Just doing online check in

[Cruisingbairn]

Hi,

 

In the process of doing online check in. I was just going to provide my credit card for onboard expenses but then I noticed it also gives an option of I will not be setting up and onboard expenses account.

 

What is the best thing to do here?

 

Thanks

Well, if you don't plan to buy anything on board at all (drinks, souvenirs, specialty dining, etc) then don't set it up.

 

Reality check is that there WILL be something you will want to buy on board at some point.

Yes I definitely will be spending money on board was just wondering why you had the option of not setting up an account when surely everyone spends money on board.

Also why does it only ask for the last 4 digits of the card?

They don't take all the info until you check in when boarding, CC is not used till you board the ship.

Its a nice option if you don't want your kids to spend your money. Sometimes they have a little less restraint then the rest of us.

Sort of, but then you lock yourself out too. Best to just turn off their cards I would think.

 

YMMV of course. :)

Also, the CC that you use for the on line check in does not necessarily have to be the one you use on board. If something happens or you change your mind as to which CC you want to use you can change it at the pier when you check in.

You can pay by cash instead of a credit card. We normally use cash and on board credit instead of a credit card.
