databass Posted February 20, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2006 I will be on Rhapsody at the end of April. I am planning on putting cash down for the onboard account. Is there a set limit on how much I have to put down to secure the Seapass/onboard account? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helicopter Posted February 21, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 21, 2006 There is no limit, they will take whatever you give them. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanditoes4 Posted February 21, 2006 #4 Share Posted February 21, 2006 We also did cash. They said we could charge up to $500 before they asked for a payment and so called "froze" the account!!! We put the first payment down on the 3rd day and then paid it off at the end!!! Hope it helps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nliedel Posted February 21, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 21, 2006 $250.00 for a 7 day cruise is in the brochure and $450.00 for a ten day cruise. We dropped like $750.00 for the 4 of us (two adults and 2 monsters) and it was more than enough. We got money back at the end. It was very quick and VERY painless.

Is there a set limit on how much I have to put down to secure the Seapass/onboard account? Thanks. On my first cruise I gave them $250 and still got $ back.

Kevbear Posted February 22, 2006 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2006 We do cash on all the cruises and have the wonderful feeling of no debt when we get home! We have always been told we can put down $'s at the start or just charge up to the $500 limit when we would need to cough up the $'s. New rule... when you take your mother and sister and tell them they are on your account... watch the TV account closely, very closely... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loliznel Posted March 6, 2006 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I'm a newbie and am going on my first cruise on AOS in 1 week - 03/12/06. Can someone explain in detail about using cash for the account? If I'm understanding it right, if you don't want to give out your credit card information, you can put down a certain amount of money at the beginning and whatever you don't use you get back at the end, right? If so, how long does it take to get back? Do they give it back before you debark or do they mail you a refund? Are there long lines to get back the money if you can do it on the ship? What if you go over before the trip is over? Can you add money to your account? Do they penalize you for this? Any info. is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You receive cash right from the purser's desk, either the last night of the cruise or the morning you dock. The lines can be long, but not always. You can at anytime add $ to your onboard account. Keep in mind, the cruiseship wants you to SPEND! while you're held captive on the boatt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
