SxyEbnyFem Posted December 8, 2004 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2004 The website claims this card isn't permitted for use for onboard cruise purchases. I have read on this board & others that they were accepted without any problems as payment for the S&S card as well as use for the ATMs onboard various Carnival ships. I am curious to know if you have purchased & used this pre-paid card onboard a Carnival cruise and if you had any trouble doing so. Thanks in advance. Happy sailing, T.

CruiseFever Posted December 8, 2004 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2004 You bet. Unless something's changed in the last month should be no problem. The way Carnival put it to me was "Anything with a VISA, Mastercard or American Express logo on it works" That goes for the travel funds card, debit/check cards and credit cards too.

serene56 Posted December 8, 2004 #3 Share Posted December 8, 2004 You probably misunderstood- the card can not be used in the shops, or casino etc.. it can be used at the pursers desk on your account. No card except the sign and sail card can be used for purchases onboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SxyEbnyFem Posted December 8, 2004 Author #4 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Thanks for the info! I will pass this along to those who are in my group that were discussing this pre-paid card at the last poker game. I love this board and "being in the know!" :D Happy sailing, T.

Stircrzy Posted December 8, 2004 #6 Share Posted December 8, 2004 We sailed on the Elation in August 2004. I used the TravelFunds card for ATM withdrawals onboard and for off-ship purchases. I used a credit card to guarantee my S&S card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
