clerky96 Posted February 22, 2007 #1 Share Posted February 22, 2007 cashier without paying a fee? On RCL you can get cash from the casino cashier and it goes on your ship account. We would like to limit the amount of cash we take with us, but don't want to pay atm fees if we run short. Thanks for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcyjane Posted February 22, 2007 #2 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yes you can and it goes to your on board ship charges, sorry I can't remember if there was a charge but, I don't think so. Marcy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingbargains Posted February 22, 2007 #3 Share Posted February 22, 2007 i think cruise limit is $5000 and i think they do charge 3% fee, and it goes onto your shipboard account as a purchase, so you dont have to pay a "cash advance" fee when that amount is billed to your credit card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aces389 Posted February 22, 2007 #4 Share Posted February 22, 2007 The daily limit was $2,000 per day on the Spirit in January 2007. No fee for signing to your onboard account. Billed to your credit card at the end of the cruise just like your gift shop purchases. Good luck:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clerky96 Posted February 22, 2007 Author #6 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Thanks all! I am not talking about anything like $2000 or more!:eek: Just a few hundred if we should run short.:) I guess even if they charge 3% that would only be $3 per hundred, so that wouldn't break me!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnql Posted February 22, 2007 #7 Share Posted February 22, 2007 NCL doesn't charge a fee. You might be thinking about Princess, which does charge a 3% fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO FEE, thats great to hear John. yes, princes definitely has a 3% fee. ( and they made a lot of money off of me that way) :-) for some reason i thought i was charged the same last time i was on pride of america, but i could very well be wrong, and too many bills for me to look at to verify.

kdg51 Posted February 22, 2007 #9 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Does the Pride of America have a casino? I don't think so. I know that whe the Sky became the Pride of Aloha it's caino became something different. I always thought that $$$ from the casino had to be in tokens or chips? Maybe it has changed? All I know is that when Hubby locked the safe with his card I had to become creative! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Disney ships have no casinos also Happy Sailing, Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollysmom Posted February 22, 2007 #11 Share Posted February 22, 2007 cashier without paying a fee? On RCL you can get cash from the casino cashier and it goes on your ship account. We would like to limit the amount of cash we take with us, but don't want to pay atm fees if we run short. Thanks for the advice. In past experience, I have frequently gone to the cashier in the casino to receive cash. They normally ask if you play tables or slots but, since I can never decide I just get cash. There is a daily limit of (I believe) $2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochelle_s Posted February 23, 2007 #12 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Just back from the Dream and did see the cashier in the casino for cash. Just signed it to my onboard account. There was no fee for this. Whereas if you used the ATM the fee was $5.95 plus whatever your own bank charges. Nice bonus was I am able to get points for this from my credit card company.

sur Posted February 25, 2007 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Thank You for this information. $5.95 is a lot to pay to get money from the cash machine. It is nice to know you can get casino money from the cashier. We are traveling on the Sun 4/15/07 from New Orleans to Vancouver, Canada and this is one of the questions we had.

newmexicoNita Posted February 25, 2007 #15 Share Posted February 25, 2007 At this time (of course anything can change) only Princess and HAL charge for getting cash from the casino. Yes, they will ask you whether it is for the table or slots? Of course you will say slots and get cash. What you do with the cash is up to you. We almost always get extra from the casino the last night of the cruise. We don't have to carry as much cash with us, we can pay the CC charges when we get home, save the ATM cost and have enough cash for our trip back. Now, I have to admit I get cash for the slots as well. LOL Nita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossbabsy Posted March 2, 2007 #16 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Yes you can and it goes to your on board ship charges, sorry I can't remember if there was a charge but, I don't think so. Marcy On the NCL ships that we were on youwere able to take out $2,000 per day per person charged to yourshipboard account, no charge provided you had the available credit on the Credit card used to secure your shipboard credit account. Tha ATM in the casino had a sttep fee. I believe that you can cash one check a day at the pursers desk, not sure of the limit. We even take cash from the casino for our shore expenses and get points on our NCL credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdg51 Posted March 2, 2007 #17 Share Posted March 2, 2007 So, if we can still get $$$ from Casino without fees and I use my NCL credit card, I can tell my husband that I am on a mission (to get more points) and save my backup (Traveler's checks) for when I run out of money at the Casinos back home? :p When I have checks left over I label them for "entertainment" since I purchased them as vacation funds. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
