Cashing Check on Board

I emailed Oceania last week but still no reply. Can I cash a U.S. check on board for U.S. dollars? Is there a cap or a fee? Thanks.

never email them if you want an answer :D

just call them or get your TA to ask

Frankly, I'd be concerned about needing to transact any amount over $2500.00.

It's not an "official" thing, but they do watch currency use through the Pursers Office and the amounts that will trigger an issue vary by where your ship physically is at that moment. It's not an Oceania thing, different Countries are so funny about money laundering et al, and the reports which must be filed are monstrously time consuming.

Right now, for some reason the Far East seems to be the hotbed of controversy, at least, that is where I'm hearing all of the shouting from.

Can I cash a Travelers check or Personal Check on the ship?

Travelers Checks are cashed onboard our ships. We do not charge a service fee for cashing the checks into US currency. A 5% transaction fee will be added to your onboard account if require foreign currency. Personal checks are not accepted.
