Question about getting Cash in Casino

[Jenfs5]

Is it possible to get cash off of your sail and sign card in the casino? If so is there a limit as to how much or is that dependant on your credit card? And if you can do it is there a charge? I think I remember being able to get it off my card on RCCL with no fee, but I could be mistaken.

 

Thanks

They charge a percentage just like if you were buying chips with it. I think it is 1%.

Carnival charges 3%.

Well that is good, at least I can do it. The reason I want to do it is because I paid for both my and my friends cruise and she was going to pay for everything on board. But the price has come down and now we will have an on board credit and I dont think that I could have spend enough on board to equal the amt of her part of the cruise. So I will just get some cash to try and balance it out. Thanks guys.

Best way to get cash in the casino is to WIN! Every other way incurs a cost.

 

Cash or adds to your S&S card incur a 3% fee. ATM cash [if available] is $5. something plus any charges by your bank. So if you want $300.00 or more then the ATM is cheaper. But they tend to run out.

It is 3% service fee and you can get $1000.00 a day per guest

You are correct that RCCL lets you use your card to get cash without a fee.

Hi,

 

That's the question. Do they charge for cashing traveler's checks?:confused:

 

Thanks!

Casino (slots) still like cash, yes?

They will take all the cash you wish to donate

For UK visitors I have found the best way of avoiding the healthy exchange rates and bank charges is to pin it into your 'spend and spend' acount - that way we only get one charge on return

I believe I've seen others post that if you have excess OBC, you will receive a check for the balance at the end of the cruise.

 

Also, remember that you can charge excursions (if booked on-board). I'm amazed at how many things I can find to spend money on while on the ship. Even without a large alchohol component.

Sign and Sail account

Sign and Sail account

 

I still prefer "Drink and Sink" ... :D

[LSUcajunmom]

One cruise, we couldn't stop referring to it as a "Sip & Sail" card.:o

[compman9]

We always call it the Spend and Spend account, it appears lots of people have different names for it.

 

Mind you, we call the ATM a Magic Money Machine - this little piece of plastic wins every time I put it in, far better than the slots!

Ok, this might sound like a silly question, but do the slot machines accept coins, ie: quarters, nickeles, pennies ? Or do they just use tokens ?
