Limiting Onboard Spend - Grand Princess

[Shadydee]

Hi folks

 

I am travelling with as part of a larger party on GP in July. One cabin will be taken up by 2 teenagers and a 21 year old. They are paying for their onboard accounts themselves and none have a credit card. Can they lodge cash at the start of the cruise - and is there any way to limit their spending so they dont blow it all in the first few days (I speak from experience from coming home to some large cc bills in the past!)

 

Thanks

They can put cash up front for their spending. Not sure how you could limit it except only have them put down the amount of cash they/you think they should spend the first few days and then add cash to the account as you go.

Without someone's credit or debit card on the account, the "limit" will be the amount of cash on the account.

I thought there was a minimum of $300 if you planned to pay cash, that needed to be put down up front on your shipboard account (without a credit card back up).

And don't forget that gratuity will be charged daily ($11 pp) to the accounts as well.

If they are using cash, they will need to put down a deposit to cover anticipated expenses. I believe the initial deposit is $300 per person for a one week cruise. If their spending is getting close to the deposit, they will be asked to put down more money. If they fail to do that, they will be cut off.

We are doing this on our cruise and i was told there is a 600 dollar minimum per cabin or 300 per person.
