Rare CruiserKris34 Posted January 7, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 7, 2023 During on-line Check-In, it said "Your card will be pre-authorized for $420 on the day of departure". Is that a random amount? I know that I will owe the tips of 100pp & there are 2 of us. Thanks! Kris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare *Miss G* Posted January 7, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 7, 2023 HAL pre-authorizes $60/day per person. Sounds like you’re on a 7-day cruise. $60x7=$420 Only the charges shown on your statement at the end of the cruise will be put through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BetsyS. Posted January 7, 2023 #3 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Miss G - Do you know if it's $60/day per person for a longer cruise (35 days)? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA Sorry, I have not yet been on a cruise that long but I thought I’d seen a post where the hold amount is less. Perhaps one of the Grand Voyagers or World Cruisers could answer your question.

TIA It is $30 per day for longer cruises, I believe starting at 30 days but I'm not 100% sure of when it starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you are close to your card limit, you may have a problem purchasing items in port. The ship won't charge anything on the account until the final statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakepatrol Posted January 7, 2023 #9 Share Posted January 7, 2023 If you want to avoid this, click paying cash when checking in and bring cash to the front desk when you board. When/ if your cash runs out during cruise they will let you know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
