Royal charge for cash adv from casino?

[sbyczko]

leaving on Mariner May 11

 

Read some posts few months back that Royal might start charing 2-3% for cash advances from the casino cashier starting this April?

 

Has anyone run into this? ship or fleet-wide?

 

was a nice plus not to have to carry so much cash specially if you like to play in the casino.

 

thanks!

At this time I don't think that RCI has started charging a fee for obtaining cash in the casino. If they had we would have heard about by now.:)

Just got back from Serenade of the Seas. No extra charge for taking money or chips out at the casino (other than what you 'donate' back :D ).

just checking to see if any one has run into this this since I originally asked..

 

leaving in a few days..

 

thanks!

Just back from Splendour and withdrew money against our SeaPass account in the Casino and no extra fee was charged.

No fee charged on the Enchantment a couple weeks ago.

I think we have another urban myth in the making. Only reports of such a charge have been of the "a friend of a friend told me" type. No first hand reports of such a charge but many reports to the contrary. This is definitely the kind of thing where, if it was happening, we would be getting inundated with reports and complaints.:rolleyes:

There was another thread where some folks had said they were charged 3% but it was unclear (at least to me) whether they had used their Sea Pass Acct or actually used a credit card (which I think does get charged a % for cash withdrawal).

Was on the EOS early april. No charge to get cash at the casino with my sea pass. I wanted to cry when I saw just how much money I lost. Take cash you can controll your gambling better.

Guess lots of us are getting skilled at determining whether something is true or is an urban myth in the world of cruising.

It *was* announced as a change for Celebrity.

 

No such announcement for RC.

Just off Sovergein and no extra charge for cash in the casino. Mind you the slots have all my advance. I do have 3 little plastic key chains as a reward for my spent money. Still better than a 3% charge.
