Rosco722 Posted February 3, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Does anyone know if you can check your on-board account on the tv, like you can do in hotels? Sometimes the lines at the desk are soooo long with people just waiting to get a print-out of their account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And my understanding is they have no plans to impliment it in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morriscats Posted February 3, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 3, 2009 No, you can't. We usually go a couple of times during the cruise to get printouts of our statements. Wish they would offer this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billet Posted February 3, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 3, 2009 the onboard reservation system is antique but works for the staff. I have not heard that there is any intention of upgrading it to offer an TV interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalpert Posted February 3, 2009 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2009 If you could check your account on the TV it would be too easy to see how much you've been overspending and people would cut back :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted February 3, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2009 If you could check your account on the TV it would be too easy to see how much you've been overspending and people would cut back :-)I doubt that's the reason since it's so easy to go and get a printout (which I prefer) but more likely, it's an expensive system to implement (and prone to errors from what I hear) and there's little demand or few requests for it. Why spend money on something people don't say they want? I very rarely encounter lines at the Pursar's Desk so it's very quick and easy to get a printout. Then you have something in hand to refer to if you have any questions. I do like HAL's system whereby a printout of your onboard account is sent to your cabin the day before disembarkation so that if you have questions, you can take care of them then.

jalpert Posted February 3, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I was just joking... I didn't really think that, hence the smiley.

paul929207 Posted February 3, 2009 #10 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I wish they would. It would be so much easier to sit n your cabn and view the bill. Towards the end of the cruise,the lines build at the Purser's Desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
