ngrund Posted October 8, 2023 #2 Share Posted October 8, 2023 You just need to charge the casino play to the cabin. Then you apply the gift card to your folio to pay the balance, I will usually add $500 to my on board account when I get on board, they add funds as needed, The AARP cards are digital, so you can upload them to Apple or Google Wallet, or just have the pdfs on your phone, or write down the #'s and pins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you play table games in a carnival casino, you can go up to the table and ask them to buy chips with a charge to your room. They will take your room key and then return it with your chips. Unfortunately, if you buy chips this way they will charge your room an extra 3 percent. However, Carnival doesn't charge this fee if you put money on the slot machine and charge that money to your room. Not sure why Carnival makes this distinction between table and slot games - sister lines like HAL and Princess don't charge any fees at all. Even if you only play table games (like I do) on Carnival though you can still avoid this fee. When the casino opens on the first night, I sit down at a slot machine, open an electronic account at the slot machine, charge something like $800 to my room, spin the machine a couple of times, go to the cage to pull out the $800 in cash from my new slot account, and then go to the table to buy chips with the cash. Saved me $24 in fees (less the buck maybe I lost in the two slot machine pulls . . . ). Edited October 8, 2023 by Petersonfcu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
