I just stumbled upon this while trying to help someone in another thread.

Not only that, but for some time now, they have to be ordered well ahead of sail date to be effective.  IIRC, two weeks ahead will do it.  Used to be just a few days, like other things such as water or internet orders.

Thanks. I did manage to bill to my room onboard but once I cashed out slot pull, I was blocked. Will bring a stack of $1 for payout in the future and adjust my onboard account as needed. (This was a new issue I ran into on 8/15/21 cruise and I know me ---- I'll let the funds ride until last night)

No need to bring singles.  The cashier will gladly take your $20's and give you change.  There's no service charge either (haha).  They will get it all in the long run.

Yeah I just stick it back in. I might not be laying any cash out for the cruise but ~~~~

 I'm sitting here in my hotel room waiting for tomorrows cruise:   I'm trying to understand what you are saying....I don't quite understand.   I'm sailing on a casino promotion and have some free comped money to spend.   Can you please explain this better to me.

This is exactly what happened to me and where I went wrong:

1. Informed casino mgr that I was running a slot pull

2. Collected money from slot pull players

3. Charged room for that amount.

4. Set $ aside to pay bill (in back pocket) because I wanted to repay PSD what I put on my room for slot pull.

5. Ran slot pull

6. Cashed out and distributed 

7. Repaid $$s to PSD

8. Went back to casino

What was new in August 2021:

9. Tried to load with just my funds ($100)

10. Blocked out until casino mgr cleared me

 

Casino is stopping people from using it as an ATM

Ok, now I understand the slot pull part (thank you).   

 

So, in other words, if I need money to go onshore, and go to the casino to get a $100, I need to use the ATM or charge to my cabin the $100 and play a couple hands and then cash out....correct?
