Just to clear all this up (as frequent NCL cruisers & casino players):
1. You do not have to use a "Casinos at Sea" card to play. But, if you're more than a very casual player, it helps you - it allows the casino to track your play and offer you "comps" (from free drinks to free meals or spa treatments) based on your level of play.
2. Slots are cash or ticket in, ticket out. Redeem the ticket at the cashier cage when you're done.
3. Table games are cash in, chips out. Redeem the chips at the cashier cage.
4. On NCL you can go to the casino cashier cage, and by authorizing a charge against the credit card associated with your room, get cash for gambling. The advantages to doing this as opposed to using the on-board ATM are: no fees and higher cash limits. This is different from Carnival's system, where you authorize the charge, and the available dollars are placed on your "Sign and Sail" card, which is then used in the machine.
Hope that all makes sense!
Ok, can someone make sure I understand this correctly, please? So you go in and authorize a charge to the card associated with you room. Is this amount taken out of your obc, or will is show up as a separate charge on your card?
