Departure day
Create an account for onboard expenses
Your cruise fare covers your accommodation, meals and entertainment aboard the ship; if you choose to indulge in optional activities, speciality restaurants, amenities and offerings like alcoholic beverages, spa treatments, casino play, Shore Excursions, photographs, ship-to- shore phone, Internet access, faxes and more, they will be at an additonal cost.
When you check-in you open a shipboard account by registering a major credit, VISA® debit or charge card – VISA® American Express®
, MasterCard® or . If you prefer to pay by cash
or traveller’s cheques, you’ll need to lodge a deposit of U.S.$100 per person per day at check-in (subject to change). Then, you simply sign for your personal expenses as you go and they will be charged to your account.
IMPORTANT
When your debit/credit card is entered to activate your on-board account, an initial approval is obtained from the bank. Please be advised that some banks may hold the pre-authorisation for up to 30 days.
Throughout the voyage incremental holds will be obtained based on your on-board expenditure. This will reduce the amount of available credit on the credit card or restrict the availability of cash in the checking/debit account. To make things even easier, if you haven’t paid the service charge in advance this will also be charged to your on-board account. On the last morning of your cruise you can settle your account in cash (U.S.$ only), or if you have registered a card, the total amount will be automatically charged to that card.
Also note that although most foreign ports accept credit cards and traveller’s cheques, we recommend that you carry a small amount of local currency. Traveller’s cheques may be cashed at the reception desk with proper ID.
Check out our daily onboard newsletter—the Freestyle Daily
Upon check-in at the pier, you’ll receive your first issue of the Freestyle Daily. It is filled with information on the day’s activities and special events. And it’s a great way to get a feel for the ship. Subsequent issues of the Freestyle Daily will be delivered to your stateroom every evening, with information to help you plan the following day.
