Anthem - Seapass with no credit card?

[familycruzer]

My son and fiance are taking an Anthem cruise but do not have a credit card.

 

Will a debit/visa card work?

 

Can he put cash down at guest services and if so how much per person does he need to place for a 7 night cruise?

He can use a cash account with nothing down. Up to $500 can be charged before having to pay it down. Settle the account with cash on last night.

You can put down cash. Details are here: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/customersupport/faq/details.do?pagename=frequently_asked_questions&faqId=265&faqSubjectId=337

No money down needed, Royal allows each account to charge up to $500 before they ask the account to be paid down.

I called RC prior to asking here and was told he needed to deposit $500 on day 1 per guest in the room. I thought that was a bit much ...

I wouldn't use a debit card as a hold they (RCI) put's on these types of cards can limit the use and take a certain period of time to release the hold. Not worth taking the chance.

 

They can set up their account as a cash account....you don't have to put any amount down but when you reach $500.00 they will call you to come to guest services...at that time they can pay the account down with cash.

Another example of incorrect information being given out by Royal's reps. We have done many cruises using a cash account and never had to out any money down. The information given by previous posters is correct.

 

Just to clarify though, you can charge up to $500 for 7 day and longer cruises while for cruises 6 days or less you can only charge up to $300 before being asked to pay down your account.

I went on Majesty with a pre-paid Visa. I thought I lost the one with my name (found it later) and they wouldn't take the one with a name of "Valued Customer". I asked them to establish a cash account. Let me on board. I went to the ATM, withdrew $300, paid at Customer Service. Never had a problem.They just asked me how much I wanted to pay ahead of time. Didn't make me pay $500.
