Anyone else experience wire transfer prior to cruise?

We set sail in a week but leave in a few days for our upcoming cruise on symphony of the seas in Europe.

I usually bring cash and take money off my cards but figured it would be easier since flying to Europe to just wire my bankroll to the casino like I do when I go to Vegas.

After doing so i called to confirm they received it and It seemed RCCL casino doesnt get a lot of wire transfers. Anyone else ever use with feature on rccl or other cruise lines? Hopefully everything is all set when we board and I'll have access to my money. Lol

Answered your table max question, may as well take a stab at this one too!

I bet you are correct, RCCL casinos do not receive much front money wired to them. Here's likely why (their program is constantly changing, but this is the gist of how it's historically been):

If you gamble decent during a cruise, you get "VIP" type status for future cruises. This eliminates any fees for taking money from your sea pass (room charge) and/or credit card purchases at the cage. So, you can fully max your credit cards for no fee. Great, right?

Because of this, there is no real advantage to front money. If you lose, at least you're getting points/cash back on your cc and have some time to pay it off. If you win, you can always pay your room account in cash (essentially paying off markers) and walk off the ship with your winnings. Or just walk off with all the money, and pay your cc later.

Most people who play big enough to consider (or even know about) wiring money ahead of time are likely not paying the fee (5% I think), so it's of limited usefulness to them.
