Using your credit card on Carnival to buy in

[blueskadoo]

Hey everyone! We're planning to go on our first Elite cruise soon, and was wondering about the charging of casino credit to the card- where it gets charged to the sail and sign. Can you put multiple cards on file? Can you dictate to the casino what card to use? We don't want it to get dinged as a cash advance and we're trying to avoid applying for a line of credit so thought taking a few cards would be a good work-around. Any experience or tips appreciated.

 

Thanks

Each person in cabin can have one credit card on file, but you can change the card during the cruise. I charge slot play to my Carnival card  which charges to whatever credit card is associated to it. I believe there is currently a 3% fee for this with tables but not slots. 
 

it doesn't show as a cash advance, just a normal carnival entertainment charge.

Yes you can use or change credit cards through out  the cruise.  Just go to Guest services 

 

No cash advance fee at all it shows as a Entertainment charge

I’ve been on over 25 premier, ultra, and elite carnival cruises over the last two years. If you are one of the guests under those promotions the casino will allow you to charge up to $7500 per day on your sign and sail card. The casino fees of 3% are waived. It will not show as a cash advance because it is charged to sign and sail, same as any purchase you make on board. The charge will post to your card a business day or two after debarked. You can rack up some serious airline miles or cash back on longer cruises...
