Obtaining Cash On Majesty

[jackpine]

We will be cruising with NCL for the first time on the Majesty in May '06 for our honeymoon. We have cruised before, just not with NCL.

 

I have a question about getting cash while on board. I know that other cruise lines (i.e. RCCL & CCL) will let you use your "onboard account card" to obtain cash (with no fee) in the casino. Does NCL also allow this? This is a much safer way of having cash; by not having to keep large sums of cash in your stateroom for the entire cruise.

 

What does NCL call their onboard cards? The only info I could find on their web site states "NCL's special onboard credit program"???

 

Any info would be great.

 

Thanks

NCL does allow you to take up to $1000 per day in cash, charged to your cabin account at the casino.

We got cash from the casino on Crown a couple of weeks ago. It was a bit more complicated than our experience on RCCL and Celebrity, where the cashier simply handed us the cash and charged it to our room. I went to the cashiers window where she took my room card and filled out paperwork. I then had to take the paper to a table and request chips. A pit boss had to be called to handle the paperwork. I was then given the chips. I took the chips to the cashiers window and exchanged them for cash. They knew exactly what I was doing, so don't know why we had to jump through all the hoops. We'll be on Majesty in a couple weeks. We'll see if their process is any easier.

I would be interested in knowing how it worked out for you.

 

Please keep me posted.

I charged $300 to my onboard account one time on a recent Jewel cruise, and they only asked if I was playing slots or table games. I guess the key may have been that I said I was playing slots. I simply signed a slip, and they handed me the cash.

I cashed American Express Travelers checks at the Perser's window-----no problem.

You can sign for cash on your room account or use the ATM in the casino. I can't remember the fee for the ATM, but there isn't a fee to get cash on your room account. If you feel like gambling, the tables are great. I won $2K on blackjack on our last night back in August and paid off our onboard credit plus had money left for back to school shopping!!:eek:
