Suesancy Posted April 27, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi - I wonder whether one of you experienced Celebrity cruisers might be able to help me. Although we are seasoned cruisers we are new to Celebrity. Joining Eclipse in June for a Baltic cruise and really looking forward to the experience. I have just been onto the Celebrity site to input our personal information etc., and am slightly confused by the information there with regard to paying our onboard account. It reads as though we have a choice - either paying by card - details of which we should input - or paying by cash. What I had planned on doing was paying by card - inputting our card details - but then if we had any US dollars left towards the end of the cruise - using them to reduce the final balance. Will we still be able to do this if we open a card account? Many thanks in advance, Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontario Cruiser Posted April 27, 2010 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Yes you can do that. I do it all the time. Make sure when you are filling out your Xpress Pass (just in case you leave any balance to be charged) to check off "B "then the conversion is done by your credit card company not Celebrity.

kampinguru Posted April 27, 2010 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2010 You will need to get down to the guest relations desk the night before debarkation to add cash to your account. The lineups can be quite long in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phxazzcruisers Posted April 27, 2010 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2010 You can also pay down the balance with cash at any time during the cruise especially if you do not want to wait until the last day. Then they will only put the remaining balance on your card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suesancy Posted April 27, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Thanks so much for your replies...this seems to be the same procedure as Princess and P & O - the companies I have sailed with in the past. It just slightly threw me that they asked whether you wanted a "Card Account" or a "Cash Account". Thanks again - one less worry, Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make your life easier stop @ the Pursers Desk a day or so prior to the end of the cruise & ask for a print out of charges. Take to your cabin & review it. Then decide how much USD you want to put aside to pay vs using CC Carole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
