Shore excursions

[rubydo]

If you book shore excursions before you go on a cruise with Carnival are they charged as a debit to your S&S account or do you have to give your credit card number or can you send money for your S&S account before you go. I would appreciate some idea of what is the better way to go.

I have to be honest and say that I hate using my charge card because the rate of exchane on the money is much more than if I go to the bank, get a bank draft when the $ is higher, and send it, the charges are almost non-existent if I do it this way (depending on what type of account you have) but it takes a minimum of 6 working days for express post to go from Canada to Miami.:confused:

Booking online required me to enter a credit card number. Not sure if there are other options.

As far as I remember, on our cruise we signed up for excursions online, I didn't have to enter a credit card, and it was put on our S&S account.

 

Things may have changed in the past couple years, but that's what I remember.

Sorry but now you have to pay for them at the time of booking with a CC. Gone are the days of putting on your account a head of time. Now if you book on the ship when you get there then it will go on your S&S account.
