Questions about Fun Ship Dollars & Cash back

[PTcruisers]

Most of the money that will be applied to our sail & sign account will come from Fun Ship Dollars, does Carnival allow you to pull cash from your account if needed for port days?

 

Also will they deduct your tips from the Fun Ship Dollars? The back of the coupon says they won't. Has anyone had any trouble with this?

:confused:

i use funship dollars for tips. the back of the dollars will say that you have to send it in to get credit but you can take them with you.

 

If you want money off your account you go to the casino--use your sign & sail card in a slot machine to get cash for free

 

yu wont be able to go to the pursers desk and ask for cash from your account

We do the same. Like Serene says, they'll take your tip amount from your sign & sail - even if you use Funship $'s. Also, if you don't spend it all, they'll refund the difference on the last night with check under your door.

What are funship dollars and how do you get them?

[PTcruisers]

Thank you for your responses. Serene, if I go to the casino and upload $200 on to my players bank on a slot machine, then play $20, do I then cash $180 out? If so, will the machine spit the money out or do I just take my card to the cashier and get the money?

You can probably tell I never have any luck in the casino therefore I never have anything to cash out.: )

[PTcruisers]

Funship dollars are gift certificates. You can purchase them directly from Carnivals website. They're nice gifts. : )

 

Available in $25, $50, $100 and $500 denominations, customized Fun Ship Dollars can be used towards the purchase of a cruise or as an onboard credit.

Please note that if you do this, do it the night before you get to port! The casino will be closed the morning you dock...

You dont even have to play. Just upload 200.00 on your card then go to the cashiers desk to get your money.

 

Sign and sail and the casino credits are seperate- if you do this make sure you cash out the casino part the night before your cruise ends or you lose money,

 

Carnival ships have cashless machines. You can put money in but any winnings will go on your sign and sail card.

To get cash in most shipboard casino's these days involves a 3% fee. Can you really do this with no fees?

if you use your sign and sail card at the slot machines its free.

if you go to the cage and have the person do it for you yes--its 3%.

 

when the casino opens-- go to any slot machine and set up your card- the machine will show you what to do- you put your card in-- give your birthdate- and a pin code.. and there ya go.

 

just follow the directions and you are good to go.

None of this necessary. I was on the Pride sailing 2 weeks ago and all I did was go to the Purser's Desk and have them take cash from my account. I too used FunShip Dollars to secure my OBC so you should be able to do the same.

thats a first that I heard you were able to do this. It was not too long ago someone posted that the pursers desk wouldnt even give them 10 bucks so they can grab a cab to get to western union to get more money.

I think (and this is an assumption) that it depends on the source of the OBC. My OBC came from my own pocket in the form of FunShip Dollars that I paid for and applied to my account. I believe there are other sources of OBC such as specials/sales. That could be why. But again, I'm just guessing.

We put money in OBC using funship dollars - the last night of the cruise we went to pursers desk & cashed out the rest on the account or they will cut you a check the am you leaVE THE SHIP,
