on board acc't question

[jdfloyd]

Does princess charge your credit card daily or is everything done in one "billing" at the end of the cruise?

one billing at the end of the cruise

[mcornish]

There is one billing at the end of your cruise, not a daily billing

Thank you for your quick responses!! So we will see a one time fee for all our expenses but have a breakdown of all costs such as excursions, gratuities and other onboard expenses on our final bill?

One billing, unless you buy future cruise credits, and those get charged immediately to your card separately from your onboard account.

Yes, there will be entries for each day regarding hotel charges, onboard purchases, excursions, etc. with a total for each person.

I would also suggest that you ask for a copy of your bill the day prior to disembarkation. There was a cruise where we were charged for things we did not buy. Much easier to "clear up" things before the last morning.

The last day you will get a copy of the bill for your account. It will list each charge.

This is an excellent suggestion. We have had faulty charges, as well. They are easy to clear up when there is no line, but a hassle when there IS a line!

One thing to be aware of is that while only the final amount is actually charged, a "hold" is placed daily on your card for the amount current as of that day. I don't know if that's done on every account or only those above a particular amount. Most credit card companies release the hold within 24 hours but some don't for several days. If you are using a debit card, this could present a credit problem if you're using the card while in port and your funds are limited.
