Hello, does Carnival have ATM's onboard, and how much is the surcharge for using them? Thank you.

Yes they do have ATM's, but I am not sure what the surcharge is

[bsdmhutch]

On the Destiny last week the service fee to cash a check was 5.5% (5.50 if less than $100). I didn't try and ATM withdrawal, but I am thinking it was the same thing.

Just got off the Valor and it was $6 per transaction and the ATM's were out of money Friday (cruise ended Sunday).

Yeah,I was about to disagree with the op's because we just got off of the Legend and I heard someone moaning about the 6 bucks that the ATM just charged them.

 

 

 

The best thing to do is to bring enough cash so that you don't have to worry about those fees or God forbid, the ATM runs out of cash.:eek:

We bring traveler's checks in $100 increments and cash them for free at the Casino. I figure out how much money we need and bring a little extra. I deposit what is left in our bank account when we get home.

Great idea as most banks offer travelers checks for free to their customers.

 

 

AAA does that as well.:cool:

If you DO plan to withdraw cash from the on-board ATM, do it early!! Sometimes, later in the cruise (like the night before debarkation) they run out of cash!

We did a 30 day cruise and the Casino ATM never ran out of cash.

On the flipside I have done 3 and 4 days cruises and people were reporting the ATM was empty by the final evening.

 

People on a 30 cruise budget differently than those on shorter cruises.

I was on the Glory 10/18 to 10/25 and the charge was $6.00 at the ATM. You can get cash for free if you debit your sail and sign card at the slot machines! Just debit sail & sign, and when the credit is posted to your machine, cash out! Free & easy.

Yes they do run out pretty fast. And since the bank that services the ATM's is located back at the port, they are not refilled until after the boat returns. Last week on the Holiday it was out 2nd day. And on the Liberty in September by day 4 they were out.

I drive a truck, and I thought truckstops were gouging me for using my ATM!!! That is like...robbery!

Just got off the Elation, the ATM fee was 6.00 plus 1.50, this ATM was linked to Miami.

Can you cash traveler checks at the pusor's desk? This will be our first cruise so I was just wondering. If so are they going to charge us extra to cash them? Thanks in advance for your answer.

The purser's desk will cash travelers checks for free also. The line at the Casino cashier is usually much shorter.

Thanks, so much! I really appreciate it!

I just got off the Legend yesterday, and everyone is correct about the $6.00 charge. Unless you do your banking at BankAtlantic, like I do, in which case there is NO CHARGE!

I believe the casino only charges 3%... if I need less than $200, I add the $ from my S&S to a machine, then cash out. Voila - still a charge, but less than the ATM & the casino never runs out of cash.

On the Conquest a few weeks ago all of the ATM's were out of order everytime I checked. Not sure if the ever worked.
