Not sure what the fee is in Europe (will find out in 8 days:)) but on the Gem it was $5 per transaction plus whatever your bank charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rydan Posted September 13, 2015 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The Breakaway was $5.50 and whatever your bank charges for international withdrawals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted September 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2015 You are much better off using a land ATM connected with a bank in the country you are visiting. There are no fees on using that bank only what YOUR bank will charge you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted September 13, 2015 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Depending on how much you need, you may be better off just taking from the casino against your account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no fees on using that bank only what YOUR bank will charge you. It also depends what currency you need?? You don't want to be stuck with 10000 pesos.

Rare sparks1093 Posted September 13, 2015 #10 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) @3% charge? $100 at 3% equals $103 $100 at atm equals $105 plus what your bank charges (believe mine is $2.75) So yes, it can be better to use the casino (all depends how much you need):) Edited September 13, 2015 by sparks1093 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted September 13, 2015 #11 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Propriatary ATM's (such as those on ships, 7-11's and retail places generally) invariably charge more than bank linked ones: usually $5 or more vs. the standard $3+/-. And many card issuers (my UBS for example) have no charge and refund up to $3 of other bank's fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 17, 2015 #13 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Ship ATM charges $5.50 for US dollars. Using an ATM on shore will give you local currency (US banks will charge international transaction fees for that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted September 17, 2015 #14 Share Posted September 17, 2015 yes, but I presumed the withdrawal would be more than $100, that wouldn't pay for more than a few drinks and a snack for two at most places That's what I took out for our day at Sea World, mostly for small purchases as larger purchases went on a card.

Well, unless you are accustomed to paying $5.50 a transaction, I'd say YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
