S & S account question

[melanie1877]

Hi everyone,

I will be sailing on the pride on May 8, the Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay itinerary. We sailed this ship last year on the Port Canaveral, Nassau itinerary, and had a great time, so we are really excited to try out this more tropical itinerary. I have a question regarding our S and S accounts. Last year, we just attached credit cards to our accounts, so there was no issue. This year, we would like to do cash accounts. My question is this.....if we set up our accounts as cash accounts, and then say 2/3 of the way through the cruise, we realize that perhaps we are running short on cash, and would like to use our credit card, can we go to the purser's desk, and have a CC attached to our account at that time, or does the card have to be attached to the account at the beginning of the cruise? Thanks so much for your help, this site is a great place to come for information!!:)

We ended up using a credit card after using cash :)

It truly seemed like they didn't care how you paid, as long as you paid before you got off of the ship, lol.

Yep! Carnival will be happy to let you continue to spend money via a credit card. No issue. Just visit Guest Services and they'll handle the rest...
