ciderboy Posted January 8, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hi I read somewhere that they take your credit card details on your first day on the ship, and you settle the account/bill at the end of your cruise. Does this account you set up go for all costs on the ship.....ie excursions, drinks at bar etc, etc Also is there a surcharge for using your credit card .....as so many companies thrown this extra 1-3% charge on cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwgolf Posted January 8, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 8, 2010 You set up an account on board and all costs - drinks, excursions etc, are charged to this. You can either give them your credit card details at the start of the cruise ,against which the account costs will be charged ,or deposit some cash - around £200, I think. Everything is then settled up at the end of the cruise. It works very well and there is no surcharge for using a credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smee Posted January 8, 2010 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2010 As vwgolf said everything is charged to a card they give you on day one, its just like a credit card in size and shape and you present this every time you want to purchase anything on the ship...........:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judybo57 Posted January 11, 2010 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2010 According to the Thomson web site there is a small charge if you pay by credit card. But not if you pay by debit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something new? We didn't pay any extra when we were on the Destiny in June. I know you have to pay extra if you pay for your holiday with a credit card, but didn't think you had to pay extra to settle your account.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's for paying for the holiday itself. Just back off the Island Escape last month and no charge for paying ship board account by C.C.

Cymro1953 Posted January 11, 2010 #8 Share Posted January 11, 2010 It's them that want us to use a C.C. for settling bills. It would be acheek to try and slap a charge on top of the bill for using it. Berwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
