sbyczko Posted April 22, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2008 leaving on Mariner May 11 Read some posts few months back that Royal might start charing 2-3% for cash advances from the casino cashier starting this April? Has anyone run into this? ship or fleet-wide? was a nice plus not to have to carry so much cash specially if you like to play in the casino. thanks!

Cruising89143 Posted April 22, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 22, 2008 At this time I don't think that RCI has started charging a fee for obtaining cash in the casino. If they had we would have heard about by now.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostinplace Posted April 22, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Just got back from Serenade of the Seas. No extra charge for taking money or chips out at the casino (other than what you 'donate' back :D ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisenfever Posted May 4, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Just back from Splendour and withdrew money against our SeaPass account in the Casino and no extra fee was charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelJ Posted May 4, 2008 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2008 No fee charged on the Enchantment a couple weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negc Posted May 4, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I think we have another urban myth in the making. Only reports of such a charge have been of the "a friend of a friend told me" type. No first hand reports of such a charge but many reports to the contrary. This is definitely the kind of thing where, if it was happening, we would be getting inundated with reports and complaints.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiecruiser09 Posted May 4, 2008 #8 Share Posted May 4, 2008 There was another thread where some folks had said they were charged 3% but it was unclear (at least to me) whether they had used their Sea Pass Acct or actually used a credit card (which I think does get charged a % for cash withdrawal).

bambidrummer Posted May 5, 2008 #9 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Was on the EOS early april. No charge to get cash at the casino with my sea pass. I wanted to cry when I saw just how much money I lost. Take cash you can controll your gambling better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisesOnMyMind Posted May 5, 2008 #15 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Just off Sovergein and no extra charge for cash in the casino. Mind you the slots have all my advance. I do have 3 little plastic key chains as a reward for my spent money. Still better than a 3% charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
