xyankee Posted May 23 #1 Share Posted May 23 Trying to determine how much cash to bring on my cruise. Can cash for use in the casino, on both table games and slot machines, be charged to my on board account? Something tells me the answer is no but wanted to check here before I decide.

The answer is - Yes, you can charge your gambling to your onboard account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted May 23 #4 Share Posted May 23 Yes, the casino takes cash at bot the slots and tables. The casino will also charge play to your onboard account if that is what you wish. At the slots you just scan your medallion and select the amount to be charged. At table games you provide your medallion to the dealer and request an amount to be charged to your on board account. Once approved after a few minutes the dealer will provide you with the chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkb15732 Posted June 7 #10 Share Posted June 7 I'm wondering if someone can tell me the steps if I have Princess gift cards and don't spend them all and want to cash them out how I do so. Since I'm not a gambler (not since my first cruise in 1987) I'm not familiar with how it works to upload to Casino and then cash out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can go to guest services and they will apply them to your account as refundable OBC. You can go to the casino and use your medallion to charge an amount to your account. You can then cash out and go to cashier for cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the slots with the medallion do you need to set up your account even with cash so when you cash out it goes on your medallion? I can't remember how I did this in 2022 I only went in the early AM because it's to Smokey later in the day. I think it worked like the cabin card use to but not sure.

Yes. You have to set up an account by scanning your medallion. Slot payouts are to your account. You cash out your account at the cashier. With table games there is no account. You just carry your chips to the cashier to trade for cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you wasn't positive about this and plan a few morning trips to donate my OBC gift or some of it 😁 and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
