colababy Posted March 10, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 10, 2006 My credit card has a 1-3% international surcharge for purchases made in places other than US and territories. What about on a cruise? (Carnival western carribean cruise). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discjoker Posted March 10, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2006 If using your credit card on the ship, no there will not be a conversion fee. Everything is priced in US dollars, your card will be charged in US dollars and the processing is done in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelbugs Posted March 10, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Does that apply to a European cruise as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discjoker Posted March 11, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Does that apply to a European cruise as well? If it is a US based cruiseline, then generally yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colababy Posted March 11, 2006 Author #5 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I thought the cruise companies are all registered in the Bahamas or something, so I'd have to get charged the 1%. The credit card company I emailed was soo ambiguous about the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherylandtk Posted March 11, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 11, 2006 The ship is registered in a foreign country, but the company is headquartered in Miami. Your charges from the ship will be in US dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
