smokeybandit Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Everything you pay for on board goes to your seapass card, short of laying down cash in the casino Robert M and BowTieBrigade 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Just like EVERYTHING else….with your seapass card, then ultimately with your credit card on file. Robert M and BowTieBrigade 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Done Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 One of the things that surprises me is the number of guests that settle their on-board account at the end of the cruise with cash. I am sure there are good reasons for doing so. I guess I've led a sheltered life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put it on the account on day one and that is it. That keeps us from over spending. We usually don't spend the full amount either.

So, I don't think they are putting all the cash on their seapass, instead they are paying the balance down and keeping the rest. In the case of lots of refundable OBC, it will be refunded back in the form or payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would go to guest services on the last night of the cruise to get your remaining cash back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobroo Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 There are many circumstances why someone might pay for their cruise expenses in cash. Jumping to conclusions; yes, they might be a drug dealer and have large amounts of cash just lying around. But a better answer is that a parent or grand parent is paying for the vacation. Since a linked credit card has to be to an actual passenger onboard and the parent or grandparent is not present; they just use cash. I have no references for actual data, but today in the US many, many people would be surprised by the number of parents and grandparents financially funding their children and grandchildren on a day to day basis. Even though the recipients are grown adults with college educations. There is a just plain crazy amount of wealth in the US.

teddy Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 We pay cash when we don’t want to put anything on our card. For example, we ended this past cruise with a balance of $19.53. CruizIan, CrimsonCruiser and WAAAYTOOO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryCS62 Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Several years ago, my mom took the family on a cruise for her 80th birthday. She paid for the cruise itself, any ancillary items we wanted were on us. Youngest DD was 16, didn't have a CC, and while she was both responsible and we trusted her, we didn't want her going crazy. Paid for her soda package, didn't do any specialty dining, but wanted her to be able to pay for mocktails, souvenirs, etc when she was on her own. So, we put a predetermined amount of cash attached to her seapass card, told her it was hers to spend as she pleased, and if she ran out, she couldn't buy anything else. Worked out well, and just cashed out the remainder at the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was on Explorer in 2013 - (wow, 9 years ago ), and I don't remember it being a problem -- DH did the actual dealing w/ guest services, and he didn't have any trouble, other than the long line on the last night to close out.

Interesting. Mine would have been around then. They said I could put cash but the credit card had to stay on the seapass card anyway. What would be the point of that! we also asked for a limit on their seapass, they said they couldn’t do it. My concern on this was after a friends son charged $700 worth of arcade and ice cream for his new friends! Needless to say my kids had no charging ability. billnye97 and WAAAYTOOO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrenchieMama79 Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 My husband and I were just discussing how to do this as our two teenage children will be with us and we don’t want to have to worry about the over spending. Can someone please tell me how we put the cash on our seacards? It seems that may be the easier route than dealing with pre auto charges at the end of everything?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
