Thanks for your input, All. Much appreciated and query answered.

Purchases via the Planner are charged and paid for immediately.

 

I believe these costs are in AUD.

Hi All,

I have been researching this issue, including via TA and receiving conflicting information, so thought I'd come straight to the experts!

Our first RC cruise (having experienced P&O and Carnival) is booked for South Pacific in Nov. I am in the habit for all cruises of registering a credit card for onboard purchases, but also take a wad of cash which I use to whittle down the final c/c balance. For our RC cruise I am currently collecting USD for this purpose so that I am in control of what exchange rate I am getting and not RC, or my bank in five months time.

So, my question is in relation to using RC's Cruise Planner for purchasing drink packages, shore excursions etc, as I have to enter my c/c details when booking these. Will my c/c be charged at the time I purchase these online, or am I merely 'booking' them and they will be charged to my onboard account?

This will obviously greatly influence how much USD currency I need to purchase and take onboard. In fact, I will be quite satisfied if I can have these options all booked and paid prior to sailing.

Thanks in advance.
