Getting $$$ on board Riviera

[katz]

I don't want to carry a lot of cash on our pre-cruise days and would like to wait until I am on board to get my "fun money" for the casino. Does th ship have ATM's and what is the charge, or is there a casino cashier?

 

Thanks for your help.

The Reception Desk will supply the cash and charge it to your shipboard account. There is a 5% charge i believe. Bear in mind that you can pay that account (and most usually do unless there is a big win in the casino - good luck!) with a CC so it is like taking a cash advance on your CC but and the 5% replaces the CC cash advance fee or 'instant interest'.

 

They supply (some) foreign currencies as well which can be convenient if you want a small amount of cash and not hunt for an inexpensive ATM nearby. Depending on your bank's ATM fees a small amount from the ship can be more reasonable than a per transaction fee from your bank.

they will also cash travellers checks for you. our bank doesn't charge us for them,so we always get some. However,they are almost impossible to cash off the ship. But the ATMs are better for that anyway.
