coldflame Posted December 9, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Hey Folks, Does Norwegian allow to get cash for casino against my stateroom bill -- not asking about ATMs, directly from casino --? Or do we need to bring cash with us? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaggoB Posted December 9, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2022 You can charge it to your room and you are charged $3 by NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaggoB Posted December 9, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 9, 2022 My wife pulled $200 from a slot machine on the Bliss two weeks ago and they charged our credit card $3. Maybe we were lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julig22 Posted December 9, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 9, 2022 3% charge, charged as a US travel purchase. So no foreign fees (US) plus any travel points your card gives you. If you have the NCL card you get 3x points, so it's a wash because you can get the fees back as a statement credit. ATM fee is $5.95 for comparison.

Treasure Hunter Posted December 9, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Bring cash. Then you know how much you are going to lose. The temptation to keep charging to your room is dangerous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temptation to keep charging to your room is dangerous! I use casino cash to pad my NCL card points that I use for upgrades. My bank doesn't give me anything extra if I just get cash before I leave, CC points may have benefits such as frequent flier points, sometimes at even a higher rate than 3%. Just something to consider, obviously only a good thing if you always pay off your balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treasure Hunter Posted December 9, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I got carried away on a Princess cruise and kept charging $20 before I knew it I had a $1200 bill. I learned my lesson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaaty Posted December 9, 2022 #11 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I apply in advance for a casino credit (marker). This way I know my budget for the cruise. Sadly, I've yet to not have to write a check at the end of the cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kollegekreed Posted December 9, 2022 #12 Share Posted December 9, 2022 ATM fee is like $8….so depends on amount. Cheaper to take $500 out of ATM then bill $500 to your room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we were lucky. Ok, maybe that was something different. I didn't know you could charge a CC directly in the casino. Usually the change is to your onboard account and this is where you would see the 3% charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if your CC gives statement credit for travel purchases. With a 3% rebate, net charge for fees is zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
