On Board Account

[dbelmo]

I am completing my Online Check-In... and have a question...

This is my first time on NCL... If I select CASH account... can I change to credit card prior to boarding or while on board if needed?

 

Thank you.

yes. depending on the port, you can do this at check in. Or you can visit the guest service desk on board the ship

You can change your settlement method at any time. The ship's expectation if you choose a cash account is as follows:

 

A cash deposit may be placed on your onboard account in the following amounts:

7 day cruises - $300 USD per person
Less than 7 days - $150 USD per person
More than 7 days - $450 USD per person

Once you have exceeded the deposited amount, your account will be closed to further charges. You can deposit as much money as often as you'd like throughout the cruise, however, refunds cannot be made until the day of disembarkation for any excess.

**Personal checks will not be accepted, nor can they be cashed on board.

Whatever you do don't use a Debit Card.   It will likely tie up money for up to 30 days.

do you have to go to guest services for any cash deposit left or will they send check in mail if you don't cash out onboard?

I believe if you have cash left over, you need to go settle up your account with guest services either late the night before (before closing) or in the morning.  We always do a credit card as it's just easier and would rather earn the points/bonus/etc.  Can then just pay off the balance with the cash we would have used for the cruise.

We invariably put down a large sum in cash at the start of the cruise especially when we have to pay for shorex.  Then on the penultimate day I go to the Customer Services desk and they pay me out in cash.

If you don't cash out the last night, they will send you a check for the overage.  After sailing the Escape last year, I had about $100 left in my account.  I received a check from NCL about a week later.
