Rare CruisinCrow Posted August 1 #1 Share Posted August 1 I already did the online check in but I don't see any place where I can add my credit card information for the sign and sail card. Is that something we have to do at the port or after we get on the ship? We'll be on Seashore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted August 1 #2 Share Posted August 1 (edited) There are kiosks various places around guest services and the deck above where you can do this. Even when you are offered the opportunity to add it online, it may not take and have to be done own the ship. If it seems to have taken but you are t sure you can go to one of the machines with your ship card and credit card, place your ship card on the screen and it will tell you if you already have a card registered.

Two Wheels Only Posted August 1 #3 Share Posted August 1 Even if you register you card on the ship, there's no real rush to do so. You don't have to wait on the line to register your card right after embarkation. You can do it at night or the next day when there are no lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can now add cc information once on ship and on the App, it was very easy to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CruisinCrow Posted August 1 Author #9 Share Posted August 1 I think I was able to add the credit card using the app. We'll see if it worked when we get onboard. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoyagerN Posted August 2 #12 Share Posted August 2 I want to complete my online check in to get my boarding pass , but doesn't let me finish it. When opening 'credit card' section, app just goes white and doesn't respond. But on the main page I see a tick near "complete check in". But I don't see a tick near "view boarding pass".

Is that something we have to do at the port or after we get on the ship? We'll be on Seashore. There are some kiosks on board. It is veeeeeery easy to do it. They will charge 250$ (or 250€, depending on the ship) to your card and it will be refunded after the bill is done. It is enough to do once for all passengers in the same cabin. Once you have done, you cannot change to another card Important.... you can do it until second day by 23:00. After it, your cruise card will be blocked. (you do not have to do the first thing you do after embarking. Just do not forget it) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamieLogical Posted August 2 #15 Share Posted August 2 You can call and pre-pay your daily service charge over the phone prior to sailing. There is just no way to pre-pay it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertha Posted August 6 #19 Share Posted August 6 Somewhat related question. My sisters and I are all in same cabin. Three of us. Can we each add a credit card to allow each of our charges and gratuities to go to our individual cards? thx... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicale Posted August 10 #21 Share Posted August 10 Download the MSC and Me app. I did before we left for the port and I added it there. You can link people to it. You can also upload a better pic of yourself if the one you originally took looked like an inmate pic! My laptop took a pic when I wasn't even ready and on the app you can retake it. They also take a new one anyway at the port when you check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you scan your cruise card at the kiosk you will be presented with the list of persons in that cabin to be included on the credit card you are registering. You select the names then continue with the process. If you do it this way each person in the cabin not selected must then register a credit card. BTW, this is also the way you can block children from charging. Don’t select their names when registering your credit card for that cabin. or you can choose to stand in line at Guest Services the night before disembarkation. 😟. Clearly not the preferred solution in my mind. if you do not want to register a credit card, or do not have one, you may ‘deposit’ cash on your ship account. There are specific kiosks that will accept cash, like an ATM. Or you can stand in line at Guest Services. ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
