Posted April 13, 2006 As far as I know, you cannot use a Visa or Mastercard gift card that does not have your name embossed on it. The ship purser will NOT accept it. I would suggest Travellers Checks if you don't want to load up your credit card. Stef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted April 13, 2006 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I know that the AMEX Travelcard cannot be used onboard cruise ships, it states it directly in the fine print. I don't know about the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef Darn, i guess i won't be digging out all those Visa gift cards, i will have to go on a shopping spree to use them all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
