Ocean_Waves Posted November 10, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Question: We are leaving on the Jewel on 12-06-2014. As of now I have it set up for us to have a cash expense account. What does that mean when we get to the pier to board? Will they make me put a cash deposit down or put a credit card on file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanc78 Posted November 10, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2014 You can do either or. If you choose to put a CC down you can always settle your account with cash at the end of the week. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used cash account in April you don't have to do anything but once you charge certain amount they will call you down to pay money on it we never needed to put anything on it since we checked on it and paid towards end of cruisr Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 10, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I got told cash acc min $500 USD for them to put on your account, anything you don't use by end of cruise will be refunded Royal will allow you to charge $500 before they ask you to pay down the account. No cash is needed up front. Any charges must be paid off on the last evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted November 10, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) Oh so i dont actually have to put the 500 on it first? That's the way it works on the cruises we have been on. Note that we've never cruised out of Australia, so I suppose it's possible they could have different policies down under.

cb at sea Posted November 10, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 10, 2014 That's right...you'll check in, no money down, and if you start spending a bunch on the ship, they will ask you to put money toward those expenses, once you've hit $500 in spending.

Ahhh that sounds better to me haha. Only thing we'll be buying on ship is prob random drinks here and there. The drink packages I don't find worth it for us. Excursions we'll be paying before boarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcl410 Posted November 11, 2014 #11 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I would recommend giving them a CC number when checking in... Then, on the last day, you can pay off the current balance when it's not too crowded at Guest Services. The last purchase that night will then go on the card, with no need to go to the counter the last morning! Aloha, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted November 11, 2014 #13 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Go to Guest Relations and either Put up a CC then using your cash on hand, you can pay it off during the cruise up to final evening. They allow up to $500 then it will need to be paid. Guest Relations can get very crowded the final day of the cruise, so you might want to go earlier. If you already have a Cc on file thru Online checkin, you can change to another CC at guest relations. We did that once. I think some people have a CC on file then use their cash to pay it off.

Clarea Posted November 11, 2014 #15 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Do they allow register with a cc then pay by cash? Yes, just go to Guest Services the last night of the cruise and you can pay with cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
