Casino credit process?

What is the current process for applying pre-purchased casino credit? I did searches and think I have a good idea of how things work, but would like to verify that there haven't been any changes to the system. We are headed to Alaska soon and I don't want to carry a lot of extra cash as we are doing land tours prior to the cruise. I also don't want to put the whole casino bill on the ship board account. I would like to spread the casino funding between a couple of credit card cycles.

If I buy $1000 in pre-purchased casino credit.......

Will I get paper vouchers in my cabin? Then would I cash them out at the casino cage and use the cash to gamble? This seems like the easiest way.

What happens if the casino credit is applied to my on board account? Does it show as a casino credit and when I use my card to transfer money to a slot machine it shows the credit reduced? How does it show up differently on the account than OBC? It seems a bit confusing to me. What is the benefit of buying casino credit over buying OBC? If I am lucky enough to have left over casino credit at the end of the cruise, how do I cash it out?

Also, I understand that getting gambling cash advances don't have a fee whether using a slot machine transfer or getting chips at the table or for buying in at the electronic poker table? I get my cruise lines mixed up sometimes!

Thanks in advance,

Dawn

Every cruise I have been on it is vouchers in your cabin. Increments of 100.00. Take them to the casino cage and cash them in.

It used to be that you could pre-purchase casino credit, then vouchers waiting in your room can be redeemed in the casino.

That's changed.

Last time I did this, the vouchers were just FYI stating that the casino credit had been applied to my room account. Room charges in the casino offset these credits.
