ATM on Sapphire?

[CruzerKat]

:confused: This is probably a really dumb question but is there an ATM on board and if so, how much is the fee and where is it located.

Trying to figure out the best way to bring or not have to bring lots of cash.

You can go to the Passenger Services Desk and cash in Travelers checks and any other banking needs you might have. You can also get change in the casino if the Passenger desk is busy before you get into port.

 

hope this helps...

Thanks hotshot99 and graim!

And the fee isn't bad...have paid more locally.

I would imagine there are also ATM's at every Port also?

I was on the Sapphire this April. I didn't use the ATM in the Casino, since an attendant indicated that it charged $5 / transaction (since I didn't actually use it, I can't confirm it). The casino charges 3% if you get cash from your shipboard account. I tend to use ATM's in the ports - while most work, some only accept local bank cards (as in my experience with certain locations in Japan).

I used the ATM in the casino on the Caribbean Princess last April without asking and was charged a whopping $6.50 for the transaction so check before you make a withdrawal. I also tried a machine in St. Maarten and it was $6.

I tried to get $100 to play in a 5 cent slot machine and they would only give me tokens or chip voucher for the tables. they said it was a Carnival policy and they wouldn't give me cash. I would make them give me 100 dollar tokens and then stand back in line and cash them in. How stupid is that. Shame on you Carnival and shame on the Princess for allowing Carnival to buy them out.
